Hi Pete,
Yep 3years I'm over the moon with it, fanbloodytastic!!!
In all honesty it was waiting for parts this and that and wanted it to be perfect, have plenty other cars to play with so no rush.
I'm pleased I own it now as would be brutal to try and find another in today's crazy market, hope to catch up at some show one day with yours or we should get all 3.6's together one day
Cheers
T

Great to see minty back on the road, must have been a truely epic build. Don't suppose there's a thread on it anywhere is there? What's happening at beamish?

Yep LOR it was an epic build that's for sure.
There is Porsche show at Beamish Museum in August I think which is fairly local, it's normally a nice turnout with some interesting cars, not normally much on Porschewise in NE unfortunately

Hi Marky,
Yep loving it such a nice looking car. Funny thing is your red 964 3.3T inspired me to buy it as saw yours in garage at Darlington and wanted one so badly. I could not afford the £60k they were asking for 3.6's at the time so bought Minty.
It's taken 3yrs but its about 99.5% finished.
Funny thing is it was in JCT Leeds a few weeks back for some work and I had some offers by and large I could of walked out with keys for this or the white 991GT3 they had for sale, guess what but don't tell Apollo lol ( always pick up a GT3 down the line)
If you make it to Beamish I will take it there you always welcome to have a poke around
Mornin', I never realised you were up north. I'll probably be at the Beamish show but I don't usually stop for long. Would love to see it in the metal though, so I look forward to that.

Pleased you've had some good offers already. It's always nice to know you can get out of something relatively easily if you wanted. Never sell that car though. Ever! smile

Bloody lovely mate !
Thanks Tony.

Finally in something with a bit of character.

It's all your fault for bringing your 'green meany' along to LM what, 3 or 4 years ago! Glad you did though as it set the ball rolling for me to go retro!

How's your new creation going? Must be almost ready?

Stunning, I wish I had bought this.

Called the dealer a few weeks ago to see if there was any chance of the buyer selling it.... shy kids get no sweets and all that....
Thanks, I was lucky to get this one IMO. It was for sale for a while and I was in two minds due to the colour...but in the flesh, it is quite something smile

Funny, when I was considering this car, I thought of you as I'd emailed you about one of your previous creations and thought you might be in for this one.

Going from a GT3 to this was a bit worrying, but it's just soooo much more fun on the road.

It's all about the sensations rather than the speed, as I'm sure you know smile

My first Porsche, a LHD '73 RS, at Zandvoort about 1990 ( so far as I remember)
Thats on an 83 plate? A replica?
IIRC that car was built by Bob Watson and came to Ireland circa 2000 ? Raced here by Ciaran Malumby.
