: My '71 didn't either but it was much meet than yours and had Recaro Freeway Recliners as an option.
No, not original, same with the other timber accoutrements. Not to mention the polished instrument surrounds which appear to have come from China. Not sure about the seats. I'm curious, it has metric instrumentation, it is possible the car was ordered that way, but for a RHD example, that's very unusual. The Porsche heritage certificate would tell and they're easy to get from any dealer worldwide, and complimentary. The car is reasonably close to being a nice original specification example by the looks of things. But like most buyers of these cars, they'll be happy with a Martini stripe across the bonnet and roof.
Had a good day out at Morgan Park yesterday at the Porsche club sprint day helping a mate with his new (to him) cup car. First time he had run it without a couple of the boys from McElrae around. Usually some interesting air-cooled stuff but not yesterday. Nice assortment of Radicals, formual ford, a Dallara Judd (which was bloody quick) and a clubman thing that finished the day with ugly noise from the diff. Somehow left my phone in my wife's bag while she was doing CWA stuff so no photos.

I've been reading up on the current range of 911's, as I was told 25 years ago, the best value 911 is the base model. Youtube by those in the know and various articles confirmed that this is still the case with the current cars. I'm so tempted to put an order in for a base Carrera as my final fossil fuel new car .
I’m sure you’re right. I was chatting to a mate at work today (and showing him the Lotus) whom has quite a history with recent Porsches. He’s had everything you can imagine from the “hard to get” category. Every recent GT3, GT3 RS, GT4 Cayman, GT3 Touring, etc. It’s impossible to keep up. Right now he’s still got the RS and the GT4 but he recently sold a GT3 Touring for almost double what he paid new. Basically, he’s your classic flipper. But a damn good bloke and genuine car enthusiast. The money he got from the Touring enabled him to order another one (992 GT3 Touring) in a ludicrous spec with every single option ticked and a beautiful non standard colour which will be delivered in January, and still pocket well over 100k. The basic ones are probably the best value but if you can somehow get on the “list” you can also do very well out of them apparently.
For what I drive a car the high spec cars are just too stiff for secondary roads, plenty of guys also use the GT3 style cars for trackwork too. I've always liked the Porsche marque having owned 4 cars bought new and a few others second hand
Such a show pony-The way he chucks it into a corner with massive lock -on ,which in fact looks slow !
That's quite extraordinary. It weights 214kg less than my 1973 car which at 1,060kg feels incredibly spritely as it is. Plus the Tuthill car has has over twice the HP of mine. It must feel rather nimble! 11,000rpm, amazing. To put its weight into perspective, it's 753 kg lighter than a current 911 turbo. I'm not into modified cars so much, but this to me is very impressive
