    I follow a youtube channel called Brandon's bus, and the guy is restoring a VW Beetle bus that was in similar condition to that Porsche. He started with the chassis, and is working up and out from that. It is very much a labour of love but the skillset on display is also mind boggling. Plus of course you need a dry, well lit workshop with at least some tools. OK a lot of tools.

    And an excess of time and energy. A young man desiring a car like that at the time would be 70 now.

    Ooh I'll just order engine rebuild parts required. Oops, there goes what I was going to be retired on.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Well here's something in much better condition

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/m...ing/4040648910

    But it's still a $7000 SR250. No expense spared must be a fairly Liberal use of the expression. Lest the $70 'slip-off' muffler put any doubts in your mind.

    100% legal it sez. But comes with a muffler, mirrors, guard etc (not fitted ) needed to pass a wof. Wonder if the cop will be so lenient in that approach whilst standing at the side of the road as you look at your boots? ?

    That is a boring bike. And, it will be shit to ride I bet. Do it for yourself if that is what you want but don't expect it to sell for huge money…

    He's been polishing something.

    Bit of dedication to get the crankcase looking that pristine. Far more effort than the heaviest 500cc Twin ever made deserves.

    And like Gems look like they have been dug up from a long stay underground.


    Ohh, ok who's brave enough to ask that in the questions?

    Why? Aren't worth the effort finding soon to explode engine and chassis parts. You'd just have a brown flakey pile of metal.
