@alvis, i'll mail you nearer the time i return to Pakistan, inshallah later this month. Thanks for your help, would love to hook up with this guy if he can show me some 356s.
@spiderman...replicas maybe in vogue today and some are really quite good (speedster etc) but for me at least, and i'm sure others will agree, the real deal is always the real deal...even if means you work your butt off for 20 years day and night before you can afford it:) The finer things in life ususually come with an acquired (expensive) taste that takes a lot of hard work to satisfy...
@Ahsan1702...yes please do provide some details/loc of this so-called 'very old convertible/turbo 911 body'- a pic would do us good if possible. We're just 'hulk' hunters, as neurosurgeon puts it:P!
