It was free apart from the 3 hours it took to get it out and the £50 I paid the truck driver to deliver it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You can just see it on its side. Behind the 2 ovens are the body moulds and original shell for a March Porsche that apparently won at Daytona. The PO also has a 935 and this 962CK6: (IMG:http://www.groupc-gtpracing.com/images/Simonpullanporsche962.gif) |

Keep us posted on this. That's right - I'll get the body number tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The story is: Car was imported to the UK in about 1983, I believe with the M471 arches installed already. It got bought by the previous owner in 1990-92 ish who realised it had serious rust issues, so the engine and transmission along with the headlamp bucket ID tag and some other parts migrated to a US import 4 cylinder shell in red. The red version of the car was raced for a while before being sold about 10 years ago to an English guy living in Switzerland. Before he could take delivery the red car got wrapped around a tree (apparently) by well known UK Porsche specialist Francis Tuthill. It was sighted by a couple of DDK club members here in the UK after it was wrecked, and the registration records show that it changed keepers in July last year so the wreck is still out there. The original shell stayed in a basement under an office building here in Sheffield since the re-shell and that's where I got it from. I first saw it in about 1996-7 and only got the courage to ask for it last summer - it's taken since then to get it extracted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
