I'm looking for a pre 81 911 rally car to race in historic special stage rallies over here in France. A couple have caught my eye including one with Paul Stephens in Suffolk. A little silver number that has been on his website for a while. Any opinions on the car and the dealer in question would be gratefully received before I shag over to see it.

No opinion on the car but your preferred method of transport sounds brilliant!

No idea about PS or the car but I am extremely jealous of you rallying a 911!

Good man and good luck in your search!

Ha ha! Sadly more of a euphemism than a fact I'm afraid.

Have spoken to Paul a while back. They are without doubt at the pinnacle of their art. Alas with a price tag to match.

Do yourself a favour and give Dave from Dsd a ring. Pretty sure he had the car in for some work. He would give you a honest independant apraisal. Contacts on dsdmoterwerks.com

Certainly a tempting project for someone and at a keen price. Thanks for posting. I'm looking for something more or less ready to go however.

VAT is only reclaimable if the car's exported outside the EU (or purchased by a business that can legitimately do so e.g. a race team).
