A teaser of the last parts on the 2.8 to be back to full factory spec,then back out on the road/track.
Seller popped up his invoice, circa £100k to backdate a '86 3.2 (in 2016 with Rennsport)
(not clear if that included the original car)
Bidding already over £80k (inc fees) which is not a bad result after 9 years of ownership.

This 220K miles car would have either been scrapped or driven to death. I reckon I saved it.Knowing PH you tw@ts will no doubt say I f~ck it. Do I care? Nah, the car was revived and looks pretty good, no matter what the haters say. Worth a lot more than what I spent but hey ho......
Not me, looks fabulous. I bet you miss it. The bearded, agnoid weirdos will always complain about a bonnet sticker or the wrong shade of miessen blue instead of actually driving the dam thing. Almost all will wax lyrical about originality whilst being petrified of depreciation.
Mine was also heading for scrap. It would not be here today if I hadn't rescued it.

Ok, not perfect, but at 84k euro also not crazy money, somehow it has some good over it... is it the color? the stance? the rear deck lid vents? or the 3.4 engine and 279ps or the bucketseats and sport steering wheel?
anyhow, some pictures

From the Car and Classic newsletter:
"The 911 took the top spot as the most sold model on Car & Classic in May—a testament to its enduring appeal among enthusiasts. What’s particularly interesting this month is the growing demand for cars with a strong sense of originality: models that have kept their factory specifications and show careful ownership over the years.
Buyers seem to be placing more value on well-documented histories and cars that have been preserved rather than heavily modified."

I don't have any issues with that other than some minor details - the shark fin doesn't fit or suit the narrow body cars, I always hated the black headlight surrounds, even when it's correct to the car, and the bonnet vents, er... no.anyhow, some pictures

Agree re black light surrounds, but I can't see a shark fin or bonnet vents....Discombobulate said:

Agree re black light surrounds, but I can't see a shark fin or bonnet vents....Engine cover vents are redolent of the thinking behind the 993 2S items :
I never really got the concept of making a feature of shark fins on 911 rear quarter panels. The Yanks seemed to be instrumental in doing so. Personally I think they ruin the lines of the rear quarter panel on any 911, but even more so on a narrowbody car.

agree on some colors and 'narrow' body cars, but they do protect the lacquer of the wider rear wings against stones/mud/zand, road stuf, so I guess thats why they did that, and a bit of tradition?? accent it more?
those days you can protect them with the clear stuff, but... I can understand why a lot of Porsche's ala Turbo bodied cars have it, specially the older ones.
they are sort of stone guards of the 'past' classics.
