Just watched that. Something very appealing about doing a Caterham-style DIY build with a massive pile of new parts to the exact spec you want.

Shell cost doesn’t seem unreasonable compared to a proper restoration of an original one - I guess it’s down to how bothered you are about keeping an old plate.

Historic rally/racing has a surprisingly big following and relatively cheap Motorsport hence the value in restoring old VINs lol

Tyrrell's latest episode.


That 350GT body unpainted is gorgeous.

The want in strong here! 8-)

I love this Hong Kong import, Meissen Blue, manual, Clubsport, PCCB. Perfect.

It would be a million times better without the crappy stripe on the side.

Bet there's a stripe on the underside too, so he can look cool if the worst happens on a track day. :D

I like/don’t mind stripes when they are standard fit OEM (987 Cayman R / Spyder, 911R, 997 Sport Classic etc), but I wouldn’t spec them if they’re options.

Seems popular with the GT4 crowd and the 991 GT3 crowd (with the massive ‘Porsche’ decal on the rear wing). Why? :? Not for me.

i can handle the rear wing ones, it's the lame side ones that just look like they're a generic "Porsche style decal" off eBay because someone saw a Singer with stripes so thought they'd suit a 991.

Had a scout around for an i8 after seeing Samcrac's stuff (and Rich, before).

Do not want this one, though:

New loom sounds horrendously expensive.

Yeah they won’t have been removed without serious other damage.. all the trims and possibly dash will have been damaged..
Could be ok, could be a nightmare..
