Yes, but you get a car *you've done* and to many (me included) that matters - you know what's under the hidden bits

Ah, agreed - never buy off pics like this

still cheap compared to the 1 million '901 prototype'!

Seriously though, you can have just as much fun in a nice T or 912 - status comes at a high price.

I agree you can have as much fun in any early Porsche .... but an S is not about status

I did, grown to like the colour.

Nice one at Goodwood on Friday when I was there.

Going to fly up to see it in a day or so, followed by transporter to bring the bits home

One of only 45 S cars in RHD imported that year.

This has probably been a unique event. There can't be another to uncover yet can there?

Check the build number before you hand over the cash........just to be sure.

Will do Mike, thanks for the advise.

I will post some real pictures once I've been to see the car and happy.

congratulations. Like you say, its only money and you can 'off' the number plate to Tom Bobson. to buy a set of wheels

if it turns out anything like your 356 it'll be a corker !
