Beautifully put Mike

Cheers All,

I seemed to have put two and two together and made 5 on what I had read and what was on the adverts. I let this sway my original plans.

Lots of good advise, and now the hunt is on. I'll be chasing as good as I can get pre'73 E or S. Will let you know how I get on, and also pick peoples brains as and when etc.

... that's what we like to hear .

Just to add though

... won't get you a 72 / 73 S and you might struggle to find an E at this money, especially one that doesn't need work.

I'd ignore the model & just search for the best condition car you can find. Any well looked after sorted early 911 will give you much more fun & enjoyment than a 'bad / cheap' shed you buy just because it is an E or an S

Nothing wrong with a '72 T

or a 72 T/E. I don't know where you are but you'd be welcome to drive mine, subject to me having your pin number of course

Thanks Mike,

I may take you up on the offer. I'm in Bromley, Kent. Would love to noseround the genuine article and pick up some advice etc. I'll drop you a line in a while to see if it's still OK and when would be convenient.

Cheers

There's an ivory S on the for sale board ( search for Bruce ) within your price range. Looks like a nice car - although I've only seen the pictures ....

Whooopps! - just read Gary71's post -

There is, I think a silver 911S on pistonheads - which has been discussed and seen by Bert Roex, that may also be in your price range, but that one is LHD.

Having just gone through the process of purchase, good hunting !
Good luck.
