911e sporto barn find

74rsman · Post by **74rsman** » Thu Oct 14, 2010 12:57 pm

I have visions of it feeling like driving down the road, pressing the clutch and letting the kids change gear for you (or a similiarly dubious process).

I love Auto's but thats because I can sit on a hill knowing there is no clutch merrily burning away holding the biting point (at least i think there isnt)

Im not sure the sporto taking all the work away of pressing that pedal is for me - Im speculating wildly though I havent tried it.

I wonder if you can get one of those demon tweeks turbo dump valve chitter things for the clutch vacuum release,

erm, ch.peew peew peew, errrrrm

You could always use the handbrake, on most cars you will find it on the floor behind the gear lever

Due to other commitments I havnt had much car time recently but hopefully things should start moving again now.
Today I removed the headlights to get the rings re-chromed, for some reason the headlight glasses are marked differently, is this normal ?

Also found this in the car,

Was also very pleased with the condition of the headlight bowls.

You are a very lucky boy,

Your car looks like it's in fantastic condition and not only that but very few folk have meddled with it. It's a very special motor. Now look sharp and let's get it on the road.

Incredible. Just like new. Quite remarkable...

you've got a VERY special car there

... hopefully one that will be used as intended though ( not a fan of garage queens)

Certainly wont be a garage queen, its got quite a few scratches here and there but im not worried about them, its an old car and I dont want it to look like its just out of the showroom.
"tidy" is what I'm going for, this car is a keeper, I have grown insanely attached to it even though I havnt driven it, dont think we will ever be parted.
Im currently trying to move house for one reason and one reason only, I need room to work on and house my cars

Thanks for the kind comments, helps spur me on, she will be on the road in the summer!

Keith, you don't need us to tell you that you're a very lucky chap indeed! I for one am very glad that this truly wonderful car has snapped up by a true enthusiast. Keep your fingers crossed that the ideal home pops up for you, your family and your wonderful cars! Best of luck.

Just noticed your interesting thread. My 1966 912 was serviced in 1968 and 1969 by Motortune Ltd., as per your license holder, shortly after which the engine blew up and had to be rebuilt!
Good luck with your fine car.
