Hello forum,

Since 2000 I have worked my way through a number of 911’s namely two 964’s, one 993, three 996’s, a 997 and most recently a backdated 1988 Carrera.
I now fancy an early 912 which is new territory to me.
Am I mad?
Probable budget for purchase is £45K with an annual service/repair budget of £2K.
I have seen some decent examples on carsandclassic but really want the advice of 912 owners who may talk me out of it. I did spot some posts from Dinkel and wondered if he ever took the plunge?
Cheers,
Kipster

Thank you for your message. Nice car you have there but it is not the spec I am looking for.

https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1227021

The car in the link ticks all my boxes but the price is a bit optimistic maybe? I am willing to stretch a little but unsure if this is worth it...….
If you know of cars currently not advertised but might be soon then please let me know.

Much appreciated!

That looks lovely.... great little machine to tootle around in..

Get it bought before someone else does...
I should have listened......was going to view the car tomorrow but the seller just text me to say the car has now been sold.....bugger.
So the search is back on for a Bahama yellow or tangerine car with steel wheels sub £50K.
Help!
