sleazius Posted 10March, 2014 Report Share Posted 10March, 2014 Weltmeister number plate surround...you could do worse than to give them a call and see what they can tell you about the car. Thanks for the tip - missed that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtheo72 Posted 10March, 2014 Report Share Posted 10March, 2014 http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-1978/SSE-AD-2670171/?Cr=21&sdmvc=1 Does anyone know anything about the car above? It was for sale by a boutique/smaller dealer about 14 months ago in Sydney. I spoke to him fairly briefly on two occasions. I'm pretty sure it was listed for over $40k. The photos at the time indicated to me (overspray and colored rub down water marks on tyres) that it has had recent substantial paint/panel work. Only a bad thing for all the usual reasons. It did look fantastic with the ducktail in that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

550Spyder Posted 10March, 2014 Report Share Posted 10March, 2014 Nice looking Ferrari ........... CTS red 911 - mislisted as Dino I must confess to not being an expert on these very early Porsches and I am sure that there is some non OEM stuff there but that interior in the red CTS 911 is just stunning. There would be a lot to like about driving in that environment. withers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 10March, 2014 Report Share Posted 10March, 2014 Care to elaborate further? It's been for sale for ages and I swear I remember it being on the market last time. I've often wondered what's wrong with it. I'll take that as a no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a lot to like about driving in that environment. I dig the interior, just a shame they have put the later model door trim in as opposed to the earlier, period correct ones (leather strap). Subtle I know, the devil is in the detail - or so they say........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveT Posted 11March, 2014 Report Share Posted 11March, 2014 Hi Amanda, It looks like a great car but not sure if I'm the right owner for something so lovely. I guess that whilst I look after my cars really fastidiously maybe I don't do the little extra bits that older classics need. Maybe I just have the wrong idea about what the older classics need in terms of extras! I guess I just need to go test drive some more Porsches to work out what I really want. Anyone offering test drives? Lol. withers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronBayChris Posted 11March, 2014 Report Share Posted 11March, 2014 I think they forgot to mention UK import on this one http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1995/AGC-AD-15485915 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550Spyder Posted 11March, 2014 Report Share Posted 11March, 2014 The obvious "tell" of converted mph speedo is missing. Obviously some insider knowledge here? Not a tip fan but th car actually looks pretty good and price is cheap for a 993 aliet non vario ram. I have seen worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Tony Posted 11March, 2014 Report Share Posted 11March, 2014 I think the uk cars come with a single speaker in the door. Have seen them with different seats. Don't know if that basket handle on the deck lid was something that came on Aussie coupes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matara Posted 11March, 2014 Report Share Posted 11March, 2014 I'm not a fan of ebay listed cars, but any pointers on this one?

Ben C3.o Posted 11March, 2014 Report Share Posted 11March, 2014 I recon that car was on the paddock at the recent Newcastle all German day. I would firstly call Simon from Autowerks and ask him if he knows the car and get a price for a ppi. Then I would call the seller and ask if they would take it to Simon before you bid. Meet the seller at Simons after the PPI and Simon will take you through the issues if any. Then start bidding. From what I saw at the German day the car was as described and looked very nice. If it was a manual I'd could be tempted to scrap my own pool idea and have a bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 11March, 2014 Report Share Posted 11March, 2014 993 Targas are cool.... I vaguely remember being told to stay away from the 993 Targa. Something about the roof parts being non Porsche and therefore very expensive to fix in the event something breaks. Can someone please verify this?

Hi Ben, just checked my photos from the Newcastle German Day and unless it has been changed, the rego is different, or, there were two there and I missed it. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a tip fan but th car actually looks pretty good and price is cheap for a 993 aliet non vario ram. I have seen worse. Different door pockets and basket handles are clues. I thought it was high for an import tip,.ok for Australian tip. Happy to see prices increase,though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
