If they want to hit the £240k mark best fit the correct front and rear bumper trims.

So
Do you splurge 1/4 mill on restored or original?


First Twin: LHD. Sold new in the U.S.A. by Nick Cilibert Motors of Reading, Pennsylvania to a gentleman from Dallas, Texas in August 1967. The first owner regularly used the car for club events, like the Porsche Parade in California in 1969. He passed the car on to an acquaintance from Florida in 1979, who kept it until 2014, when it was sold to its current owner. The car is absolutely unique in that it’s completely original and unrestored. It still carries its original factory paint in very good condition. Slightly reduced in thickness through polishing over the years and with some touched-in stone chips but with an absolutely amazing patina. Likewise the interior is completely original. Perfect factory panel gaps. Naturally the car has matching numbers and comes with documentation, including Porsche Classic Certificate and service book. Its last owner regularly used and serviced the car, thus it was mechanically always in good condition. The current owner had the carburettors cleaned and adjusted together with the ignition, changed some of the rubber fuel hoses, rebuilt the brakes and part of the suspension and performed a good service. Other than that, the car needed nothing. It recently participated in a Porsche alpine tour of 1,000 miles without any issues. Probably unique and unrepeatable in the world, this early example of the highly desirable 911 S is now looking for a new home. Estimate £220,000 - 250,000.

Second Twin: LHD. Sold new in the U.S.A. and delivered to Texas on 12th May, 1967. Its second owner from Tallahassee bought the car in 1979 and it remained part of a private collection until 2015. The current owner decided to have the car completely restored and it just underwent a 1,500 hours, fully documented nut and bolt restoration to better than new condition, including bodywork, cathodic dip coating bath for maximum rust protection, repaint using Glasurit products as close to the original specification as possible, all mechanic components, electrics and interior by a renowned German Porsche expert. Estimate: £220,000 - 240,000.

I know you can't decide Tosh so what not just get both and keep them together. Shame to split twins up.

There seem to be a lot of optimistic numbers in that auction, including £50k for a Karmann Ghia...

You're right
That's exactly what I shall do. Now where's that 1/2 a million quid I had the other day?

[Berny]

Don't you remember you lost it at Cheltenham!

[visualfx]

I see neither of the 67's seem to have sold

[impmad2000]

The 1909 Renault AX did sell, but not at the fall of the hammer.

Mrs Ridg had her eye on the ax. She thought it would go well with the new Zoe!!
