NOS - New Old Spectator
Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2016 3:28 pm
Hello fellow DDKers!
I have been lurking on this site for a long time, but I just realized that I never registered. I have been quite active on Porschemania in Italy (I am Italian, but I live in Dubai and am about to move to Ghana) for over 10 years. I have also read and written on the Early 911S Registry for a long time and I always found interesting info and pictures on DDK, although I never wrote a single post. I love the British attitude over classic cars. If it were not for your passion and magazines a lot of the world heritage would have been lost.
I am a Porsche fan since I was child, just after I had a chance of sitting on one of those baby seats in the back of a viper green 2.2 or 2.4 (what did I know then?) targa. It was love at first sight. My first Porsche was in 1990, a toaster, made by Siemens in gray metallic, gift of a German friend. My first Porsche car was a 928 GT in 1999. Then followed a 944 turbo cabriolet in 2003, a 911 2.2S and a 993 cabriolet in 2005, a 997 carrera s in 2012 and just recently a Cayenne Turbo S. I never had more than three of them at the same time though…
I am now in the phase of having to sell my 911 2.2S and thought of making it known to users of this great forum as well. I am confident that if somebody is looking for a great 911S, mine can be a very good option. However, it is not polite to come here and just put a car for sale. So I also thought I might offer something more useful for the general users of this forum and therefore I am posting a link to a number of pictures I put together to collect details of original 2.2 cars. Here it is

The pictures have taken from many sources, including DDK, but I made the effort of putting together what I considered to be correct for 2.2 non-Karmann cars, mostly to have a guidance for myself and my bodywork guys or mechanics in taking care of my car. I hope it can be useful to somebody restoring their 911.
Thank you for the hospitality.
