wasserkuhl Posted 21September, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 21September, 2013 I can volunteer a garage space so you don't have to look at it everyday. Call it a gumtree finders fee Sounds fair. I still can't believe some many people passed up this car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 23September, 2013 Report Share Posted 23September, 2013 Considering putting her up for sale before I get too attached to her(its already happened, truth be told) If anyone is interested, give me a PM and I can provide all her details and what I have put right in the last 7 months. Wish I did not read this... really. I would love this as a daily... my life would be complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 23September, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 23September, 2013 Wish I did not read this... really. I would love this as a daily... my life would be complete Sorry, I really do have to move it on, but I am almost finished with it. Just got an original Blaupunkt Frankfurt for it and added an iphone/ipod adaptor, new dash cover in german vinyl and to top it off new Stanless Dash trim. She's a sweetheart alright. And not too good to drive everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted 25September, 2013 Report Share Posted 25September, 2013 ^sound like me with my Speedster. It's really supposed to be on the market, but I just can't do it. I justify it by telling myself it doesn't cost very much to own. It's on historic rego at $185/year + a little in insurance. There, I just justified it again.

Same, I get the guilts on and think that I should sell them. Of course everything is for sale. I make the mistake of driving them and that really puts me off selling them. I didn't drive my 968 CS on purpose when it was for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 25September, 2013 Report Share Posted 25September, 2013 I had a ridiculously good offer for it earlier this year. I took the deposit and the bloke was collecting in Sunday morning. On the Saturday arvo I took it for one last drive. It broke my heart so much I refunded his deposit, paid for his flights and apologised profusely for wasting so much of his time. Just couldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasserkuhl Posted 26September, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 26September, 2013 I can relate to that. I say I want to sell cars, then I consider what I would replace them with. Which then leads me to keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murf Posted 27September, 2013 Report Share Posted 27September, 2013 LOL - i bought mine as a cheap run around replacing my honda - now i can't think of selling it. I think my beloved fastback would be first out the door. I feel your pain - especially when the value continues to rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 30September, 2013 Report Share Posted 30September, 2013 Cal - an original speedster I can totally understand. I'd never part with one if I had one in my garage. Well that ain't ever going to happen! My rep has only done 12000kms since construction and has the correct 356 motor. That combined with the fact that you are no longer allowed to either build them here or import them, kind of makes it fairly irreplaceable in it's own right.

wasserkuhl Posted 30November, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 30November, 2013 The 1966 912 has now been sold for full asking price. Sadly I shall miss her deeply, she helped me through a tough time. What to replace her with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Probs and an extra 30k in New 100 Bills should work. Already found another 912. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
