The look on his face as he starts it up says it all

Good stuff, thanks.

[MauriceC2S]

Damn, I'm jealous ... but I think I'd start with a 993 and go from there ..

cheers, Maurice

Sweet isn't it Maurice, I couldn't quite understand why he would bother with the trim/becker and climate control when he also has a 993RS....I would have kept it a little purer (lighter), still the individuality is what makes these projects so special.

Guys have the utmost respect for Mr Harris and his journalistic traits, driving reports on 3 0 rs ,993 GT2 beautiful stuff ................without getting labelled as a purist i have to say if the rumours of spend here are true , suggessting a spend IRO £70K PLUS I THINK HES LOST THE PLOT!
EVRYTHING'S GONE NUTS LATELY IN SENSE OF PRICE but this is just loopy , sorry just how i see it .

Scary thing is Vic, the base car was a 2.4S...I have heard you can spend quite a few £££ getting these back to original spec, let alone super modded 3.4 litre trick suspension spec .......Still one less standard car around to help keep the stock trading high for the purists

Yes, shame he felt the need to modify one of those. I also don't really like the car to be honest - can't put my finger on it..perhaps it just needs some "Carrera" decals...

[johnny senna]

I like it. Good on him!!

[bergmeister]

How do you get these vids to play?
One way to look at it,its another 2.4s preserved and back on the road,it can always be put back to original.My 2.4s included,some have said how dare you!!to a nice 2,4s.

to the right of the embedded player wotsit, there are a couple bits of text ... I think one was "E-mail" and the other "play now" ... try clicking the "play now" one.

[bergmeister]

Thanks,i have tried all that,nothing happens when play now is pressed.

Can't say the car does it for me. However, he is clearly enjoying himself so that's all that matters.

if the project had been 993 based then that's a different story.

I think hes nuts to spend that much/ the way its been done, but its his creation. I know I'd do some irrational things to a car I was going to build myself.

As Autocar are part of Haymarket... (could be wrong here) why does Harris not contribute to PH?

[Vr6-er]

He's indulging his passion, good on him, its his cash and his car. I really like what he has achieved, in the US they sort of call this resto-mod - I love this concept.

Is there anymore on Mr Harris's green 911?
I have had a look on the autoccar website but cant navigate it too well.

I have just bought this eBay special and am looking for inspiration.....

[anonymous-user]

It looks wicked!
Why all this talk of starting with a 993? The original 911 is far cooler Think I might have started from a 911T though, not a valuable 911S. Certainly won't be modding mine anyway!

Not lost the plot, just putting his money where his head wants to be.. Why not take an iconic shape and make it a little more frisky, £70k would obviously get you alot but nothing in comparison to making your own. I take my hat off that he's doing it publicly , then again, not exactly bad press Personally I think stuff like this should be on TV.
