Those of us in Victoria all know this car so what's the story? Something new on the way? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2010-porsche-911-gt3-997-series-ii-manual-my10/SSE-AD-5966464/?utm_campaign=search-alert&utm_source=notification-center&utm_medium=email Hah yes that's my car, I am looking at another 997.2 variant that is available to me privately, however I am absolutely happy with this car and wouldn't be disappointed to make it a keeper.

If it is a repro; where can I get one (or two)!!! The VIN might confirm the story, but was there ever an original blue SC colour like that?

Without checking maybe that's an original colour of that year but It doesn't look like an original colour, just a strong gut feel, nothing more....

OZ930 Posted 13April, 2019 Report Share Posted 13April, 2019 There were provisions in NSW to get replacement compliance plate through The RTA ( now RMS). Only ones I have seen are an engraved black and white plastic, like name badges and door signs, but there could be other options. Whether this is still offered, I don’t know and I couldn’t find anything on their web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious myself about its origin as well, but the detail on the plate has spiked my curiosity even more. Who would include the DR. ING. h.c.F. PORSCHE AG without some sort of formal knowledge. Another detail from the plate is that the car we are discussing is also a 1978 model year car, the forth digit number 8 in the vin determines the model year.

The plate may be a Tourist Delivery thing? Might explain the early build date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 14April, 2019 Report Share Posted 14April, 2019 The time has come. My Tangy 68 912 LHD is for sale. Just back from Ron Goodman getting a couple of cosmetic bits sorted I need Tangy to go...because I have another 912 project on the way. In the last 5 years I have owned a 997tt, 964 4, 2x x 930's and this plucky 912 is by far the most fun. All the long hood looks, at a third of the price. It has been my daily drive for much of the year I have owned it. If I wasn't already married this car could have started many new relationships the number of times I have been pulled over for a chat (largely middle aged men naturally). US Car Imported 2017 Spent at least $12k with AH taking it to a good driver Tangerine/black interior Interior in good condition - some small cracking on dash Recent engine rebuild Comes with an original (not to the car) set of fuchs lots of receipts - original books missing asking $75k ono email tom@juicydesign.com.au with generous offers, or if you want more info/pictures.

The plate may be a Tourist Delivery thing? Might explain the early build date. I had a look at Simon's Porsche 911SC Site which has a couple of Owner Registered cars with a close VIN to the advertised car & that are here in OZ, and they both have checkered early histories. One could have been a Tourist delivery and the other was originally a 'grey import' to USA. So you are probably right: http://www.adelgigs.com/911scregistry.shtml Another odd thing concerns the VIN on the real original plate example. It has a "7 " in it to denote 1977. I thought all SCs had 1978 ( "8" ) in their VIN numbers even though some were built in 77. Maybe in the early days for these expensive cars, there was a bit of forward dating to increase value? Off course now its the other way round!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A Posted 15April, 2019 Report Share Posted 15April, 2019 It all makes sense now, we saw a guy using the roof of a 930 Turbo as a surf board down on the Goldy a few weeks ago. Thought it was a bit odd, but now the rest of the story is revealed 😂😂😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always suggested to family and friends that when selling a car, put it on the side of the road with a for sale sign ... People don't always know that they're looking for something until they see it. Social media is the same ... comes up in your news feed (or whatever it is) and it looks interesting ... the ultimate impulse purchase .. firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
