Hot on the heels of the blue Mustang which had only done a 100 miles or so since rebuild.

The show was repeated last week - I think the valuation was £22k?

There was a previous repair round the bulkhead, but I think they rectified it.

It's far from being original or even an authentic restoration, and the colour is a bit dubious (Signal Orange allegedly?).

I think it's a sub £10k car.

Should have made it into a straight track hack .... I recall it was put up as a phone prize.

That could be a cheap fun car for someone but care obviously required!

I can understand why there's no mention of the show. It was a seriously awful build.

If I remember correctly didn't the 911 they restored on the TV program have a crap
sunroof fitted?
The one featured here for sale on eBay doesn't have a sunroof.

I half-watched the repeat - no sunroof, but the roof was part of the poor repair I mentioned previously.

They used a lot of filler on to smooth it out.

Presume there is no service history on the 3,2 engine .... at 10K as a track hack about right.

You're thinking of the E-type from memory.

Looked round this when it was at a local garage for some TLC a few months ago and shocking is the best description. I'm no concours expert but it's was a bag of sh*t when I saw it!

Cheers

my favourite bit was when bernie instead if replacing the cap and arm, "cleaned them up" with a scre driver. haha, if they went to autofarm for parts should have ditched the front bumper and the spoiler is a disaster too. its a sub £10k 911
