I've owned a half dozen of them, and have had 3 at once... I have two now.

Awesome cars in every way. They are getting way more positive attention now. This year we've already seen a 75% increase in 912E engine builds here. Thats a good indicator, because we do more 0912E engines than anyone, and the quality of the car rests is demanding a higher quality engine.

Here's #985 after I finished it's resto last year. I drove this car 160K flawless miles over a decade as my only daily driver. It has a unique RAT engine and while its EFI, its not stock.
