polorot Posted 27February, 2013 Report Share Posted 27February, 2013 Interesting reading. Well I found it a little difficult driving it to CEVA this afternoon. Sad to see it go- but happy its off to a good home. It is a fantastic car, and for the time I owned it, loved driving it. Very different to my 65 911, more a cruiser - good to drive and not worry so much about where and when you park it. As for Gum tree........ I was not desperate to sell. Thought I would start there and move on to car sales if need be. I received no calls the first week after listing. Then 3 or 4 calls a day. There is certainly interest in the 912's. Steve was the first to look at the car. I had offers sight unseen for 15k from a melbourne lawyer, and then there was the Brisbane Canadian who did the deal for $17K but couldn't quite get to the bank..........3 days in a row...... to pay a deposit on the car. If I had more garage space, I would have kept it............ Love driving a left hooker also. Its a bit of a novelty. Anyway Steve, enjoy the car and I look forward to your updates.

Regards John Orchard Your little car has certainly gone to a good home and a good bloke that is never too shy to lend a hand to people on this fine forum. As for Gumtree - why not advertise it for free, especially if you aren't in a hurry to sell. On various fora, a few people found the advert for your car and were pointing it out to people all over the world. I think that is great Anyways, nice to see you pop in and say hi John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasserkuhl Posted 26March, 2013 Report Share Posted 26March, 2013 from mahag? Mahag Autohaus, not sure on that detail. Porsche just advised that it was delivered new in Munich in July 1966, Built April 1966 with 5 Speed, Chrome Wheels, Clock and outside temperature gauge as options. Numbers all match as well. I suspect it was sold to an american serviceman and taken to the states when he/she returned home as it now has a MPH Speedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
