White walls on a sports car is very USA, and esp California imho.
A Healy 3000 looks good on them there, as do E Type, TR6 etc, but on a 911 it somehow misses the target.
Guess I'm not alone.

71 car that the ad says was delivered with a 2.7 engine? 2.4 script on the back which wasn't available in 71? Now with a 2.2 engine that is correct for 71? Perhaps I misread

The listing says that somebody had swapped the original 2.2T engine for a later 2.7 engine & 915 gearbox.
Current owner then sourced/fitted a 2.2 engine & dogleg gearbox.

Ad in this month's Porsche Post offering 3 £25k shares in a 996 GT3 '04, plus monthly payments of £150 to cover maintenance and insurance. 'Appreciating asset'
Legal complications and value for money aside, hoping this is not a sign of further commoditisation of the hobby...
Or how many DDKers does it take to buy a '73 RSR?

That ad has been in there for well over a year, and I simply can’t understand why anyone would do it. You would need 4 like minded people to make it work (ie none of them drive it at all, or on a very limited mileage basis) otherwise one chap with £25k to burn could ruin their investment by sticking loads of miles (worse track miles) on it.
On the yellow targa I am trying to figure out the wheels. Are they trims hiding steels?

Thanks Andy, I did wonder if they would be something rare and make me appear a dullard!
Not really a fan of the cheap wheel trims look myself....
