eBay watch: 1968 Porsche 912 Classic – at just 99 pence

Posted on | Leave a comment

Porsche

Ok, it's unlikely to stay at that price for long, but it's nice to see a low starting price for a very cool car on eBay – this 1968 Porsche 912 Classic.

An incredibly stylish coupe, it's not perfect and has been stood in dry storage for a few years. But if you are willing to invest a bit of time, effort and money in this, it will really pay off. According to the seller, it will need some recommissioning, although it runs when parked and has no bodywork issues.

Lots of images on the site if you need a closer look and as we said, just 99 pence right now.

Porsche

A real gem on eBay right now – this 1969 Porsche 912.

Its appeal lies in its originality. There are likely to be some that are around in better condition, but this one is pretty much as it was in the late 60s. According to the seller, the exterior is 'presentable', chrome is in 'good condition', while door tops, over riders  and trim are 'all very nice'.

Other details include original 5-inch chrome wheels and caps, original headlights and turn signals, an interior that's 'complete' and some original documentation, if that's important to you. £6,101 is the current price.

Fiat

Looking for a head-turning retro sports car that doesn't cost a fortune? Right now, this 1970s Fiat X1/9 by Bertone sports car could fit the bill.

The car was produced by Fiat from 1972 – 1982, this one being a 1978 version with a 1300cc engine and removable hard top that looks, on first glance, like being a perfect example. But read the write-up and you'll see it's had some restoration, but needs more – a dent to the driver's door needs sorting for a start.

Saying that, it's it's described as a 'great driving' car and has just 48,000 miles on the clock, so if you're willing to do the work, it could be a winner. Right now, bidding is at £210.

Volvo

Fans of 1960s cult TV might recognise the caar above – Roger Moore's incarnation of The Saint drove round in a Volvo P1800 – and you can too for just over £4,000.

The model up for auction on eBay is a slightly later model, a 1971 P1800 E, but it looks every bit the part and most importantly, it's been well looked after. According to the sales blurb, the car has been 'regularly serviced and has had a lot of money spent on it' – although there are a list of improvements you should be aware of before you bid on the site.

In terms of specifics, the two-door P1800 E has a 2-litre, ful-injected engine, a manual 4 speed gear box withorking electronic overdrive (5th gear), full stainless steel exhaust, solid paint work and a fully-operational dash. Tax-exempt of course. The bidding is currently at £4,100, which is a very tempting price. See the site for many more images.
