can one of you mechanically minded experts explain to very simple me how this 964 turbo with 1700 miles needs a complete engine rebuild?
I get that it was stored long term, I get that it has perished rubbers and stale fluids etc, but would a full rebuild actually be necessary?
As said it will be for oil seals most likely or seizure.
Stunning car, once you ditch those silly over size sharkfins. Reminds me of my old red 3.3T. At the same time our mate Graham had the Horizon Blue Sultan 3.6T with only 8k on. Stunning. It had the mega rare X88 Powerkit too.
Anyway remember lads, if you don't it use it, it'll shrivel up...
I'm talking oil seals obviously. :wink:
Bidding ran out of steam at £200k on this car and it went unsold.
As you chaps have said it just have been the sand related engine rebuild situation - in any other circumstance an untouched 1700 miler would have gone through the upper estimate
