Well someone has to buy an old Sportomatic - especially one with the dreaded 2.7 engine. I know, I know ..... convert to 5 speed, fit a 3.0 litre etc. But surprisingly this one's sound in wind and limb (haven't checked those head studs yet!) - with thousands spent by previous owners and only minor cosmetics needed.
Before you all shout 'sell it quick' - the 'box is brand new and actually suits the nature of this essentially touring car. Anyway to some questions.
1. Can anyone tell me where to get a reprint of the '77 911 UK spec. (yes it's RHD) owner's manual? I know Pelican Parts USA do a US spec. one but it would be good to have the correct UK version.
2. Just how rare is a RHD 911 Targa Sportomatic and does anyone have an idea of its value ceiling as a condition 2 car and whether it is likely to appreciate/depreciate over say 5 years?
3. As I haven't yet got an owner's manual can anyone tell me the correct tyre pressures for this car?(I'm aware that there's a 5:4 rear/front ratio and have them at 37/30 psi just now but the ride feels a bit harsh and the steering on motorways a little lighter than an '87 Targa I previously borrowed.
