964 ...... A quickish investment

I wonder when people will start buying 964 retro'd cars and turning them back to OE spec!?

I considered the backdate route with my C2 but pleased I didn't. I have done a few mods but nothing that is not reversible (I have a 964 corner in my loft!)

Having said that, I did have a good look at Paul Stephens creations at the London Classic Car show two weeks back ... nice work. :thumb:
 
Re: Better move fast...


I had intended to do the same, but then insanity struck and i decided to save the 964 i had just purchased from the scrapheap as it would have been destined to end up there inevitably

To be fair, i'm surprised the engine didnt blow, though my mate who was driving it around (and knows nothing about 911's or the oil reader) thought the oil was too low and decided to top it up ut:

Result - Final nail in the coffin so a restoration was the only way out...
 

I'll second that! Those were my exact original thoughts with my C2 but I decided to go for Plan B and upgrade it with various options which could be reversed (if necessary) although I doubt anyone would want to reverse a 3.8 Redtek blueprinted numbers matching engine.

Cheers,
Paul
 

Hi Paul

Missed your reply here.... I don't think you or anyone else would want to reverse anything you have done to your beautiful C2!
Touch wood, the engine in my car is currently running fine but the 3.8 Redtek version is definitely something I'm considering for the future.
Maybe now the weather is a bit better I may get to see your car for real.... and have a beer!🍻

Cheers
Mike
