This caught my eye, anyone know anything about this particular car?

for those interested the car made £40k plus fees so £45k.

my view differs, i think it did very well indeed.

Very sensible comments. I really wanted to own it but the chap who bought it really wasn't for being outbid. I redently sold a LHD 69 911T and really enjoyed it and fancied a RHD one. out of curiosity what do you think would need to be spent to make it a 'nice' car?

I had a good look round the car at the viewing last Friday and although it was a might tatty and had corrosion in the usual spots, it looked 'honest'; no real attempt to hide anything, all the bits were there - fuse box cover etc, and no shunts from what I could see - panels looked original etc .... Obviously, you'd be spending a lot to get it immaculate, but if you felt like it you could drive it around for a few years yet, spend very little, and it wouldn't let you down in the meantime.
Good car

Does he want to sell it?? To go back to where this started I'm looking for a good RHD car.

A friend of mine just had a '71 2.2T fully restored and reckons he spent £50k over 12 months. Back to basics job and nearly £20k went on the engine, gearbox and ancillaries.

surely after all this exposure someone must be desperate to sell a tidy 911T to a good home.....

will do and thanks

good cars tend to stay with their owners ... but if you are seriously looking for an early 911 get over onto DDK, introduce yourself and start asking if anyone knows of anything coming up .
