    Lifted up the carpet and moved the spare wheel as its up due to incorrect batteries as well at the weekend and...full tool kit! Get in!

    What would you do, interior is in good shape. Drivers seat springs are worn out but no rips. I am going to put so Fuchs on it and swap the steels over ever now and then

    Really, you think this is a quandary? You "knew" what it was prior to purchasing your "new" 911T so why not just drive it?

    Just because it's "only" a T doesn't mean a thing... your car, alter it any way you want.

    For what looks like a very well documented and original T, it would be a shame to change it.

    I've just spent a long time altering my T back to it's original specs, and in Australia at least it's now worth more.

    Looks like a wonderful car. Drive it, love it or ..... sell it and get what you want. More and more I (we) are seeing original cars as the ones with the best value retention. How many postings we've seen recently where owners are removing incorrect wheel flairs, looking for original engines, wheels, seats etc.

    BTW, steel, non-chromed, wheels look great to me.

    Love the color-Aubergene?

    Just enjoy it, I think the steelies look great. Seems to have had cookie cutters on at some point. Were those original? I thought they only came on E's.

    The times are gone when a T was a just base for playing. At least over here in Europe they make $60k and more.
    Sell it to Europeans, ship it over the pond and then kicking yourself a few years later, when its again for sale at $90k.
    Or keep it in original shape and drive it on US soil.
    An unique car does not to be a T, E or S, its the most original who makes the cut, also in value.
    Beautiful car, nice color, looks like in great shape. The previous owner cared for it, he knew why.
