I am selling my 911 S as I would like a change. I have owned this car since 2004 (I have the title in my name), in that time I have put 7,000 miles on it. I have used it for short weekend drives mainly but also the odd 100 miles plus journey. I have always had the car serviced by a Porsche specialist and perhaps spent $6,000 or so on the car since I have had it; on things like new brakes, new windscreen, shift linkage bushings, etc. The car is in my opinion a very nice driving car. I am not a mechanic, expert or dealer so from my limited expertise I would say the car is very nice. The pictures included are all taken in the last few days or weeks. It presents very well and drives well. The underneath shots show the ziebart rust proofing treatment the car had from when it was first bought years ago. To my eye there is no obvious rust of any type other than where an exposed under section like a sway-bar or a shielding has surface rust. The car has all the bills and records from literally its first repair/service, it also has the service booklet, I have all the original keys, owner's manual and sleeve. Also there is the COA from a previous owner (original engine #6331271 is in the car - someone just asked me and I checked). The seats are Recaro (have the original warranty) for those too. The thing that this car has that will be a plus or minus depending on what you want it is the modification to the engine. It is supercharged. The car is very fast. I have the bill and the pictures of the engine when built (see photos) - about 30,000 miles ago/circa 1989 at a cost of $10,000 plus the engine was rebuilt and a new breathing system installed, to accommodate the pulley the bonnet was tastefully modified too. The pictures show the changes. This was all done long before I owned the car so I cannot answer too much detail. Car was serviced about 200 miles ago. 

Ebay asks that I describe faults so these are the main faults in my view, I am trying to be as honest as I can and leave it up to you to judge what you think of the car vs. being a huckster. The paint is very high quality but there are a few small cracks at seems e.g. where A pillar and fender meet, the clock does not work, the A/C plumbing was removed when the engine was modified and does not come with car, the car starts every time but as I don't drive it too much it smokes for the first minute or two but once warmed up is fine, like many 911's it weeps oil but nothing too bothersome, the driver's seat has a small fraying on side that seems to be not getting any worse, the dash top was cracked and a cap put on it and some of the rubber weather stripping would need replacing. 

This car is being sold "as is" and "where is" with no guarantees implied or otherwise. The sale is final. I ask for a non-refundable deposit in the amount of $1,000 within 72 hours of the auction end via bank wire transfer or cashier's check via overnight mail. Fully cleared funds of full payment must be received within 10 days of auction regardless of when you arrange for pick up of vehicle. If deposit is not received within the required period of time, the vehicle will be offered for sale to runner up high bidder or re-listed. This is to be considered an absolute sale and the buyer is required to comply with all of my conditions in these terms of sale. With your winning bid the auction you agree with my terms of sale and the terms of sale are to be considered a legal and binding purchase agreement. There are no inspections to be made after the auction ends. I reserve the right to cancel any bid at any time and to end the auction early for any reason. I have tried to describe in any known flaws in the vehicle. The displayed odometer mileage on the vehicle is correct at the time of listing. This is an older car, 40 years old, so condition is a subjective thing to individual. I shall not be responsible for the absolute correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and make no guaranties or warranty in connection with the sale of this vehicle. My description of the vehicle is for presentation only and not to be accepted as a warranty of any type. It is up to the buyer to have themselves satisfied as to the condition and value of the vehicle before bidding and to bid based upon that judgment only. I assume no responsibility for any repairs whatsoever regardless of any oral or written statements about the vehicle. 

Good luck and thank you for your interest

Porsche 911: Big in Taiwan

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

Porsche is continuing celebrations for the fiftieth anniversary of its iconic 911. In its latest video, it's gone to Taiwan, to interview some of the folks that have grown passionate about the rear-engined sportscar over the years.
By and large, the views expressed in this video could have come from anywhere in the world. The 911 is a great car and that doesn't change from country to country. These enthusiasts have the same passion that fans in England, the United States or Germany have for the Carrera. Take a look below at the full video, to see what the 911 enthusiasts of Taiwan love about their 911s.

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.
