True Porsche enthusiast and, the pure state of that Porsche 912 is refreshingly period with patina and battle scares to show longevity. Respect your elders!
I wanted an early 911 for over 30 years , ended up buying a 912 and wouldnt change it for the world. Its a superb drive. Sad to hear about kinky Mick RIP, remember him from my VW days
Nice car. I also have a 1967 912- bought it years ago enjoyed it for a while but now it has been sitting for years. Should probably get it running again. 😵💫
Loving these episodes on just “pure” cars. Any car you need a tetanus shot before climbing into, but runs great, is something special. So much more interesting than looking at a “concours” garage queen that’s never seen the rain.
I have two of these. A pumpkin orange 68, unrestored all original. I've done what l needed to do, had the paint "refreshed", new headliner, seats restitched etc. With 117k miles it still runs and looks great. The 67 came without running gear so now it has a 2.3 litre Penrose engine. The plan is to have a fully restored 912, all stock except for the engine so now it's apart to get painted. I have a 356 and some 911s but my first Porsche was a dark blue 66 912 that l bought in 75 for $3,000. I've loved them ever since
Mi piacerebbe una delle imbarazzanti 912E solo per swappare il motore con un boxer Subaru aspirato... Questa '67 è invece bella, agile, pura... Porsche!
The 44’s on here have been a royal pain in the arse since filming this. I’m now on a borrowed pair of 44 IDF’s The rear tyres did come from a 2 litre cup car though 🤣
Thanks for the feedback, what wheels should I run to be great? 😂 Fortunately I built this car for me and me alone, was never aiming for it to be anything more than fun for me, the fact that people seem to like it just means other people must like the same things I do.
"I have money but me and my rich friends play pretend poor in our fake ass ratty Pcars .. BMW guys were so much cooler these Porsche guys TRY WAYYYYU TO HARD
Dude I don’t have money, this whole car owes me £12k all in. And I save up every time I need to do something to it or sell something I can live without to pay for what I want to do on the car. But thanks for the feedback on me rather than my fake ass car, and I have had a BMW, was lovely but boring as hell.
Would have enjoyed a little bit of a drive, 40 minutes of yack, yack, yack, the presentation is a little dull, but if we could have experienced a 10 minute drive, I am sure it would have made a differecne. I own a Boxster, but would relish the idea of owning a 911, (ain't gunna happen), but these guys who collect these older air cooled 911's, and then store them in their fancy garages do us poor buggers a disservice, the car becomes a commodity to be stored and traded, like a stock portfolio, seriously though, why does everyone need all these 911's, the excesses of Capitalism, I heard once that Seinfeld has every colour of Boxster, that they ever came in, I say go find another hobby, collect stamps. Harry's garage is exemplary in their presentations.
Give that man a beer, he is a true Porsche enthusiast, a rare breed. Bad as hell car too👌🏿❤️
Thank you

A totally inspiring project. Improved through clever bastardisation.

I don’t suppose you’re keen to sell one…? to a budding 912 fan looking for an affordable way in to Porsches?!
Very similar to my 65 3gauge.. ivory white. Wish i could have seen & heard it run.. beautiful 912
Plenty of videos out there of it running. I’ll post more on here as and when
I like this used and abused look... makes a change for the spotless cars.
It seems almost criminal that we didn’t get to hear that car start up and run.
What's the name of that 912 group?...I happen to have a 'tastefully shitty' 1967 Light Ivory 912! Nice work!!

44's came from a certain race car,,,,

The rear tyres did come from a 2 litre cup car though 🤣
40 minutes and not a drive, not a clip of the wonderful sounding exhaust… glad I FF after 20 minutes… bummer
As mentioned on 912BBS, plenty of videos of this running on my Instagram, and couple on here too
Needs better wheels and it would look great them wheels on it look totally shit
Thanks for the feedback, what wheels should I run to be great? 😂 Fortunately I built this car for me and me alone, was never aiming for it to be anything more than fun for me, the fact that people seem to like it just means other people must like the same things I do.
All talk. Blah. Blah. Blah. I guess these guys are full or themselves. Congratulations? 😂
😂 thanks
