Hello Everyone - Another Newbie here.......

Hello Everyone - another know-nothing Newbie here......

I love early 911s, and have had Porsche's on and off for years now, but recently decided on the hair-brained scheme of buying one or two from the states to grace my newly-built workshop. One or two turned into sixteen(!), and now I can't move for the bloody things......

So, a massive clear out is in order, and I thought here might be the place to try and start. I know the organisers of this site don't like things being advertised without prices but I'm hoping that I'll be allowed to just list the things that I've got, and ask if anyone is interested in coming to see me to discuss parting with some of it (I must emphasis that I don't want to get rid of everything - I just want a bit of space!!)

Here goes:
The cars are:

*all are LHD*

911T Coupe non-matching numbers, needs restoration, original colour Orange (recently listed on ebay - reached just under 10k, which was below my reserve)

911T Coupe Matching Numbers, Certificate of Origin, colour changed from Gold to White, 12 months MOT, Registered and Taxed, Excellent Condition

911E Coupe 1971 (this is currently on an ebay listing)

911E Coupe 1971 Matching Numbers, 2.2 MFI Engine, Certificate of Origin, original colour was Burgundy - needs restoration

911E Coupe 1970 Matching Numbers, 2.2 MFI Engine, Certificate of Origin, original colour Tangerine, needs restoration

911E Coupe 1971 Matching Numbers 2.2 on Carbs, Certificate of Origin, White, presented as an RS Replica - excellent condition, full tax and MOT, registered.

911E Targa 1972 (non-matching numbers) This car has a 1972 2.4 911T Engine fitted on carbs, coming to the end of full restoration so will be immaculate

911E Targa 1972 Matching Numbers 2.4 Engine. This engine has been converted to 2.7 RS Spec (Nikasil Barrels, re-calibrated pump, etc). Condition of the car is very good.

911E Targa 1971 - pretty rotten but purchased for the fact that it has a 1965 2.0 Engine fitted (901/01 casings)

911 SWB 1966 Stripped shell in excellent order, but has been fitted with later style rear wings (and longer trailing arms to change to LWB, but the originals are with it) and later front wings. This car was going to used with the 1965 901/01 2.0 engine to make an FIA Papered race car. This car came with two 2.0 engines itself, although one is partially stripped, and the other completely stripped.

911E 1971 Coupe No Engine. This car needs wings (turbo arch conversion done at some time) and removal of an after-market glass sunroof, plus general restoration

911T Targa 1971. No Engine This car has a hideous Miami Vice style body conversion on it (slant nose, etc) but is actually a very sound shell

912 1969 Needs full restoration

1972 911T MFI Engine complete (out of car so no idea of running condition)

915 Gearbox

3 Full Sets Genuine 7 & 8 x15 Fuchs (for RS) - Perfect condition

Plus numerous other bits and pieces…….

As you can see, my hobby has got out of control……..HELP!

You've amassed quite a lot for a 'know nothing' newbie and your descriptions don't seem to be from somebody with no knowledge.

As you state - Really if you're looking to sell the cars listed I'd rather see them advertised in the classifieds with prices as per our rules although best to introduce yourself before launching into advertising stuff for sale immediately, especially a whole list of cars.

I'm a little confused as to if all are for sale in your list? Some are being restored for sale?

Happy for you to advertise them but would ask for some clarity of what's for sale and prices. Also if you're trading be up front, no problem

Plus you'll get a lot more response there than with 1 post in the new members section which is designed for brief intros

Welcome to DDK by the way.

yeah, the "know nothing" bit was slightly tongue in cheek, you're right - although I'd say I'm a keen amateur, rather than a pro Porsche enthusiast.

I would like to sell some of the cars, but not all of them. It is a simple truth that I've just bought too many of them and, although one of my employees is a very talented restorer who will definitely do some of the cars for me, there are now so many in a relatively small space that it's becoming almost impossible to do anything productive at all.

As to whether I am trading - I don't really know. This most definitely isn't what I do for a living. I am connected with the motor trade effectively though, because I'm what's known as an Picture Vehicle Coordinator in the film industry, and have been for over 30 years.

But I'll start to list some of the stuff for sale shortly......

Thanks for your comments

Sounds like an interesting career.

Look forward to seeing some for sale ads as I'm sure will other members, you've amassed quite a collection there!

Welcome. Interesting list of cars.

Clearly quite a successful Picture Vehicle Coordinator!

We seem to have moved from knows nothing, to keen amateur not a pro Porsche entusiast, to "lifelong 911 enthusiast" ready to assist clients in selecting the right car?

Welcome to DDK Darren.

I would be interested in your 7 and 8 inch Fuchs wheels for an RS if they are the correct part number and date stamps. Could you send me a pm with those details please?

Mike
