Anyone own an old 911 I can have a poke around in?

Hi folks,
Just wondering if anyone of us has an older 911 that I can have a mosey around - and maybe a ride in....


Got an itch that needs scratching....

Another one? Haven't you just finished a porker?

[silverback mike]

Yes, happy with it, but looking for another project, hopefully a nicely bashed cat d, just like the 944 was.

I get bored awfully easily during the winter nights.

Hmmm, old 911 I will own one at some point in my driving career

I'm sure Daz would let you have a poke around his...

I am sure he would - but getting it to Cat D might cause him some concerns!

Mike you're welcome to a run in my 996, just email me.

As for an earlier 911, I assume you mean an 80's 911SC or a 3.2 Carrera? Have you asked over on the porsche forum?

I have to confess to having looked at older 911s in the past and though they are mechanically bullet-proof they do rust like fury - at least as bad as old Brit cars if not worse and much more tricky/expensive to fix.

Bit out of my league, is Daz's beastie. Nice though, and certainly won't turn down a look.
Don't worry, I personally won't cat d it.

Although I am an organ donor.

I don't race on the streets. It's not big and it's not clever.

Next time I'll open her up properly.
