Well, seeing as I can't follow up on the thread for the original listing :roll: I suppose I better start one of these.... the original listing:

I forgot to add, I also have an original 2.0S brochure in English, print date 1966 for sale to anyone who might be interested in buying her.

I'm prepared to comment... :wink:

That is one sexy motherfrickin' motor vehicle!

LOVE it, want to drive it, want to own it, want it, want it, WANT IT!!!

Whoever takes over the ownership from Philip will be one lucky person (one I will be extremely jealous of!) :oops:

Good luck with the sale.

Oh, PM sent! :wink: :lol:

Yeah, and I've got some chrome 20's with leds for the underside too! :lol:

The ride height has been the topic of much debate with the guys at Autofarm and we all believe it's right - she drives beautifully with it. :-)

It's personal taste but take a look at a period photo of a production SWB.....

Seems like a very fair price - better value now IMHO than when Autofarm were selling it ...

Thanks Andy - I really appreciate that :-) I agonised over what to advertise her for and in the end thought there's no point being silly.

I do hope she goes to a good home - I've already had some very serious enquiries :-)

I like your car Phil.
I remember checking it out when I was buying an early 911 in 2005?
It was at Beaulieu and looking lovely. However, it didn’t quite work for me and I moved on.
Nowadays, I’m a little more knowledgeable and discerning.
It is a very fine car.
With the rise of the ‘preservation class’ at concours and the realisation of the value of an un-messed, un-restored car I think this could be a wise buy.
If only it was RHD I’d be all over it.... oh, blimey, it is. :shock: :lol:

Good luck with the sale. :)

No, I can completely deny that Larry gave me any money. Or Zymol or (oh, alright then :roll: Lazza said he'd detail the RS :shock:) :lol:

Helen wrote:putting your car up for sale just to make mine look bad
No - I've been meaning to for months but been much too busy with work. Now I really had to get it done.

Your car is WONDERFUL - remember I nearly bought it when Max first recovered / discovered it :wink: In fact, after Max I think I'm the first person on here to drive it :shock:

LYV and LOF are totally different cars in so many ways - yours will find a good home - although I think you're selling for the wrong reasons :-) (ok, Larry, I'll be having that fiver now :lol:)

P

ps: seriously - don't sell LOF - you'll regret it :-)

Out if interest, do we know the whereabouts of the other two cars from that September delivery? LYV 9D & LYV 11D :?:

Are they accounted for :?:

They would appear to have gone to the great rust heap in the sky :cry:

Gorgeous car Philip!!!!

I honestly think this is way underpriced. If someone is after a RHD 67S then this is the biggest bargain Porsche I've seen this year so far...

If things were different.... :cry:

A car to enjoy for years and investment BOMBPROOF

Lyvvie was the first 911 I ever drove... and thinking about it, she was the first Porsche I ever drove. :) I remember driving along and being mesmerised by the front wings and how bulbous they seemed compared to any other car I`d ever driven.

I also remember Phil saying (shouting) `Keep the revs up, you`ve got to keep the revs up` and `Don`t worry, don`t be nervous she`s just a car` :shock: The very fact he called her a she suggested otherwise. :lol:

A beautiful, seemingly delicate car, with the heart of a lion. Good luck with the sale Phil. You..... and this car have a lot to answer for. :lol:

Regards, Mike.

It is a really beautiful car. Even in pictures it seems delicate and precise, just like an early 911 should be. I hope it finds a really good home!
