I owned this about 10 years ago and have loads of happy memories of trips and tours. Looked way cooler back then with a flat lid, S bumper and no silly stickers.

It’s not what you’d call ‘all original metal’ but if you win it Graham you’ll have a ball.

...who produced those hideous rear bumpers?

I remember Russ having one on his Pirelli car and being the butt of countless jokes until he changed it!

It's not my real intention to buy it, but I don't think my T will get done any time soon, so it would fill a gap. With a vin from a targa, what did the shell come from?

Dunno. It’s a while ago but as far as I recall the history is unknown. As the images show, I sold it for £17k , at that time that decent reps were £40k+.

I’d say half there price of a good one is still where it wants to be. If you can get it for £35k it’s a good bit of fun. If it goes beyond £40k you’d probably be better getting something else.

When they were £17k, or the £9k I gave, it didn’t matter much about VINs and fat-bottom-bumpers and jumbo tins of filler.

Here is a very rare special car !!!!

Looks lovely and probably well known. Has a lot of the right parts. Who doesn’t love an orange ST....

Would look better on 15s.

Local to me

They are 15's James ...

Well done you two. You pass again for another year. Me? Not so lucky

Just seen that “Collecting Cars” will be auctioning “the Leonard Collection” soon
Chris Harris has done a quick walk through on that Instagram.

Dunno what the Leonard Collection is but someone has deep pockets and a lot of Porsches soon to be for sale

Should we worry about the location

no worries about the location. All is spot on. The seller is a friend

And has been on many a DDK run out - so yes, no need to worry

Now that’s a thoroughly sensible collection of cars. I wouldn’t have done much differently myself.
