This will raise a few eyebrows

Amazing he wont sell as he must know the value of what he haa and by the look of the backround he aint gonna do much with them

Its the owners right to do what they want with the cars but its a real shame - I'd love that 911/912 with the tarpaulin folded up neatly on it. The road to hell and all that.... Is it a US spec car?

jaysus :eek:

those porsches , what a waste !!!!!!

why dos,ent he at least cover them up

3nero

im not sure why they're not covered and i don't know if the 911/912 is a yank spec it's had a small fire. they are in a friends back garden, trust me if they where any good they wouldn't be sitting like that. they are parts cars. better to see them there than on a slow boat to china

That's a nice early Passat. Had one of those in the early eighties back in Holland, same nice shade of orange too and also a two door... very solid, reliable and quite nice to drive. Never let me done once :-)


I'd say that Porsche is beyond rescue indeed. Looks like they tried to change the 911 into a turbo replica with wide wheel arch extension and whale tail. Non original seat sticking through. The chrome window frames on the side would suggest late seventies-ish...
A half decent 911/912 is easy enough to pick up for around 10-15k and it would be a lot more 'economic' in the long run than trying to bring a bad one back to life, you'd easily spend 20-30k and you'd still not have it right...
