Sorry guys, off topic, but you've got some competition !
 
Looks great Chris. I've suddenly "woken up" to these.

Are those "lollipop" seats? Is that what it came with?

Cheers.
 
Chris,

I know, you´re the master of photoshop, but this one looks real....

I saw a similar car race in Le Mans in 1981 - not spectacular, but fast and very reliable. From memory they spent the shortest time in the pits of all and driven by W. Röhrl and J. Barth it finished 7th overall - Great Sportscar! Hope memeory serves me correctly.

Rgds,

Well done Chris - a shrewd purchase, I was viewing the sister car at Maxted Page a couple of weeks ago. Did you know Derek Bell owns of these?

Thanks [:)]

In answer to the lollipop seats from the 935 ... but what an elegant four point harness inertia reel solution !

Yes it is real, believed to be one of 9 road registered and therefore not raced.

Not a Clubsport, but all were built to the same spec and for the Clubsport (same old story that Porsche made 50 and couldn't sell them all) ... the optional aluminium bolt in roll cage (!), Halon fire extinguisher and a tweek of the Turbo were applied retrospectively to 15 of the 50.

It is very different from the Carrera GT, with bespoke motorsport bits everywhere.

This has supposedly had the Turbo tweek (that should be 280 BHP) but I can't say that I can feel it.

On the other hand, it's predecessor was a 997 GT2 !

What I can say is that even on fresh road tyres, it is amazingly adjustable. Or is it just that I have got used to keepting the throttle pinned and adjusting the steering to keep the car on the same line through the corner ?

Some of the adjustments are fairly swift [:)]

As for Spa, now that would be brave !!

I took the trouble to speak to people who had looked at the Richard Lloyd car in it's previous iterations. It was a racer and was treated accordingly. My main problem was, a LHD car, who was Richard Lloyd :)

Not wishing to be rude, I wish I had a fab car attached to me, but in terms of value ?

As for Derek Bells --- yes I did, it is also not the Clubsport but it has standard Carrera GT doors with electric windows ... and white wheels.

However, testament that of all the cars I guess he has sold, he has kept this one ...


 
Brilliant! Well done Chris. Great that the old group are exploring other avenues too. You with the GTS. Oldtimer with his 356. Damen with his 959. Melv with his skoda...

LeMans 1980, Andy Rouse and Tony Dron came 12th, Derek Bell and Al Holbert came 13th, Jurgen Barth and Manfred Schurti came 6th, the 908 driven by Jacky Ickx and Reinhold Jost came 2nd, and most of the 935's did not finish -- one came 5th and one 8th and 9th ... and then 20th ... out of 14 well respected teams.

All the 924 Carrera GT's finished ...

This is when Porsche were determined that the future was with an engine in the front !

And Jurgen put everything into making it so ..


 
Seen this car a few times over the years. Owner used to have a black 924GT as well but that's probably late 90's early 00's.

Nice car [:)]
 
Thanks Rich,

I'm going back in time -- also '75 Carrera 2.7 Coupe RHD and '73 2.4S LHD ---

I'll chip all in for a 2.7RS when the market bombs [:D]

I almost bought a '65 2.0S but somehow it never quite happened ...

Five in the garage is my limit with a BMW i3 standing guardian :)
 
Great car ,Chris-very interested to see it's uses an 8 cylinder CIS fuel distributor -coupled 2 into 1 to get the fuel flow necessary for the 280 bhp.
