03050 with an RS

The dino looks fantastic Iain and even better since I see it a few years ago. Personally i liked the red cloth inserts but it is a acquired taste for some.

You certainly have looked after it very well and knowing the extremely high standard you set yourself in restoring this gem, it should make the new owner very happy indeed.

There are lots of cars on the market at the moment but none come close to this one in terms of quality.

Good luck and I bet you are sorry to see it go?

The Porsche is a 1974-5 ROW Carrera 2.7 MFI, it has the same engine as the 2.7 RS(type 911/83). See Carrera 2.7 by Ryan Snodgrass.

 

I think your Dino looks gorgeous! I would interview prospective buyers with a Dino like yours. Your Dino deserves a passionate collector! Is BaT popular in the UK?

 

Totally agree, the standard of work on this car is extremely high [very envious] and dare i say equal to the car in the Dino Compendium, even the shut lines are perfect. There are lots of paint sprayers out there who are just as capable as any other, its all down to price. Preparation is the key to any good work and that costs

I have seen quite a few UK Dino restorations over the years by "some very well known specialists" and the standard is lacking, from paint finish to fine details. One N&B restored car at Auto Italia had well over 100 faults i could see and i am no expert by a long shot, their excuse - it wasnt finished yet...........!

The old saying "you pay peanuts and you get monkeys" is so true. My experience is, if you are able & want a restoration car then buy at the cheaper end of the market but be prepared for lots of work and money - if you want a car to just drive and enter into shows, then buy the best.

Personally I would keep the car, its going to rise in value and top quality cars like this will fetch a premium. Whoever has walked away from that car is an idiot.

 

You sure that isnt a picture of when it left the factory
top quality work Iain

 

The modern Orange RS is choice with a Dino!
An MT6 that you can flat shift, rear steering to compensate for unweighting events, and 513 hp that revs to 9000 rpm.
When Mattias stayed over he walked past teh Orange GT3T in the garage and casually pointed "Oh, a German car"
- Yes, and a bit more, LOL


Offensively loud interior?
I'm pushing that boundary with P1Designs memory foam custom inserts in Gulf Orange 039 pepita .... have i gone too far?

That looks perfect to me. Just the right orange with just the right grey.

 

GLWS
Germination Green is so choice and your Dino knowledge has brought this car to such high standards that the new owner would have no work to do at all.

nice..........matching pair, now you have to keep the Dino

Personally i think you are selling it to cheap, worth every penny of the asking price imo

 

How scandalously apropos of you!

So sad, 05082 in that pic is now impounded in the collection of Quicken Loans CEO, Jay Farner.
LMK if you need a working Dino A/C for $2000 - install only takes one day

 

Tony, Toni, Tony,

Of course he is a Dino lover, don't you know what is going to happen?
This is a pure excuse for the next one. He will miss it ... then while "not looking" he will find another Dino with lots of needs and then do yet another full blown restoration. Pure car guy behaviour patterns

 

First stage: Denial

Hey, even Rorky made it to Maranello for the 50th Dino anniversary in July 2018
