DRY 704K #00415.

A well-known car.

Shame it's not still how it was when Russell had it ...

.

is that the one Brain Burrows built ? If it is I loved it in its 'hot-rod' form

.
Yes - BB commissioned Russell to build it (most work being carried out by Neil Bainbridge) but I think he changed his mind before it was finished so Russell kept it for a while ...

.

it may not be commercially viable to restore a 2.4S to this obsessive standard today

Maybe not. But another 500 quid for some proper hinge bolts and a headliner with the correct pattern might have been money well spent.

Sorry, nit picking, provoked by the even-more-than-usually-nonsensical sales description. This bit is particularly awful:

... has been generally acknowledged by those who truly understand these cars, as possibly one of the finest restored examples available anywhere...

It does look very nice. I can imagine it would have been nicer still as a hot rod, or a race car. Anyone got pics of that?

Had a good look at it at Goodwood the other weekend, lovely, but looked over restored to me.

Thanks Andy. Someone should buy it and convert to ST spec!

Were there only 40 rhd 911s imported to the uk in 1972 ?

Plausible.
Not researched '72, but I believe that a UK RHD 69S is one of 32, and a UK RHD 70S is one of 35.

If it had been over restored I’d like to think the horn grill and the sidelight/indicator lens might have lined up a little better!

Or the right wheels sourced.......

What’s up with the wheels Mike? Look ok to me, other than a slightly matt finish maybe?

Gearshift tower looks ‘73 rather than ‘72, but I might be wrong on this one as well!

Later wheels (ring-type centre caps) ...
