Great photos Darren. Some nice cars pictured there. 8)
I'm sure the funny colour green one was at Heddingham last week.

Yep, your car looked perfect Darren. Great pics and a nicely done event, PC Swindon can really put on a show of customer cars, over 20. But with so many immaculate and well used 911's it's impossible for me to name a favourite.

Given that Peter Lovett's Peking - Paris car has been so successfully hard driven across nearly 8000 mls, there's hardly a mark on it. Lovely car.

Yep, it'll turn up for any ol' event and it'll be needing a new funny colour green badge soon :wink:

Don't think so Paul, just a really common car/colour combo…….every meet, every event, every other car magazine cover, they're all over the bloody place! :wink: …..

:lol: Too right! We need more green cars :)

Got any more early S detail pics Darren?

And for 993 fans that white C2 was perfect, as was it's big brother GT2. :bounce:

Hi Darren,

great pictures and your car looks lovely. Do you know any more details of Peter Morgans car as it has an uncanny resemblance to mine. Obviously my car is a lwb 69 car but the reg isn't too far away :)

First time I'd seen the car in the flesh, thought I knew the number plate!

Peter documented his rebuild with a number of videos which can be seen here… http://www.youtube.com/petermorgan911 …I've not caught up with them for a while although have to thank Peter for pointing me in the direction of Nick Fulljames with his engine rebuild clip.

Cheers,
