DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Evening everyone,

Just joined up so thought I'd introduce myself.

Just acquired my new love....in the shape of a lime green 88 911 backdated to a 74 Carrera.

You could say it's a tad on the loud side, not just in colour, but vocally also

Came from a 997 GT3 so it's a bit of a change.....but I absolutely love it. Getting far more enjoyment than I ever did on the road in the GT.

So much more fun at lower speeds, I can actually get to its limits on the road at sensible speeds rather than just setting into a corner and finding endless grip.

Previously had a 993 C4S with a TTP Turbo conversion running at 450bhp, a TVR T350C, Boxster S, Lotus Elise 111s and a few more 'normal' cars.

Completely into Porsche now, can't see past 911's, for some reason......they just 'get to you'!

Anyhow, going to LM Classic in a few weeks (after getting married next weekend), so looking forward to meeting a few like minded people over there.

Cheers!

Welcome aboard, cool looking car and location!

Welcome! Lovely looking car and cool colour

Super cool car. The best colour! Like the sound of the 993 in your past too!

Welcome, that's a great looking car. I assume it's the Tuthill-built one on Jenvey throttle bodies?

Welcome, lovely car ......you'll find one or two of us at CLM

Thanks for the welcome!

Yes, it's the Tuthill car, absolutely amazing spec and quality right throughout the car. Drives superbly, sounds amazing - love it!

A few more photos

Really great looking car.

Welcome to DDK and your 911 looks great. Love the way the colour really pops in this pic among all the grey, more than the flouro jackets!

Oi! Get 'off my grass!

Lovely colour, welcome!

Beautiful car - such an iconic colour, enjoy!

Thanks for the comments again

I'm sure everyone on here is into engines....and engineering.....so here's a few detail pics....






And an interior shot


Only had the car for about 6 weeks, covered about 1000 miles, two road trips and out every weekend with my better half and the kids in the back.

Old school, most definitely rules

Gosh, it is very green, ain't it?

Welcome to the forum - I remember reading about your car in one of the mags - looks nice.
