Al Posted 24January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 24January, 2017 Just received confirmation my 911 was in Hong Kong fom 1987 to 2004.:-)Happy with that. I now know where the little bugger has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted 24January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 24January, 2017 So.. in 2004, who were the major Porsche sellers and exporters in HK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted 26January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 26January, 2017 Further note - I pushed my Hong Kong Gov contact a little further and asked for exact dates on first and last registration and just received them. Woohoo!I'll give it a few days and ask how many owners there were there. I'm sure I'll hit a limit with what they can release but going well so far without signing forms.Still in disbelief I managed to get any info.

Carrot01 Posted 14March, 2017 Report Share Posted 14March, 2017 my 1981 911SC sport coupe that I owned in Perth in the early 2000's was a HK import.had a rust hole below the battery box/near the front torsion bar mount & also had quite a lot (missing metal/holes) near the vertical chassis stiffener pressed box sections near the rear torsion bar mounts.Lots of mud traps to attract rust.

epilot Posted 17March, 2017 Report Share Posted 17March, 2017 my 1973 2.4 E was originally delivered to HK but unusually it was exported to Norfolk Island which was apparently a tax dodge prior to import to New Zealand, i purchased the car out of NZ in 2003, it had led a pretty tough life but no more so than any other Porsche of its vintage.https://motoringconbrio.com/2013/03/07/this-is-what-911-delivery-to-norfolk-island-looked-like-back-in-1982via Bill Hallet the first NZ owner i was able to obatin all the original documentation, paperwork etc and some fabulous photos of the cars delivery to NI. The car has just turned over 100000 fully documented miles.some more readinghttp://therollingroad.blogspot.com.au/search?q=norfolk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
