Hello everyone,
I am just fine and the car is, too. I just got old. I am 75 but don't look 75 nor act 75. It is just the right time to sell Sepia. My shifting has slowed down and increasing I worried about some idiot rear-ending the 911S and destroying that powerful engine.
It was incredibly hard to start the 911S one last time and back her down the driveway. My dream is to find someone who wants something more than just a very nice early 911. Hopefully, it will still be driven, carefully, in 2073.
More to come,
Candyce
You have been a very good caretaker, I am sure you will find a good buyer for such a well cared for automobile.
You might remember my 72S was first day Sepia , I wasn’t brave enough when restoring it in 2014 to paint it Sepia, but I’ve always followed your posts Candyce , not only best of luck with the sale , but best of luck in every way
