What's a 1981 flat nose 911 turbo worth??
£170k for a concourse example.http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C776931
Original "911 HUL" Porsche press car coming up at Silverstone soon. I'm guessing it'll make a lot more than the £100 - £120k estimate.

Seeing as it's from hexagon, it'll be relisted as 250k soonhttp://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C776931

Our family of five went all the way to the South Of France in one of those 40 years ago
when are you due back.......?
Hence the lack of further comment from Gunk
And I bet it took ages to get it up on all 4 ramps, not just because the ramps are facing each other
but due to the front spoiler being low.
I had my Escort Cosworth on ramps like that, stops it from rolling off and security reasons.
I would drive on forwards, using home made wooden "pre ramps" to prevent tearing off the front end.
Then use a trolley jack to get the rear up.

The UK market factory flat nosed cars had little additional sidelights next to the indicator lenses so that the sidelights could be illuminated without the headlights popping up, so this definitely isn't an original flatnose. There were many genuine Turbo cars converted and some with the additional 30bhp conversions too, however this doesn't look like a wide arched car, so it probably isn't even a Turbo.
You're right. The DVLA says the spotted one is a 3 litre (i.e. non-turbo for 1981), whereas THE911Y is 3.3 litre, so a turbo.
From memory, Porsche UK really only marketed the flatnose towards the end of that 911 era. They called it the 911 Turbo LE and I think it had 330bhp (up from 300bhp for a 930) and a 5 speed box. There was also a half-way house: the 911 Turbo SE with normal lights but flatnose vented rear arches and I think also 330bhp and 5 gears. This is all from my grey matter, so might be wrong!

I remember first seeing it when the old cinema building was next door ('been flats there for about fifteen years now!)Dapster said:

Possibly a Dage Sport conversion from the '80s
