I like the fact that on the COA it lists as an option: "England Equipment".

Notice plenty of bills from Autofarm and AFN too.

Rusty targas are the best drivers *ever* .

I did note that there was not a single instance where the driver came on cam, but nevermind, I'd love to have that car when I'm over in the US for 4 weeks (perhaps 6-who knows) in the summer.

One of the things to do, whilst I'm there, is burning petrol. It needs to be in a 911 (or a Merc 300 SEL 6.3) and incorporating:
A West coast to the East coast stretch
And when doing so, investigating whether I have anything to do that involves the following roads:

New Mexico US 64: four corners to clayton
Pennsylvannia US 6: The allegenny to Milford
Washington WA20: Port Townsend to Davenport
Arkansas: Arkansas 23: the Ozarks

That car sold not too long ago via an auction IIRC?

Best regards,

IIRC it was taken to the states by the person who runs a business called californian classics from bristol who import cars from the states. He took it over there as it didn't sell overhere in late 2008/early 2009 at something like £22K. see http://www.californianclassics.co.uk/docs/inventory.htm

I liked it then and still like it now. I liked the targa carerra at Paul Stephens last year too.

How could the engine have been rebuilt in 2007? Take a look at the picture of the valve covers. They must have parked this car in the bilge for its trip across the Atlantic.

There can't be too many RHD Carrera Targas in this world though.

I've seen worse after an Atlantic crossing... Or a winter in Cornwall.
