1973 911 2.4T.....Breaking for Spares
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2018 9:47 am
Sadly true!
I recently acquired a 1973 built American spec 911 2.4T that had sustained a heavy impact to the NSR quarter twisting the shell and was sadly deemed a catergory B write-off by the insurance company. As such the vehicle cannot be returned to the road and can only be broken for parts.
I have no plans to reveal the identity of the vehicle and would appreciate those who know not to highlight any information on this forum out of respect for the previous owner. However to answer a couple of questions for those curious; fortunately no one was injured in the accident, no other vehicles were involved, no one was at fault and it was a sad freak accident on a stretch of dual carriageway at normal motorway speeds involving an unforgiving concrete barrier. On another day in another location the vehicle would have remained unscathed. Pure rotten bad luck.
Losing this vehicle was particularly sad being the most solid, straight and original car I've ever stripped. The car was 100% complete and unmolested with all original metal and was mostly original paint. The car was pretty much exactly as it left the factory. All parts are in good original order except where stated. Being 1973 many items are identical to those fitted to the 2.7RS.
I have put together the following brief list however it is far from comprehensive and basically everything from a complete car is available although obviously some items are damaged. I have also listed a few other parts that I've acquired over the years. I'm no expert when it comes to prices so happy to be corrected (either way!) if I'm off the mark. Please note all prices are plus VAT. Items can be collected from Swindon, Wiltshire or delivery at cost.
For all queries please email me - darren@swindoncarandvan.co.uk - I'm more than happy to send photographs but only if you seriously want to buy the item.
Edit: No screws, fixings, bolts or clips available - sorry.
I have sent this list to various people and some items may no longer be available.
Thanks for looking




Cheers,
