I have sold my 911 Carrera and as circumstances now dictate, I am looking for a 911 that I can use year round (10K miles per year).
Firstly - is this madness in an early 911 ? If OK, please read on.....
Not concerned particularly with outright speed, so an early car may be an alternative to the 964 that I am also considering - views please. Later cars can be a licence breaker !!!!!
LHD is not a problem (my Carrera was and it felt right with the pedal alignment not being offset).
Rust is a problem to me - I am no bodywork man, and the car needs to be used so cannot spend periods off the road - therefore please only suggest rust free cars, or those that can be restored easily by a bodyshop.
Overall, I am looking for a very straight, original and clean car with plenty of overall history, and recent detailed history.
If you have such a car (Alex has a great looking 68 but a bit too much for me sadly), then please get in touch with as many photos and as much detail as you can.
My budget is £14K - I cannot go to more than this, so please bear this in mind.
I am a serious buyer, and will travel to see a car that meets my criteria.
Thanks for you help.
Finally - if anyone lives near Stratford-upon-Avon that is prepared to let me take a look at their car, and discuss early 911 ownership, then please get in touch (my only experience has been with my 1986 Carrera).
