Collecting our 1980 Porsche 911

Having been dry stored but untouched for 3 to 4 years we are hopefully that our 1980 Porsche 911 recommission will be a relatively straight forward project.

There are remedial bodywork, paint and wiring issues that we may look to address but step one would be to carry out a pre-MOT check to decipher what immediate work would need to be actioned in order to get the car road legal.

Arriving back to our workshops in Pettistree, Woodbridge.

The history of ‘our’ 1980 Porsche 911 SC

Backdate, based on a Right Hand Drive 1980 911 SC 3.0. You get the extra performance, handling and braking of the SC (Super Carrera) but with the much sought after, prettier pre-impact bumper looks of an early 1970’s model.

Finished in Ice Metallic Blue, in a light ‘Outlaw’ style, stock 3.0 flat six, 147,000 miles, 5 speed 915 transmission, power steering, servo assisted brakes, modern tyres on original Fuchs rims.

Original dark blue ‘Pasha’ interior, discreet but powerful Pioneer stereo with bluetooth/handsfree mobile phone connectivity, suede period racing Momo Prototipo steering wheel, electric windows, electric sunroof.

Porsche Club Great Britain visit Bridge Classic Cars

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Saturday 23rd February 2019 Bridge Classic Cars opened it’s doors to the Norfolk and Suffolk region of the Porsche Club Great Britain.

We had the teas, coffees and biscuits at the ready and a great morning was had by all.

They brought with them a fantastic collection of Porsches for us to look at and admire.

They spent a good few hours with us, meeting half the Bridge Classic Cars team and getting an insight into what we do here before heading off for lunch at the Dennington Queen.

The Norfolk and Suffolk Region (R12) covers a large geographic area, including the coastal towns of Felixtowe, Lowestoft and Yarmouth, the towns and cities of Norwich, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and surrounding villages. They are an active, sociable club, enjoying a wide variety of events. The members enjoy their Porsches and drive a variety of models from classics to nearly new.

Our region is famous for the Norfolk Broads and has pretty villages to explore, historic Stately Homes and Gardens, quaint country pubs, a lovely coastline, plus good roads to test our pride and joy. We have Snetterton Race Track on our doorstep and several Porsche and Classic Car Specialists in our area who support our Club and whose premises we visit from time to time.

They meet on the third Tuesday of the month at The Bird in Hand Public House, Wreningham, a short drive from Lotus Cars. The meeting starts at 8pm with either a guest speaker, a quiz, or simply to meet up and enjoy a social evening with like-minded people. They discuss forthcoming events and outings, chat about our cars and offer technical advice when needed – the members are encouraged to offer ideas for the future of the Club.

Their yearly program includes Sunday Lunches, visits to local places of interest, and classic car shows. They hold a BBQ each July and end the year with a Christmas Buffet with a charity raffle and auction for local causes.
