Gavn Posted 4August, 2017 Report Share Posted 4August, 2017 I'm a fan and about to embark on my own build with all the repro 914/6 parts arriving in a container end of the month (less P motor at this stage). A lot of money for this one though but appears well set upHere's a nice yarn about a local guy doing exactly that - holiday in Europe and return with a Carrera 3.0.http://911carrera3.com/article-from-wheels-magazine/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 4August, 2017 Report Share Posted 4August, 2017 I doubt tourist delivery would have much of an effect on rust. No more than one drive along the great ocean road on a rainy day. I also don't think that back in the day you had to wait 12 months. I think it was 3 months which was reasonable for tourist delivery.shame about the wing on that c3 though. The original is hard to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 4August, 2017 Report Share Posted 4August, 2017 shame about the wing on that c3 though. The original is hard to replace. Probably got it stashed at the back of the garage as a way to make some more coin ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 4August, 2017 Report Share Posted 4August, 2017 Ok that article says 15 months but that was to avoid duties (98%!)so technically I think you could bring it in sooner but you'd have to pay duties.Now you have to pay duties no matter how long you've had it but you're not allowed to bring it in without 12 months ownership.

Gavn Posted 4August, 2017 Report Share Posted 4August, 2017 I'm not so sure it's the wrong wing....there are few different wings that came with the C3.0's & I seem to recall the solid black number being one of them. There has been a fair amount of discussion on a UK impact bumper forum around wings and there are definitely a range out there that seem to have arrived with the cars. I know there are non genuine numbers (mine has an sc wing on it) but that grill pattern on the red one looks correct to me....lets see what others think.

Coastr Posted 4August, 2017 Report Share Posted 4August, 2017 It might well be factory issue or dealer fitted.'wrong' as in not the good looking whale tail as fitted to c3 and 3.0 turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre Posted 4August, 2017 Report Share Posted 4August, 2017 I'm not so sure it's the wrong wing....there are few different wings that came with the C3.0's & I seem to recall the solid black number being one of them.

I know there are non genuine numbers (mine has an sc wing on it) but that grill pattern on the red one looks correct to me....lets see what others think. I'm not ssure there's such a thing as a correct c3.0 wing. There's plenty of examples of incorrect wings. A sales brochure or options list from the period might answer the question, but they would differ from the UK to Aust. There are quite a few release reviews on line and most of the cars in these reviews dont have tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 4August, 2017 Report Share Posted 4August, 2017 Looks like the original purchaser got lost on the way to the Jaguar dealership...written off for 'malicious interior damage'....someone couldn't take the wood grain anymore and destroyed it?

Peter M Posted 4August, 2017 Report Share Posted 4August, 2017 Looks like the original purchaser got lost on the way to the Jaguar dealership...Might be the reason it was subject to a "malicious interior fire"?It probably wouldn't be too difficult nor expensive to remove the wood panelling if you're also happy to live with the repairable write off smirch.
