Default Looking for an 88SE in the UK

Still over in the UK until the 28th sorting my Fathers estate and other issues.

Activly using some of my spare time to search for a nice SE. I know of one nice red one that is on 928UK.

Anyone else know where there are any others for sale???

I know only 42 were made so slim pickings I am sure.

Ant leads would be usefull. Talked with John Speake and hope to touch base with Adrian Clarke as well.

A SE would be cool....but why not raise the stakes and find one of those CS's?.... They have to be out there somewhere .... Good luck in the hunt..

It's red. I would just buy it as we all know red ones are faster.

Come to think of it, Roger does not have a red 928. An oddly shade of purple, but no red ones. I think he needs to get that blue one, looks to be the same color as mine and if it wasn't for that steering wheel being on the wrong side, I could trade them out.

Is that so you can get your passenger side fender or their driver side passenger and not have to do any painting.

^^^^^^
LOL!

Rog, that would be SO COOL to have a CS or an SE here in the states! I think someone said there is one of each here already, but I might have misread somewhere along the way...

I can't wait to see what you find!

John,
You read my mind. My first thought was, but they're all manuals.....

Rog, importing to Canada is easy, then vin swap and import to US.

Well, if Rog keeps it there for another 8 or 9 months it will be over 25 years old and EASY to import to the US!
