Thoughts on this car then currently on collecting cars

https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/196 ... -911-s-2-0

Anybody know the car?

[Sam]

That looks very well indeed.

I panicked when I saw a 1188 Targa chassis number in the text but the VIN plates are 1180 so just a typo.

A friend asked me to look at the auction , he was attracted by the Historika resto , and its an S and supposedly matching numbers but no CoA seen.

I found it hard to read the documentation on the site and thought the pictures were not very professional or detailed.

Armed with only that to go on , I would need to either have a proper inspection or go look myself and have a road test....I have been spoilt by BringA Trailer's fully loaded product descriptions for online auctions!

To answer your question , I dont know the car , looks nice , maybe a punt at up to 90k is my opinion ...just a few hours to wait and see !

“The bumper rubbers and the sill trims have been removed to give the body a smoother appearance” is code for holy crap have you seen how hard and expensive these are to buy now!!

I totally agree Jason. I should really buy this car as I have a complete spare set of the correct trim. Then I could put it back up on collecting cars and punters would say ‘what a car, it’s worth £10k more now’.

Who spends £90k on a car just from pictures? Who knows what’s hiding……

Anyone got a set of Weber IDS carbs for it ?

[210bhp]

Cant help with the carbs but I do have an ultra rare set of rhd H1’s for it if you want to drive it in the UK.

So easy to get your mates to bid it up to just under the reserve also with these auctions…

[oldtimer]

Not long to go now , assume only the seller knows what the reserve is....maybe the Italian racing driver will buy it....

Bidding reached £100k but didn't sell ...

[oldtimer]

Only saw 80k reached . There was an extra bit of documentation put up late on , letter from Porsche with build data , the engine number looked different to that shown in one of the mechanical pictures , unfortunately I did not record the number on the letter !

[964RS]

It definitely hit 100 but not reserve

The Letter of Origin from Porsche Cars GB stated that the original engine no. was 4080647 whereas the engine no. shown in the photos was 4081128 ...
