I know that the paint job is a bit marmite but it looks good value at $110k

£85,000 + getting it here for a 912 with a 911 motor doesn’t feel like great value to me.

Unless I’m missing something. Which I often do.

I quite like the paint, but if it was me I would go to http://revival-cars.com/ buy one and hot rod it to my own spec, assuming resale is no importance. But as Sam says probably I have missed the point. Roy

D'oh - shows what a well written advert it is - didn't even notice it was a 912!

Not so good.

I like a lot about it. Not so keen on the price

Don is an aggressive dealer in my opinion. He gets lots of cars with nice history but they are always top-dollar and his ads make you feel like you are never going to be a valued customer, just another contributor to his retirement pot.

Agreed. The wording of the ad is clearly designed to avoid saying it’s a 912, presumably hoping people don’t notice, but to hint at it so he can deny being deliberately misleading. I’d be terrified of buying anything from someone who works like that.

Those wheels, just the best.
Pity nobody is re making them.
Personally, I like the look.
