Might be my favourite ever Porsche. Seems like a good way to spend a million.

Looks very nice.

Couple of things I noticed - shouldn't the indicator (turn signal) lenses have a chrome surround? I think that was correct for '71.

Are those dash vents correct?

Anyway looks real nice - I assume the sportomatic shifts okay?

Started driving to the MOT station the other say and realised the horn no longer worked. Only 34 years before failure! Very poor. Had to buy one for a mercedes from GSF to get it passed. Is a horn a horn or you think originality important here? :lol:

7100rpm 911E rotor

I've had this a while. I bought it as my rotor was looking a bit old, but my car wouldn't start with it in. I bought it from Berlyn services, its had no use, so I don't know why my car didn't like it. It is for a 7100 rpm limit. http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/720/pict1052se8.th.jpg £10 inc. post. ...

Mine has both the front overriders plus a badge bar on bot the front and the rear. Personally I don't like the look. Pics:

I just fitted some 195/65x15 and they look the part. On Pelican they seem to be going crazy of the Vredstein sprint classic because they are the original size and have a vintage tread pattern. While I am all for originality, I can't see the point when it comes to tyres! :lol: I got 4 Barum Bravuris ...

Hey Luke -

I'd be interested in your ballpark valuation Luke since my car is virtually identical to yours apart from the bling interior and obviously mine being a sporto.
