I think its the same guy who turned up at the Portsmouth Historical dockyard visit by Region 17 PCGB..... He lives near Andover. I didn't get to see the car, but it looks good from 10ft away, not sure it was a rep or not. The sight of 19 Porsches going down the M27 was impressive, but all post 1973....

fuel smell

This may be a red herring, but I changed the little fuel expansion box, under the right hand side of the front luggage boot, under the dash, by the speedo etc. It was cracked and the smell of fuel was coming from there. It must rise from the tank, into this expansion box... and I wouldn't have thoug...

Gary,

I agree with the rest yours is definately worth at least £20K+, I have just sold my LHD 2.4T, none matching engine etc for £18K, your coupe looks miles better... Mind you all the interest was from Europe.

1972 targa

Just wanted to say my car is sold.... to a nice French guy, who lives in Le Mans, right on the circuit, between Arnage and Porsche Curves. He has a grandstand seat from his garden wall.

Gone to a good home, now to my next Porsche challenge.

Cheers

Hi,

Just looking for the Airbox itself, are you willing to split... if so what will be

Laon 2009

Tom, Thanks for the link... good photos, got to agree, the 8C looked and sounded fantastic. Had to crawl back at 60 MPH.... car kept misfiring at over 3000 RPM. Simple fault... the cobbled roads had made the coil connection work loose, fixed today and all 6250 Rpms are now available.... Good weekend...

Mine has the same redundant pipes... you should also find the front of these pipes in the front boot. The Charcol system was used to further...
