Suggestion · Original poster
Around £4k was spent in the preparation of the car with the main cost fixing the rear spoiler not working properly upon their testing when they were asked to sell on behalf of the previous owner.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I spoke with them before I bought mine and I would have been seriously interested in it but had a car to part ex. From what the guys told me it had money spent on it to get it up to scratch for them to sell it. All in all I think you’re getting a nice looking car that looks like it’s been looked after.
It’ll be interesting to hear your thoughts on ownership once you get it. So far I’m loving mine although it is a little thirsty but something you get used to.
Yeah, it looked well maintained from everything they sent me over. I'll be travelling down on the 11th of January to view the car and take it home. William Crawford is close to a 4.5 hour drive from London.
What sort of mpg do you get? I had an e90 M3 for 4 years as my daily driver. As long as its not worse than a Naturally Aspirated v8 then it'll be fine.
So when is the Car and Classic advert from ? It was £7k more in that advert.
I bought my Turbo (HF54 AFU) from WC unseen just lots of videos and photos. It's a long way from Scotland. They have some nice cars there. HF must be the Bournemouth reg code as mine was originally from there.
Looks really good in silver, I always wanted a white one but they're so incredibly rare in the UK , not so in the US though.
20-25mpg is normal for mine on a run
It was originally registered in Bournemouth. Based on this Instagram post, I would say May 2022 although the Change in ownership happened in August 2022:
20-25mpg is what I'm used to so should be no different in terms of fuel costs. I'm excited to go see the car.
I picked up the car yesterday. The overall condition was great and the service from William Crawford was excellent. They have a great stock of cars.
It was a 4.5 hour drive so had a good chance to bond with the car. I'm really happy with my purchase. Around £4k was spent in the preparation of the car with the main cost fixing the rear spoiler not working properly upon their testing when they were asked to sell on behalf of the previous owner.
Collection day images:
I got taken round the project area where they undertake restorations on behalf of clients. I was suprised that people ship their 964s in from America and countries in Africa to have it restored by them in the UK.
A large portion of the cars had been sold or reserved.
Did you have the boost gauge selected on the dash? It'd be interesting to know what you're getting in say 4th pulling hard uphill.
Looks fantastic btw.
