I have had this car 20 years , started about 19 years ago to restore it / turn it into a Category 1 Historic rally car ... never quite finished it ! . House move is "forcing" a sale - currently advertised (only) on a website for early Porsches. So will direct you there to save me typing for the next hour !. This is my 2nd 911 restoration - first took me 2.5 years (1973 car) , Bought in Belfast for £3550 in 1985, sold to a dealer 32 years later , now in Australia , Value well in excess of £100K.
I spent about 3 years on it (1300 man hours) cutting grinding and welding mostly ... suspect I got more pissed off with it than I realised ... stopped , bought a 928 car ready to rally ... and had fun for 3 or 4 years. Body shell is essentially complete pre paint. Car is about 95% complete .... but there are a lot of boxes !
Advert is under Porsches for sale - on DDK website / forum. (google "DDK online forum", yellow logo ... some on here use it !!) Price is not fixed , as I need to sell - started mid point between my cost and what I think it is worth. Advert links to a small album of photos , will try to attach one here. These are not rare in Left hand drive (relatively) , but very few exist in RHD, esp with original UK registration number.

I had my Land Rover in as many bits but I didn't need to weld anything, just nuts bolts screws and rivets. Also with it being a LandRover, I didn't have to worry about interior refitting.

The Ginetta was in less bits as the engine was bought as a crate engine and the rest was a completely knocked down kit, and it's only concession to an interior was a gaiter over the gear lever.

I will admit to some garage envy, and wish you well with the sale.
 
I've been upside down in a ditch and then reshelled a 930 back in about 1988/9, not mine and not me driving but everyone at work assumed that I'd dropped it into a ditch whilst returning it to it's owner. Not actually that bad to work on.
928 is not known for it's rallying pedigree, I always fancied one back in the day. Any details/pictures.
I would have thought Tuthills would know an interested purchaser for this one.

928 ... is / has not any rally pedigree (hardly even a race one) ! When I was competing in it, it was essentially the only one in the world. In car footage is best : Google "Porsche 928 Historic rally Molls gap" ... that will get you started , myself driving (semi obvious) , follow The Lazy Beaver !! (long story). Francis T tried to buy the car off me several times , ? ten years ago ... I always politely said no , that I wanted to rally it. Sometimes you bite off more than you can chew ! Cheers.

This one was a disaster (the shell) - inner inner sill (there are three vertical sections to a 911 sill) - was NOT even joined to the floorpan (yet it had a valid MOT .... cough)
My last 911 took 670 hrs , start to finish , this one 1300 hrs so far , and I would guess 150 to 200 hrs to finish (some difference)

No, don't do that - he's too busy as it is without being distracted by another rare Porsche 🤣
(Disclaimer - I'm waiting for a gap in his schedule to take on my Beetle....)
