Potential New 911 (old) Owner

[hoganscrogan]

Hello all - my younger brother is currently of the mind to get himself an older 911.
Model he would be after would be from around the early 70's before they put the big bumpers on (similar to the Yellow car for sale on this site).
I agree heartily with his choice but was wondering if anyone had some useful advice on the following.

* Galvanised bodies? When was this started

* Reliability - starts first time etc.

* Servicing (in Leeds) recommend anyone?

* Models? Which to go for.

* Drivability - easy to live with?

Thanks for any advice you may give.
