Down in Yorkshire a few weeks ago when I by chance came across this Porsche.




I made an enquiry and the chap said the owner still lived there , I don't know if it's for sale or even worth restoring.

Anyone seen it before ?

That has been sat there a LONG time! Re commissioning might prove painful and expensive.

Its a breaker.

Where in Yorkshire is it and any idea of age?

Always looking for decent parts cars to keep spares for the rally car wink

Thanks Buster. Read and replied.

Molly - good eyes, it's a 1990. Sadly way too young for the kind of parts I need for mine!

Is that a wheel clamp on the rear wheel?

You might be surprised how much better it looks with a good clean. It's obviously been static for quite some time but the wheel clamp would suggest someone felt it was worth securing and therefore hopefully felt it was worth looking after too. See if you can get the owner to let you have a look under the hood and inside. It might look surprisingly good.
