Has the engine been built in house by DDK's Nick?

I know I am often behind the curve with society but surely their has to be a limit on the amount of hugely expensive old 911's that seem to appear weekly?

Bound to be wrong, but I thought hydraulic hand brake was illegal in an Mot, but i suppose if you have a real mechanical one, all is well.

Graham, I know that here you can turn up with a hydraulic h/brake fitted but it has to “disabled”, eg the handle disconnected and the std sting handbrake fully functional.

Wish them all the luck with this, as Singer have a 5 year wait for their cars they should sell them because now Singer will only sell the Turbo look cars because they want to keep the residuals of the ones they made afloat.
Tuthill got shafted with the Safari style car by Porsche AG so this is a solution that fits with them.
Even as a fan of these Restomods wonders how far it should go? Normally the ratio of extra 100hp on a 911 is multiplied by $100,000.
I know this may upset some people but this is a pretty limited car to use car. You aren't going to drive it in the winter or rain as it doesn't have a heater, it doesn't have A/C so driving it on a motorway or in traffic is going to be a no no. So you are going to have mild weather b roads blat like a very expensive Caterham. You won't track day it as some bloke in a Clio clips you and most Porsche Cup races are a gentleman driver illustration of how money doesn't buy talent.
The Porsche community is worse that a Star Wars convention when it comes to details and the very people who will know what you have are divided by it. God forbid you have Keith after a few mid strength beers tell you what he really thinks of it.
