1978 PORSCHE 911 SC / TURBO COUPE BODY SHELL WITH DOORS, BONNET AND BOOT LID.
THIS IS A GERMAN IMPORTED 911 SC LEFT HAND DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY IMPORTED INTO THE UK ON 30TH SEPTEMBER 1998. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAD TWO UK OWNERS. IT WAS CONVERTED TO A TURBO WIDTH SHELL USING GENUINE STEEL ARCHES. NO FIBERGLASS JUNK ON THIS CAR. THIS WOULD MAKE A LOVELY RESTORATION FOR SOMEONE OR A GREAT BASIS FOR A RACE CAR PROJECT.
ON THE WHOLE THE CAR IS VERY SOLID, IT WAS A RUNNING DRIVE ABLE CAR WHEN WE STARTED WITH IT, WE HAVE STRIPPED EVERYTHING OFF IT TO USE ON ANOTHER PROJECT. SO WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET, WE ARE INCLUDING THE TROLLEY IT SITS ON WITH THE SALE. THIS SHELL BENEFITS FROM NEVER HAVING A SUNROOF, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAD SOME SORT OF AFTERMARKET ARIEL ON THE ROOF AT SOME STAGE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER FILLED OVER THE HOLE. THIS SHELL IS HPI CLEAR AND IS SOLD WITH THE V5 LOGBOOK, HPI CERTIFICATE AND SOME SERVICE HISTORY.
IT HAS A COUPLE OF AREAS OF ROT, IN THE USUAL PLACES, JUST UNDER THE HEADLIGHT BOWLS HAS BEEN POORLY REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY. IT COULD REQUIRE SOME ATTENTION. THE INNER FRONT WINGS, SEE PICTURES HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN WELDED, THE WELDED AREAS ARE STARTING TO GO RUSTY, ALTHOUGH NO HOLES PRESENT. AROUND THE LOWER EDGES OF THE WINDSCREEN, THE METAL IS RUSTY, NO BUBBLES OR HOLES, JUST SOME RUST COLOURED METAL, I DON'T THINK THIS AREA NEEDS CUTTING OUT TO REPLACE, JUST CLEANING AND RUST PREVENTATIVE. I THINK IT HAS BEEN CAUGHT IN TIME. THE ONLY OTHER AREA OF RUST THAT I HAVE FOUND IS IN THE N/S/R INNER WHEEL ARCH. SEE PICTURE, WHERE THE WING MEETS THE BACK PIECE. THIS AREAS IS RUSTY WITH HOLES PRESENT. EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE VERY GOOD, THE FLOOR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND DOESN'T REQUIRE ANYTHING MORE THAN A STRIP AND RESEAL TO MAKE PERFECT.
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY APPRECIATING CLASSIC NOW, I WISH I HAD THE SPACE AND TIME TO KEEP IT, BUT OTHER 911 PROJECTS NEED THE FUNDING FROM THIS SHELL. IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS SHELL, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT A RARE OPPORTUNITY YOU ARE LOOKING AT HERE, VIEWING IS ESSENTIAL IN MY OPINION. SORRY I CAN'T GET INVOLVED WITH OVERSEAS SHIPPING, BUT I CAN DELIVER WITH 100 MILES OF TW19 5DE AT £1.00 PER MILE, PAYMENT TO BE MADE IN FULL BEFORE HAND.
THE SHELL IS LOCATED IN WRAYSBURY NEAR HEATHROW AIRPORT, VIEWING IS WELCOME ALMOST ANYTIME, JUST PLEASE CALL WILL BEFORE HAND.
£12,000. I am willing to listen to sensible offers.
