Graham,
What's the proper way to fold the top? I followed my speedster manual and ripped my top.

Truly...madly...deeply...well done. Understated, but hungry. I really love it.

A few detail interior shots I snapped off after valeting, followed by the last few photos of Graham firing up the engine for the first time and driving the 9m Speedster home.

Not sure about the shorts Roy, it's not that warm.....

Damn that's sweet....now I'm getting increasingly tempted to get one of my own (just sold my cab so I might be able to rationalize it to the wife )

As everyone has said. Utterly stunning! If you're ever, one day, crazy enough to sell it - let me know!

Thanks for the compliment. Visit is definitely going to add an other Porsche to my collection; 9M 911 RSR - only for the time being terribly stuck with my running business contracts. Hope that all can be finalized soon!

Cheers Jager, it's much appreciated coming from the one who paved the widebody way.

Don't think Graham will mind me telling you that the car is back in the shop for us to do a little engine check over now it has done a few miles, so if anyone is passing 9m over the next few days and you fancy a closer look, you will be more than willing to drop in. If you're lucky you may also get coffee & a biscuit!

When we're done servicing the engine I'm also hoping to show Mr G our new 3.8 litre piston & cylinder sets when he comes back to collect it.....

I started reading this thread and couldn't stop. Your attention to detail and your craftsmanship is unbelievable. This is the best 'project car' thread yet. Congratulations on a job well done and a special congratulations to the owner.
Just beautiful!

Just got the July GT Porsche magazine. Nice article on this beauty with some great pics. As I sit here it's gorgeous outside. Perfect Speedser weather.
