Old Pokers 70's style

[S1XXR]

I love old 911's too. I would to find a dusty old 2.7RS to adopt. Timeless style

Tower Porsche in London are good for early models. You can pick a knackered old one, give them fifteen grand and they will restore it for you.

TBH, having seem the state of their premises and those of the guy that I know they have used for paintwork (the other side of Tower Bridge Road) I'd rather give the car and £15k to someone else....just my personal opinion, mind

I've spent the weekend fiddling with a "plunger pump" MFI Bosch fuel injection pump out of an early 911 S and I'll say this for the later SC K Jetronic cars, K Jetronic is a hell of alot easier to set up and pretty much looks after itself. It's far more robust.
Trying to calibrate the MFI fueling rack to he throttle position-Sheesh!

Thanks Jeff, I have those already.
The MFI does allow the use of wild cams, open trumpets and injects at quite high pressure (18-23 bar?). What a great system!

I haven't consciously been monitoring prices but seem to recall someone (Ken Coad???) asking circa £20k for their car.

went for £23k i think sold very quickly (i was too late) - the guy then went out and bought a gold 993 (gold!?)

The car was a very nice replica hence the low price.

i was considering trading the 993 in for a older 911 circa 1972-3 but prices are silly and fear of the tin worm scares me no end :-(
