Just thought you might like to know that today Monday 23rd October 2012 I am celebrating having owned my early 911S for thirty years. During which time I have driven it nearly 192000 miles of its total of 256000 miles, at an approximate average of about 20 mpg which means the original little fuel pump has moved at least 9600 gallons of various petrols (thats 43500 litres) The car has let me down, (that is when I have needed outside help to move it) only twice, not including two punctures. The engine and gearbox were rebuilt for the first time at about 240000 miles and are currently running well. Just for your interest the first tank of fuel I bought for it in 1982 was priced at £0.389 / litre, I filled it up again today and paid £1.389 / litre that is up by £1 per litre which is an increase of 357% in 30 years. Incidentally the car took Jo and I around Europe this Summer with a few friends in their Porsche's, including driving the Stelvio.
Has anyone else a similar story to tell, lets hear about your experiences with these old cars?
