D-banger Posted 11September, 2014 Report Share Posted 11September, 2014 I guess it depends on how much of a toll that 20 years of UK damp and salted roads has taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 11September, 2014 Report Share Posted 11September, 2014 Owner says no rust. I wouldn't buy a vehicle that has had 'rust removed', as in my experience if it has been found in some areas it is lurking in places unknown.

CarreraG50 Posted 11September, 2014 Report Share Posted 11September, 2014 Yeah, its been around for a while, seems like a well put together car, albeit well used. However IMO seems to be priced about right, can't understand why it hasn't moved. Being a "Hotrod" non numbers etc you could have some fun with it, without upsetting the purists.

My first few attempts at fixing rusty cars ended up with reappearance within 12 months. Unless you strip it right down and blast or dip it, it's always hiding somewhere.

Considering what all that cost to do, I'd say you are right. It's even been converted from SWB to LWB. If I didn't already have too many cars, it would be a nice upgrade from mine. I'd be in the dog house big time if I bought that home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car was on eBay a couple months ago or more.... Had a cage and some other gear... Lovely looking car. It ad a buy now price of 44500 i think... Not sure what the bidding got to but it was nowhere near that. Seller has the the right thing converting it back to stock... Looks sexy as!! It's still a 912 though... Where else can you get one though? Someone should buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 12September, 2014 Report Share Posted 12September, 2014 That fact that it's a 912 means mere mortals can afford it. So ridiculous. How is it any different from a 911 with the wrong motor in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 12September, 2014 Report Share Posted 12September, 2014 The "worth" is different to the collector/investor as opposed to the classic driver. I'd be tempted by that 912>911; it's an enthusiast's car and that's what matters most to me. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarreraG50 Posted 12September, 2014 Report Share Posted 12September, 2014 Coming soon to Bowdens-: 1969 911S for $100K... NOM, but she's a smoking hot 2.3 twin plug. Colour change from ivory and also a conversion from LHD to RHD... That's why she's $100K ONO, not $200K FIRM. Comes with a current logbook and a HUGE pile of receipts. I would swap her back to LHD, leave her black and enjoy the twin plug bark... Bliss.. Scott930, ByronBayChris and andrew911 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 12September, 2014 Report Share Posted 12September, 2014 why go to the effort of swapping it back? if it's done right, just leave it and drive it. looks like a cracker of a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 12September, 2014 Report Share Posted 12September, 2014 Looks like a twin to mine, except for the interior. why go to the effort of swapping it back? if it's done right, just leave it and drive it. looks like a cracker of a car. Unless you wanted to sell it back into the LHD market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 12September, 2014 Report Share Posted 12September, 2014 horses for courses.. that would not be relevant to me in the slightest, especially if buying 'cheap' to begin with. it's hardly going to lose value, would rather be driving it not messing with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 12September, 2014 Report Share Posted 12September, 2014 why go to the effort of swapping it back? if it's done right, just leave it and drive it. looks like a cracker of a car. cause for the few who are playing the numbers game a cracking good LHD S is worth a whole lot more than 100k back in its home state but agreed a good 'driver' if you got the 100K+ for it. though for 124k you could have this http://carsales.pubcs03.carsales.com.au/private/details/porsche-911-1970-24271121 IMO the tangerine 912-11 SWB -LWB for half the money would give you just as much when behind the wheel.
