    Super Flame : My new SC Euro Ziegelrot Metallic

    All, I had the opportunity to buy a 911 SC dated 1982 in perfect condition, with low mileage and limpid history since first owner. The engine is broken (unknown). The color is red metallic. I will probably backdate it and use it as a daily driver. It has been stored for more than one year, outside. I will dismount the car and will make it new. I know this is not an early as planned, but sometime you have to catch the opportunity.
    Wish me luck.

    All the best
    Xavier

    Hello Xavier,

    Nice gift! My first Porsche was a white SC 3.0, 188 HP. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did with mine. And I hope too that you won't have bad surprises during the renovation… Good luck!
