1976 911S From New Hampshire to (old) Hampshire UK!

Post by Diesel76 »

Super excited to be bringing over my first air-cooled Porsche. I thought I had proper missed the boat on ever owning one but this beaut came up so a fire-sale of my 996.2, motorbike and various garage trinketry and I had enough for the car and the transport... I will worry about the rest later :)

She is my perfect spec. 1976 2.7. Non-sunroof. Lobster red tweed. sunburnt OG paint. BITZ efi. Minilite wheels.

I am currently tracking her voyage across the Atlantic, should be with me mid September.

Look forward to meeting up at various events I attend (Boxengasse, Sunday Scramble, etc)

Sounds pretty cool another IB in Hampshire.

Not sure why your photo link doesn't work for me - would be interested to see the photos.

It's such a great feeling collecting a car from the shipping company, getting it home, spending a few hours looking all over it, hoping it's as good as you were told it was and discovering it's even better!

Bravo!
