As above, this 500HC was my first one. Bought it needing some tlc in August 07. I think it was by then a 5 owner car. Had it a week and took it down to the Black Forest for an unforgettable drive. And then back to Nth Germany in it six weeks later !
It was a very quick one, i never found out if it had been tweaked ( apart from being de catted ) but nothing i came up against ( mainly tweaked Impretzas ) could touch it in a straight line. Once i had been through it, It drove really well.
New Bilsteins, had the rack and U/Js replaced, etc etc. Stupidly sold it in circa April 08 to a German guy called Dennis Knauft, who was then working for Porsche in quality control. It was a really good car ( unlike the 88 3.2 Careera that came next ?? )
Often wonder what has happened to it !
