Goodbye to one Porsche, hello to another - 1970 911T

Last summer around the time of the Porsche World picnic I decided to sell my 912 due to it looking like it needed a full restoration that I didn't have the time or money to do justice to. So after a lot of interest from Europe I sold the car, and off it headed to Spain.

It turned out the 914 on the car carrier was for the same person!

I initially wanted another 912 but in better condition and started looking around. Mark (912uk) persuaded me to go and have a look at the 911T that Alan was selling and once I went to see it I decided I had to have it.

After Alan had taken care of a few things, got it running really nicely and sorted everything out with the DVLA it was time to collect it just after Christmas.

I've covered 200 or so miles in the last two weeks and loved every bit of it! I've got a few things I'd like to do to the car but they're mainly just details.

Looking forward to lots more driving this Spring and Summer.

Looks fabulous - great colour - reminds me of something--------

Tell us about the different driving experience between the 911 and 912

Looking good Mark.
Polished Fuchs? I have to say I like 'em.

Fantastic,

I really really liked that car the moment I set eyes to it -on line-.
I see it is now on 15 inch wheels instead of the 14 ones ?

Many happy miles and please post more pictures!!!

Yep, did look like a great car for a sensible price. I was quite tempted to go and take a peak myself. Well done, hope you have lots of fun with it.

I'd also be very interested to know your experience of comparing the two to drive.
