Add in WFH754H, looks to be within the last 200 numbers of the last 912 produced, so possibly one of the last U.K. cars. Was for sale on Facebook and ebay recently, very rusty, red, no engine.

Vin is 129000226.

HBL918G, rotting out at the side of a road in Somerset 🤦‍♂️ I last tried to buy it in 2012, they won’t sell because its sentimental. It’s now unviable after another 10 years outside in a bush.

Just saw this Picture of Porsche 912 Reg CLA 912H. For sale on ebay. It is listed here as still being taxed. A little bit of history for the current owner.

Real Photograph.

Taken at Entrevaux Alps de Haut Provence. 1972.

Loose mounted.

The mounted is water stained lower right. A crease lower right on the mount and photograph

So after a number of flips on the web with ever increasing prices, it became a post turtle. After it finally got a proper once over and they discovered it has more rust than the remains of the titanic, it was pretty much deemed unviable.

And the inevitable happened, and it has become my millstone to grind. For pretty much what I offered the original seller in the first place. Funny old world.

Another to add, my March ‘66 AFN delivered 912 in Aga blue. It was shipped Stateside in the 70’s, then came back about 10 years ago. The previous owner stripped and dipped it, found more rust than he expected, then became unwell for sone time, so it unfortunately sat in bare metal for a long time. This is how I found it.

It’s near Shepton Mallet. A mate went to see it the other week, it’s very ripe now, no answer at the house.

Hi there, does anyone know anything about chassis 353412? I believe bought new in July 1966 by Betty Haig and first registered BLH 7. That plate removed in the following year, so may have reverted to a D registration at that point. Curious to know any further details. many thanks, Robert
