1973 911 E RHD - Gemini Blue

Re: 1973 911 E RHD - Gemini Blue
Looking for some technical help. This is a picture of what I think is a relatively original car. It has the same interior colour scheme as mine, blue with madras inlays. The parcel shelf in this is all blue.
Would this be the case or do others think it would be black to match the door caps?

Hi Tom,Tp81 wrote:I am also going to add the CDI+ unit to the car.
Almost there now and your car is looking great. I definitely recommend the CDI+ unit. Due to a huge overspend on the restoration I wasn’t able to get my engine rebuilt so it was exactly the same as before the restoration. I don’t have any empirical evidence to prove this but adding the CDI+ made a big difference to how the engine felt.
I too have a muffler skirt on my 73 911E since it had one from the factory. I think they look good on certain cars like ours.
Kind regards

Wasn't sure at first but I think it will work with the colour and the chrome.

Great progress Tom.Mike sent my engine down to Neils after rebuild.
Neil fitted solid rockers,then run it in on the dyno.Quite scary when you see the dyno in action.

Gary has been battering on with the car, despite me holding things up trying to source the right vinyl. Surprising how difficult it is to find the right colour of blue leatherette that would have come in the blue and madras interior. Finally managed to source what I think is as close to the original as I can. Some members on the Early 911s Registry were helpful with some images ad a few on here shared some interior shots. Southbound have shipped the blue carpet. All that is needed is the engine in and some more serious set up work can begin.
Number plates have been sent for the car.
Getting closer very day.

Might have to sell it Darren or the 2.7? Something will have to give, it has cost a fortune. Despite all this I bought a private plate for it yesterday.Darren65 wrote:Awesome, so looking forward to seeing this car on the roadTp81 wrote:.......

Re: 1973 911 E RHD - Gemini Blue
Tom hope your well, at least let me see it before you decide I would be keeping the 2.7 all day long
Re: 1973 911 E RHD - Gemini Blue
All good Gary, hope all is good with you. Will definitely let you see the car, Gary Cook is doing an incredible job. Would love to keep everything and will be trying to make this happen. Will see how things end.GazC2 wrote:Tom hope your well, at least let me see it before you decide I would be keeping the 2.7 all day long
I need to build a new garage and it's killing me thinking sell a car to build the garage.....then no car to put in it.

That’s the worst bit of logic I have heard in a while! Come on Tom, work harder on the man maths.Tp81 wrote:I need to build a new garage and it's killing me thinking sell a car to build the garage.....then no car to put in it.
