My 70S project on ebay - original RHD, MATCHING NUMBERS

[Merv]

Just shows how relevant the OS market is going to be. Incredible price.

If peeps are interested the buyer has posted about it on DDK.

On their Forum? Could see your advert there, but can't see any new post anywhere .

Here's the DDK thread: http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/vie...p?f=28&t=48740

On the one hand $59k seems like good value, but if you use a UK third party like Canford or Autofarm to get this "car" back to concours it could easily cost A$100k . . . maybe even $150k. At that point it's a $185k-$200k concours 2.2S . . . right on the market.

Hmmm maybe. A lot of work and time in that still, import costs and markets can fluctuate. I think Mitchell will be very pleased. Also makes me think that the US and German/European market will become even more the major venues for LHD cars from Australia.

Thanks for the post link Nick.

Dont forget the buyer has to pay 20% VAT when importing the car into the UK as well.

Whoops, just read the DDK thread and since its a UK delivered car, no VAT charges !

I read on that DDK thread that Dennis Brooks 2.2S that went to the UK is now up for sale. The UK market is certainly hot for 911S's.

Well done Mitchell, still not sure I did the right thing passing on this a few years ago but timing didn't work for me. Pleased the market moved in your favour

[Bremith]

Rest assured I lost money at $59k

C'est la vie

Hmm that confirmed what I was thinking.
