I had a red one - great car.

Best tune up was to replace ALL the bullet fuses for reliability and to prevent mis fires caused by fuse corrosion.

Best mod you can do to a 3.2 IMO.

Here is my old one. First thing I did was replace the lid - but kept the original for the next owner.

OP, a little bit out of London, but Ben at Finish First just south of Horsham would take proper care of your car and do a first class job.

I will. Need to sell one of my cars to get the job done A1

Here's another pic. The car is utterly superb. I had several G50's around 15-18 years ago and they weren't a patch on this.

Is that your Messerschmitt?

Does the car have a/c? If so (and if you're removing the front spoiler), you should fit the a/c evaporator protector bar; new ones are available from Porsche and are on the parts diagram (I have the number but it's on the other computer - I can look it out if required).

No a/c on my contraption but thanks for tip.

Can someone explain to a simpleton like me what 'unpainted' means.

Do you just mean never been re-painted, still as it left the factory?

Yes. Unpainted means never refinished or repaired.

Originality is lord with all collectibles.

It shows the car has been looked after and you can see what you're getting stories and all...

P50,

Is that a Hayward and Scott exhaust I see...?

I only say as it looks much like the H&S on mine:

I don't know the brand of the exhaust. Prev owner fitted it. Seems the same loudness and I have a side silence delete pipe. I'll leave it as it does the job..

Surprised no-one has mentioned Lemass Automotive...

[Big E 118]

Sussex based Precision Porsche have done some work for me in the past and were excellent. A friend owns a company that does a lot of top level restoration (not Porsche) and he uses them for all his paint, also Porsche owning friends of mine always use them and have never had a bad word to say.

Lovely car by the way OP!

[Big Raff]

I have used Lemass for my 964 in the past, he is a regular on rennlist and one i would advise for most cars to be fair. Clean work and passionate about cars (his 964 was just in 911 world) and based just past Uxbridge. www.lemass.co.uk

Lovely car btw
