356 C I am thinking of buying

When you took the picture of the o/s front wheel, was the door open? If not then the door gaps are poor and you should investigate further. Also T6 body with a T5 tank ???????
And speaking from bitter experience, (tho not in the Porsche World so far) the more people you ask for advice before buying, the more likely it is that someone will snap it out from under your nose. Ask a few of the right people the right questions, do your homework and act quickly. He who hesitates is lost!!
Good luck

My own thoughts are that 18 would normally probably buy a rough-ish but useable left hooker, very broadly speaking, so this is either a bargain (family discount included!) or cheap for a reason.. sounds like Mike knows something about it (wonder what it is!!?)

Re Winston I thought some RHD C's had the earlier tank? Thought it was to do with the steering column, in my LHD C, the tank sits over to the offside. That nice grey RHD C for sale recently also had a T5 tank..most likely I'm talking nonsense..

Id call Mike at PR.
If he knows about the car and wants you to speak to him, its prob not a good sign

Looks very, very good nick for a car thats not been restored ?

I spoke to Mike today. Thanks Mike by the way. Very interesting chat

All will be revealed in due course

I need to supply him with a few important numbers, but it looks goodish so far

Should have more information later in the week

Winston,

I am assured of first refussal on this, so if i don't the next in line has the car if he/she wants it, but being a family friend for 50 years i am sure that it will go to me once i decide or otherwise

from the pictures I would say that the front valance. The part of the panel under the front bumper looks the wrong shape which could be a bad repair from rust or accident damage. I wouldn't want to put you off buying it but you did ask. It does look nice in the pictures other than that and seems like a fair price in todays market

Hi All
As far as I have noted the T6 RHD cars started off with the earlier T5 fuel tank and later in the C production went over to a tank that looked more like the long range tank offered in the A and B but with an external filler like the LHD cars , when you see the arrangement for mounting it it all looks a bit home made, the RHD cars never got an identical set up, I suppose it would have cost too much for the limited numbers they made. So what has Mike so excited, and what about those four switches..
Yours Bill.
