Needs some money throwing at it but could be a fun car.

Hmmm, seems a little too good to be true...

Lovely project. Body appears sound. Beware them asking for a deposit to secure the car.

That’s silver911SC’s of this parish.
He’s 100% genuine and has recently bought a ‘67 so this has to go (have I got that right James?)

Im not sure who is currently selling it, but I know a previous owner. I gather the description that the body needs to go on a jig is definately correct !

Say's unsold. It's been on and off of ebay for over a year now.

Yeah. I know it’s RHD and that there are the bits there (in whatever condition) for a hot 2.7 motor, but if it does want serious bodywork you could easily be spending £100k+ to get that car on the button and it’ll only ever be a bitsa. You need someone who really wants the fun of a project and doesn’t mind the cost to take something like that on.
I’d much sooner spend £40-£50k on a useable LHD car and hot up the motor down the line.

Matt is correct.
That WAS my car and it has gone to a good home. I had toyed with the idea of selling her many times but having just picked up a SWB project, I simply couldn’t keep both.
The new owner is going to tidy the interior with a load of nice parts/panels I had from Matt and others. He’s then going to seal the engine a bit, remove the race clutch, tune her, and then run her as she stands. He used to own a genuine 2.7 RS so knows his way around them.
As some said, you could put £100k in to her, or put £10k in to her and have a load of fun. The new owner is going to do the later
….now on with sourcing SWB parts!! This is going to be so much harder than sourcing all those LWB parts, and that was tricky enough.

I knew that car years (30/35?) ago when David Lees lived in Sanderstead round the corner from my parents. He always had interesting cars on his drive. Parr used to be in Old Coulsdon then.
