DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Thanks. That sounds like a good place to start.

My 1969 911e has this issue. The car starts fine on the hand throttle and once started it warms up reasonably quickly and I can shut down the hand throttle within 5 mins or less. At that point the car runs perfectly. Once it gets properly hot though, it's less happy at lower revs. The tick over tick...

I should give up trying to get any understanding of car values. In what world is a 912 (or 912 with 911 engine and some bits) worth £48,500, where I'd guess most would glance at it and think "rusty" or at best "needs work". Given the rest of the work that's gone on this car, why ...

Spotted this morning in Wimbledon village. Not sure of the colour - looked beige to me.

Like Graham, I have the family fleet with Admiral, who have been fine, but they didn't used to be interested in classic cars. They now seem to be. Claims service is I guess most important, which I think probably depends more on the underwriter (Admiral, Hiscox, Groupama, Chaucer, etc), and less so o...

My wife owns a mid 80s Cartier Santos (back when they gave lifetime parts guarantee). We live in Wimbledon and I work in the City. Any recommendations for where to get it serviced would be welcome. Thanks.

I don't think tangerine is the same at all. This is signal orange. Tangerine is a much nicer colour!

$1.25m for a $186,000 car, that is some ask.

These stories (and it's not the first) about Porsche dealerships don't do their reputation any good at all. I wonder what head office really think of such behavior. Despicable in my view.

I suspect RH Classic are RH Specialist Insurance and your insurer is probably Hiscox? My house ins is arranged by a v helpful girl at Bluefin in Southampton - she arranges insurance for my two cars through Hagerty - who also place my insurance with Hiscox, so I think my requirments are the same. The...

There's one for sale, POA, they do seem quite rare!

I don't know if this is a) genuine, b) any good for older Porsche cars, but this misspelt item is for sale on ebay, starting £50, if anyone needs such it may go cheap - Porshe! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/porshe-car-bonnet-badge-/252279785458?hash=item3abd0c07f2:g:86IAAOSwe-FU81Dp I bought a Babour ja...

I voted yes - for much the same reasons as Ian F. What you get for your money is the opportunity to spend even more money on things that you don't need!

Interesting report. I presume that it can be easily checked whether 306923S is a stolen car. Not sure where that leaves you legally; but I'd presume ok as you bought the car in good faith + you have the car and I presume its original owner is in the US! Do let us know how this works out - and good l...

You don't seem to have much luck. http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=38166&p=300601#p300601 This is a shocking tale and far worse than the blue 68L, which as far as I recall did turn out to be a matching numbers car, even if the auctionhouse wasn't as upfront as it might ha...

Very sad news. Aladdin Sane - first album that I ever bought. I'd recently been thinking that I need to replace some of my old Bowie albums on cd - now I'd better do it.
