DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Thanks both for you replies. To put my question in context, it is a complete existing engine that has faulty cases and will be rebuilt in to replacement 7R cases that come with it. Existing parts would be checked and used where possible and my aim would be reliable power and longevity rather than ma...

Hi If I were to have an early 911 engine built / rebuilt, is there a sensible list of do's and don'ts that I should be thinking about? It would be a 2.7 RS Spec engine on 7R cases and MFI. The sort of thing I am thinking of is shuffle pinning - sounds very sensible for early engines but depending on...

Hi Mike I did find something I really liked but the owner had a change of mind and has decided to hang on to the car for a little while. Saw a car last weekend that was very nice and hopefully seeing another this weekend. As is often the case, the cars are scattered all over the country so its a cas...

Thanks for the feedback all.

Sounds like RH are a good option but I'll give the others a call too.

Do you have to supply a spec / build sheet for replicas or heavily modified cars or is it based on general description of the modifications?

Many thanks

Hi Can anyone suggest a good contact / company for insuring a modified early 911? I am looking to buy a 2.7 RS Replica so it will be base car with many modifications, possibly a roll cage etc. Its a second car, garaged, limited mileage (3-5k) and the occassional track day so ideally a specialist ins...

Hi Mike Thanks for the advice, give me a good idea as to what to prioritise in my serach. I accept that any car I buy will probably need a little tailoring to suit my needs but getting a good strating point seems the way to go. Your car looks stunning by the way, good inspiration. i don't suppose it...

Thanks both. Mike - good thing you put the arrows on there as I would still be looking at the pictures trying to work out the difference! I obviously have a lot to learn but seems like I am in the right place. I think my first priority is to get a car that drives like a 2.7 RS (I have been smitten s...

Hi Sanjay - Hope you are keeping well. What are you driving now? Do you still have the GT3 or have you gone for an early car (based on you being on ddk)? I looked at the ad for the car Canford Classics have and it looks lovely but I think I want something closer to the real thing. I'll give them a c...

Hi. Yes its me! I am well. No ring car any more, been doing some motorbike track days for the last couple of years and thought it time I get something more suitable for road use and then I can show my face amongst you Porsche folk again. Jason - thanks for the PM. Sam - will call you this week. Sanj...

Hi Rich. Yes, its me. How are you doing? Hope all is well and you are still enjoying your car.

Hello again Saw a couple of cars today, both with private sellers. It always surprises me how the description doesn't match reality when it comes to buying cars. To be fair, they were quite cheap and I wasn't expecting them to be perfect. If any one know of any other good quality RS replicas for sal...

Thanks both for your replies. Sam - Agree that 2005 isn't that old after all! The advert mentions patina and it sort of sounded like a house that is described as having "original features" ...... and means it needs a bit of freshening up! I take it all back. Any more information on the car...

Hi I have seen this for sale and was wondering if anyone has more information about it or if any one has been to see it or knows the car? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2055871.htm Looks nice in the pictures and sensible road spec rather than the usual track car, which appeals to me. Sounds like i...

Hi Jason

Saw your car on a trailer at Coys in Richmond today. Looks nice in the flesh. Good luck with the sale.

Regards

Hi. Slightly OT again .... what are people's view on the orange RS rep. Mouth watering spec and looks but is it really worth that much. What do you think would be a reasonable price / offer for it?

What do you think they would accept?

Thanks
