Advice on potential new purchase 911 2.7 viper green

[umeerw]

Dear All,

Would love to hear your thoughts on a car purchase I'm contemplating.

It's a 1973 2.7 fully restored viper green (74 model) rebuilt engine 900 miles since. Black wheels. Number 935 of the impact bumpers. American LHD. It had the 7r crankcase of the RS but runs on K Jetronic injection. Duck tail spoiler

Carrera engineering stripped the engine and sorted just about everything. The viper green glass coat spray is in perfect condition bar an irritating bird dropping on the bonnet.

The interior is in good condition , the drivers seat will need some attention and restoration , rest is ok. Wife loves the colour , it stands out , but after reading many posts the 2.7 doesn't get rave reviews here. 40k is the asking price.

The condition is superb, not an inch of rust , external bodywork is done to a very high standard. I'll check to see the warranty on the engine rebuild , apparently. Bow generates 195bhp.

It's in a private car collection (40 cars). Most ferraris. I will have to do some superficial work on interior. I'm also starting a collection so really would like one that's grows. The 2.7 has such average reviews that I'm tempted to leave it though at 37.5 k. It's very tempting. I suppose I just have to be a big boy and bite
The bullet and make a decision.

Thankyou all, intool it for a test drive and loved it, the extra bhp has def made a difference, it will sit in a collection and will appear sporadically, the finish wit regards to restore action is second to none so hard to turn down.

Thanks again!!
