After whats seemed like years of looking I finally found my dream 964, a left hooker non-sunroof C2 manual.











Its got some interesting options including that steering wheel and no rear wiper. Paint is good but needs a few bits sorting out. Also high miles but engine seems strong with very few leaks. Only bit missing from the ultimate spec is an LSD but thankfully this is a bolt-on part unlike the roof and left-hooker-ness.

Car is currently on Irish plates and the wrong wheels but once thats sorted I'll get a few better pics.

Nice, I gave up looking some time ago, and bought a diesel Range Rover instead lol

Nice find! I used to own a non-sunroof/no rear wiper C4 and didn't realise how rare they were whilst I had it! Are you going to put D90's back on it or something else?

Nice! A couple of questions...

1. In the U.S., the only time I've run across the adjustable headlight switch were in Land Rovers and Range Rovers. I assumed it was to compensate for towing or heavy loads. Is that what I'm seeing to the left of the headlamp switch? If yes, what's the theory on a Porsche??

2. Why would you want LHD in the UK? I find driving a RHD very disconcerting here in the U.S. because it seems like the cars passing me are far away. And we have wide roads!

I guess its just the same reason?

For me in any 911 left-hand drive is best-hand drive whatever the country. Rhd pedal offset means the throttle leg is cranked across to the middle of the car, in a lhd its pretty much straight ahead so its only the pedals you use less frequently that are compromised.

Congrats Jevvy.

Plans for it?

jevvy964

Thanks dude - ive got some cups that I can put on for now and get rid of the orrible 996 wheels, then I'll probably try to track down something lighter(BBS/Volk)

it will probably go a bit like this: Back to standard>Get bored>RS look>Get bored>Superlight Cup rip-off>Regret it>Back to standard

Congratulation’s on the new purchase and good luck with the project, I have a question, apart from doing an RS replica, what is the fascination everyone seem to have about non sunroof cars, I understand there is weight addition (and high up within the chassis at that), I find the sunroof a pleasant addition and am glad to have it, am I missing something?

There is also more headroom in non-sunroof cars which is often useful if you need to wear a helmet for trackdays etc.

For me its this view mainly:


A non-SR roof just looks sooo much nicer, no horrible felt seals to trap grot and rot, no leaks, less weight, more headroom and less to go wrong

many thanks, the helmet space makes sense

Jevvy, I love mine for the same reason. The number if times I've used a sunroof in previous cars is really low. At 6'2" I need as much headroom as I can get, as I intend to do more track days so helmet clearance from the roof is important too. But like you I just love the uninterrupted curve of the roof. Congrats in the find. Enjoy.

jevvy964

Same here - I just never open them mainly through fear of having to drive home in the rain when they get stuck open

off a slight tangent, was surprised how cheap a new roof is
