Hi helen, what would one be expected to pay , if a car like yours were to become availible?

difficult question to answer as there as so many veriables with these cars.but as a rough guide you can expect to pay around £30k for a reasonable one and up to about £45k for a mint RHD SWB 911S. and i've seen some advertised for more.


theres a really beautiful RHD signal orange 911t for sale on DDK at the moment for about £26k [8D]

Nice one, Helen. An over-rider stopper story ! Years ago, at a yearly PCGB meet ( Cambridge 1986, that dates me ! ) I stopped to chat to a member preparing a pretty silver Earlybird for Concours entry. I noticed an absent blanking plug on an over-rider and
remarked on possible loss of marks. He confessed that he could not get one in time. I offered to lend him one of mine, offer gratefully
accepted. Moments later, I saw a missing internal door lock button ! Same comment and reply, and offer, and acceptance !
Damn me if he didn't get 2nd in Class ! For me and my wife, a nice lunch with a bottle or two followed !
So two bits of my '73 Targa have appeared in a prize-winning capacity, at a major Concours. Such is fame.
Good luck. I still have the Targa ( with bits ), going like a train at 114K. Colin Palmer

one great thing about these cars is if they are looked after they just go on and on. the more they are ued the better they get [8D]

I saw this orange blur on my way home this afternoon - sounded nice as it went by on the way towards Kegworth. (Though you really ought to put your lights on when its dull and rainy - almost didn't see you). Hope the car is going well.

Orange blur, Kegworth? That must be Jason in his orange RSRish?

will do, we will be on show at the NEC classic car show 14th-16th Nov. then down to Goodwood for a track day [8D]. then she will have earned a refebishmnt of the wheels, some new tyres and maybe have some driving lights & some fog lights fitted.


shes done under 60k miles from new. (and i've done nearly 5k this year) so i worry i am devaluing her but. what the hell, these cars were made for using and enjoying.

 

[nineoneone]

Well mine is at 99,000 [] after doing 5k in it too this year, so you're doing ok. It's a shame its going to hit 100,000 but what can you do! Its been to Stuttgart (1500 miles in 4 days) and the Le Mans Classic. They need driving to keep them sweet. Perhaps I'll see your car at the show!

 

[nineoneone]

here it is!

 

[nineoneone]
