The basic details were thankfully,
It is a 911E, 1969
Matching numbers, chassis, engine, gearbox
Originally light ivory with unique red interior
The rest of the information blew our minds!
I don't think this car can ever be cloned. We have made sure now that it has been well and truly documented on here so Brendan and I have decided to reveal the build number (after much discussion). It may not mean a great deal to you just now but it will.
More tomorrow............

This discovery is a major find - a totally unique car that was probably thought to have long disappeared (or been destroyed) ...

That's a little cruel on Bert. He's nearly got it.
