DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

This looks to be a nice clean example at good money. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121221381273

No affiliation.

Depends what it goes for as to how good a deal it ends up but looks nice

Last night it had a £30k buy it now price (unless I was dreaming!) which has since been removed.

Buy it now still showing on the link.

Looks very nice from pics

The registration comes up as a 2.2 911 Turbo in Silver??

Guess maybe it didn't look like this when it came across in 99??

I'd want to know who did all the restoration work and expect pictures showing it all....otherwise could be just externally very shiny after a paint...

At first glance sounds promising..... Photographs of car taken in "last of summer wine" country not York.

What worries me is I've never heard of the Porsche expert that the seller (or rather the seller's "friend") refers to, or his business. Indeed a bit of googling reveals some not so complimentary feedback on the expert.

Have any of you northern 911 owners heard of him? Possibly a trade sale really?

I'm still tempted .....

Mirror fitted to Passenger side only.....LHD in UK and all that, but still weird.

Lets see

The front & rear slam panels are bit of a tell I'd suggest.

Actually Bronté country.... Haworth in fact

Yep, I'm tempted too but agree the slam panels do seem a bit more aged than the rest of the shiny paintwork! Has it just had a blow over? Also looks like the shut lines might be a little iffy on the close up shot of the door (or is it just me?)

Presuming its non original colour judging by the above comment of it being a silver turbo? Also missing its sill trims and potentially expensive door bins.

Only a bit more ?? .....
If you were doing that job for yourself (or even for anyone else) ... would you leave them looking like that ??

...mind you he's either very honest , or has a white stick or a dog ... for putting the pictures up !!

Only a bit more ?? .....

Sorry, was probably being a bit generous with that comment but I am viewing the pics on a tiny phone screen so difficult to get the full scale of patina, just looks like they've been painted with underseal blown on through a McDonalds straw from where I'm sitting.

Also looks like the metal channel behind the lower part of the bonnet seal is very distorted and totally crushed on the one side! Sign of previous accident damage maybe or just a careless owner who's buckled it putting something super heavy under the bonnet?

I could be wrong and its not a big deal, but the dash looks recovered and a bit baggy....

Aren't the wipers sweeping the wrong way for LHD? And why do vendors insists on showing that the car has carpet under the bonnet, I want to see what's under that!?
