New member from Milton Keynes

Post by lewy 912 »

Good afternoon.

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I've just registered after speaking to a couple of your members at a campsite at Silverstone last weekend (sorry terrible with names) we were there for the Silverstone Classics and besides the weather it was a great weekend, some amazing cars there both racing and there from the various owners clubs (a huge turn out from Porsche I must add!) My back ground is with VW's, buses mainly, i've owened an early bay and 2 split screens, I currently own a 1966 13 deluxe that i've bought in from California and have been doing up over the last 3 years, it's now pretty much where I want it. My wife and I have 2 young children 6 + 3 yrs and they love spending time in it and camping out.

I've been in the market for a 912 or perhaps a 911 if the budget stretches that far for a good few months now and the two guys I met at Silverstone suggested I post something on here, they said that it was a great forum for enthusiasts and that I may be given some help as to any currently for sale. I not really looking for a project but something usable and looked after, not concourse.

Anyway let me know if there's anything out there and I'll keep you updated on my search.
thanks Dave

Dave,
welcome to the forum.
Have you seen the 912 for sale on here by ‘9treffen’ He has his own business and seems a very genuine guy, who is setting up a hire business of ely 911’s in Mallorca

may be worth giving him a PM about the car if it is what you are looking for?

Welcome.

Angus at Greatworth (near Silverstone) has (had?) a 912 shell he has been trying to sell for a while. Max at Revival Cars is a very good person to speak to. Also have a look at the 912 BBS forum for people selling their cars in states.

Lots of us are often searching the various selling sites so we should be able to help.
