eBay 69T Light Ivory White

Post by Joelipol »

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172816841454

Located in Netherlands/Belgium at a Porsche specialist http://www.vanderpalenpors.nl/.

Did a fantastic 600 mile round trip in my T to check it out and the seller is dishonest. It's had front and rear impact damage, the front particularly bad with a chassis support rail missing completely. Both A-pillars are rotted through. It's had a forklift through the back screen and damaged the surround. The only good panels are the bonnet, inner right arch and potentially the firewall. Everything else is thin, rusted or damaged. Very far from his verbal and written description.

I had Conrad with me from Classic Porsche Surrey and he estimated panels at £30k and 400hrs at least to get right.

I've reported the seller and eBay also tell me he is bidding on his own stuff.

I'd steer clear. Fun round trip though!

It looks like a dog and the sellers description doesn't paint a pretty picture of it. I'm not sure what you were expecting but it seems pretty clear to me it's an old nail.

Yep - it looked like a dog and the seller said it needed work - that's what I was expecting. To be specific, floors, sills, quarters, wings, battery boxes. Alot.

However what we got was that plus roof, A-pillars, rear cross member, inner sills, front cross member - I mean the list just went on. The pictures don't show any damage and the body has been brushed white to hide the rust in the a-pillars. Frankly, the statement that panels are cheap was a blatant lie as was his assertion the body was accident free and besides the sills and floor pretty solid.

Worth going to see cars before you buy that's for sure!
