I'll start the bidding at a ton
Unreal Barry and what a cool thing to inherit! Had someone else 'taken custody' of it due to it sitting so long, or was it still just sitting waiting to be repaired?
Fair play. What are the plans for it?
It was still being held at the son of the mechanic it was dropped off to in 2011.
Even though it was outside he still took good care of it, tyres weren’t flat (not much cracking) and he’d given it a wash now & again.
There was an outstanding bill from 2011 so I popped it into the Bank of England inflation calculator, paid him the amount in today’s money & he gave me a luck penny back.. gentleman.
Truthfully my family had assumed (and accepted) it was gone.
OEM FTW Bazza! You know it makes sense.Slow resto when I can, it might do our next European trip being LHD & cabriolet. But I’ve a good few things taking priority at the min so maybe get stuck in around autumn or winter.
I intend to bring the car back to how it was delivered to Beverly Hills Porsche in 1991.
No big phat wheels, kits or air ride unfortunately.

Deadly result!
If the guy keeping it turned out to be a knob end what would have been the legalities around ownership?
Could he have used the “it’s been on my property for x months so now I own it” chestnut?
