Thoughts on this early 911

[JDH1]

Been hankering after an early 911 for a long time and have sat back as prices have risen. Really like the pre-impact bumper look and came across this:

Bit of a cheat in that it's a 1975 car that's been given an expensive makeover. Looks lovely though and a lot cheaper than the real thing.

I know very little about these cars though. Any thoughts, opinions or information invited.

I see which was opinion is heading. It's a shame because finding an original car isn't easy. There seem to be a lot of these 'rewind' cars around at the moment but not much else. Take out the lhd (which I don't want) the tatty, and the silly priced ones at there's nowt left.

Many thnaks for all the replies. I know a G50 3.2 is agreat car but I've had one of those, and learned from experience not to go back. Take on board the comments about LHD. I'll think about that. Happy to pay more for the right car, but not found it yet.

I bought a Supersport from Paul Stephens a few years ago.
He was very good to be honest and did everything he said he was going to do.
At this time he was just starting out with the back dating concept using a donor SC/3.2 or 964 & he explained and took me through the whole process over a pint if i recall.
The process is very thorough and the attention to detail outstanding.
It gives a perspective buyer the opportunity to have the old school look albeit modern day driving experience relatively speaking.
I am with the majority though when it comes to the commercials i couldn't justify parting with that sort of money, when lets face it you could get an original car 964/3.2 for late teens/20k lets say and maybe throw a few quid at it here and there.
This is just my opinion and i wouldn't condone anybody who has and will continue to buy these PS cars and Paul has obviously done well out of it.

I. Don't think this one is a Paul Stephens one anyway. The ad mentions another company. Perhaps better to get a backdate based on a 3.2 Cabrera if go that route...or could have your gt2 for less money. It would be my third but it's a bit moth-to-flame with those for me.
