I had no appetite for another old car, but this has caught my eye. Any thoughts?

Mine is not an educated eye, however I saw the ad the other day and thought it looked bloody ace.

That looks super.

The only thing I question is the location of the SC badge...but, from memory, the engine covers are drilled for the badges on the SCs (I may be wrong) so this could be one that originally had a spoiler. If I'm wrong, then it's a *really* easy fix!

Might be worth asking some opinion on www.impactbumpers.com

SC badge is definitely too low but easily moved. Does cool good.

Get it checked by an expert.

The interior is why I like it! 70's style baby!

The interior is correct so in that respect looks perfect.

The rear badge is too low for a non spoiler car, but may have been in the correct place when a spoiler was fitted.

AFAIK a Sport model would have front fogs, a non-sport would have cookie cutter wheels - this car has no fogs but Fuchs. The passenger door should fit better too, but it's not expensive and does look lovely.

I kinda like it too...

But...those living room speakers on the rear shelf surely can't be original?!

(993s are my thing - I nothing about these "old timers")

Looks tidy, lovely colour combo. It's lost its sill covers but they are easy to source. The rear speakers are very period but personally I'd remove them.

Overall it looks very good and is a nice unusual SC.....I love it!

Bonnet fit not great, but that may just be due to poorly adjusted stops.

Looks on the face of it a nice car with the normal body issues sorted for the new owner. I'd be tempted if a third car was a viable proposition

Are you sure about the fogs? I have an 82 911sc Sport with Fuchs and spoiler etc but no front fog lights. I thought these were introduced with the 3.2 but I may be wrong!!

Hmmmmm, I believe you are right. Pretty sure they came as standard with the 3.2 also. Could be wrong though, I usually am smile

I've decided not to pursue this one - nothing to do with the car, more because the timing is bad. But it is still for sale if anyone is interested.
