Looks very nice. What year? I'm guessing late-seventies?



I was very close to buying a 1970 911S back in the day. Still regret missing that deal.

The only problem with those is they'll cost that buying price to run for a year,other than that very desirable.

yeah the problem with it is that it is a porsche first and foremost, and second that it is an old porsche. Parts are expensive, the engine is highly antiquated, and they aren't that fast. They handle like demons, but with that comes the polar moment of inertia problem that all rear engined cars have so if you **** up they spin like tops.

my best friends dad runs a european auto shop, it costs bank to run a european car for a year, regardless of price. If you want an old v12 jag, either learn to work on them, or buy a new one every other year, it's cheeper, not kidding.
