EXTERIOR

The exterior of the car is in good condition and looks amazing in its original Light Ivory colour that matches the Certificate of Authenticity. The car is very solid and only has a small patch of welding on the front floor that has been expertly finished; all detailed in the images and videos.

Wheels & Tyres
The car has a beautiful set of steel wheels with chrome hubcaps. They are in excellent condition and look fantastic against the ivory bodywork. The tyres all have good tread and even wear.

Bodywork
From our visual inspection the bodywork looks to be rot free and as mentioned, David has recently completed a small bit of welding work on the driver’s foot well. As you’d expect with a 50 year old car, there are a few small blemishes, including two on the front part of the bonnet, a scratch on the OSR wing, and slight imperfection on the NS door. A good paint specialist may be able to fix these small issues without respraying the panels. These have been picked out in the images / videos. Our visual inspection of the underside looks rot free and will be confirmed by passing a new MOT before sale. The body panels also look free from any significant rust. There are no signs of issues / filler on any of the usual hot spot areas like the skuttle, window surrounds and B posts. The panel gaps look visibly correct over the car and all doors, bonnet and engine lid open and close with no issues.

Paint
As you’d expect, the car has been painted at some point during its life. If the few small bodywork points as mentioned above were remedied, then this car would fall into the excellent condition category quite easily.

Glass and Trim
All glass looks in excellent visible condition with a new windscreen recently fitted. The chrome / brightwork is in really good condition as you can see from the media file.

INTERIOR

The interior on this 912 is particularly lovely and original.

Seats and Carpets
The front and rear seats are all in good condition – there is a very small tear on the driver’s seat that can be easily fixed. David has fitted new carpets and seals all around.

Dashboard
The gauges are in original condition and worked during our test drive. The dashboard looks good too with no splits. The front part of the dashboard has been recovered at some point in black leather.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick
The steering wheel looks original and is in lovely condition matching the patina of the rest of the interior.

MECHANICS

I have been out in the car two times to a total distance of about 5 miles. On both trips the car performed extremely well and started first go from cold with no smoke noticed.

Engine and Gearbox
Please see the video to see the cold start. The car started first time and once warm runs very smoothly and revs easily with no smoke.

Suspension and Brakes
As mentioned, the car handled as you’d expect on our short runs without any issue, i. e. the ride was smooth and the brakes pulled the car up straight. There were no suspension knocks or rattles to be heard from the car on our run, even over the roughest of ground.

The Drive
The car performed perfectly on our drives and was a joy to be out in. The engine, gearbox, clutch and suspension all worked well with no issues noticed. I was taken out in the car twice to a distance of about 5 miles with a maximum speed of about 50 mph.

Electrics and Other
No issues found during our inspection. A new fuel tank has also been fitted recently.
