Yes Pete, sounds great but, you would not advertise it as original ;)

My 911 came with it back in 1985. It scares me that it's a lot to go wrong, but but it never does.

It's air (& oil) cooled. If you put low grade petrol in, because it's all you can buy to get you home, it knows, knocks the timing back if it starts to pink (it has 10:5 to 1 compression! ) and runs flat until you can get some super unleaded again.

Aproaching Dieppe, late for a ferry, we were running dangerously low on fuel, though I had 5L under the bonnet. Instead of cutting dead when she ran out, like most cars I've had, it did a wonderful thing to get us off the toll road and onto a lay by to top up - it just ran really flat for a few Km, like it was eking out the last litres.

I have an 1984 911 (carrera 3.2). The only electric part that went wrong in 17 years is the sensor for the electronic heating.
