Hello from New Zealand.
I have been an avid reader of this forum for some time and purchased my first Porsche last year which I thought I'd share with you now that I've finally taken some decent photo's.
The car is a 1983 911 SC Sport (sold new in the UK), traveled only 38,500 documented miles and has not seen rain for at least 20 years. It is completely original except for the wheels, which are 16 x 7/8s. I do have the original wheels, which still wear the P7’s the car left the factory with in late 1982.
Standard features include front and rear spoilers, sports seats, Bilstein suspension and 16-inch wheels.
The Porsche also has a completely documented service history dating right back to day one showing every cent that has ever been spent with every service/mileage documented.
This car is absolutely awesome to drive, and feels like a brand new car.
Thanks for looking

Ash911--Did this care come from Paul Stevens in the UK? I may have seen this car before. Doesn't really matter where it came from, this one is a keeper!

Thank you for your comments.
Yes the photo's are indeed exactly what the car looks like and to be perfectly honest it actually looks better in the flesh, so to speak. Most people ask me when it was restored and are totally blown away when I tell them it's completely original and never been touched.
TRG1 - I purchased the car locally from a guy who'd owned the car for many years. Looking at the original ownership details the car has only had one previous owner - that's not the person I'm afraid.

i'm a bit of a novice here.

can you let me know what's the small black circle to the left of the rear license plate?

and what's the silhouette between the 2 headrests?....looks like a scale model of the starship enterprise hovering in the interior...

thx

duncan1437--the black plastic circle covers a threaded hole that can accomodate a screw in tow hook.

Hello Duncan1437
You're quite right, the object does kind of look like the Starship Enterprise, however it's not that exciting I'm afraid.
It's actually a third Stop light, which is a legal requirement for compliance in this country.
