Yes I spotted this shell and emailed the seller but no reply, that was Friday. A few more photos would be useful. I spotted lots of under-seal under one of the rear arches, which I thought was odd for a recently refurbished and painted shell.

Would you believe I got a reply, and the 'Porsche Specialist' who prepared the shell is given as 'Fenn Lane Motorsport', the same company that 'stwannabe' has been trying to get in touch with, without success.
It maybe worthwhile someone more local viewing the shell, to give 'stwannabe' a good idea of how his money would be spent, if he went with them??
Has anyone heard of, or used Fenn Lane?

Cheers 911, what a small world... Chris at Fenn Lane seems really switched on, I was very impressed with his breadth of knowledge and he may have not come back to me because he has too much work on. I feel he is a bit of a dark horse, he had got 4/5 nice old Porches in, at various stages of renovation, all classics. There is very little about his company on the web and his own site points more to Hillman Imps, another passion but a strange combo all the same. Have a few leads to follow up so hopefully I can get going again very soon, thanks.
