gmo Posted June 24, 2014 Share #6505 Posted June 24, 2014 Wilson, Salmson it is though I didn't find any further indication about the car except the year 1926. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted June 26, 2014 Share #6511 Posted June 26, 2014 Which of the four cars? Sigh - the nearest one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted June 26, 2014 Share #6512 Posted June 26, 2014 Sorry for OT but as there are so many experts around: what would be an adequate price for a 911 T 2.2 (targa) from 1972 completely renovated in 2010 (engine in 2014) with 94.000 km, with an expert opinion saying condition "2 very good original condition"? Looks good at least on the pics, also the leather interior. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted June 26, 2014 Share #6513 Posted June 26, 2014 No idea, but I'll bet looking through Hemmings will give you some clues. BTW: 1960s Targas often had bad rust where the Targa hoop met the frame. You can see if it's bad by jacking the car there and seeing if it sags to either side. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted June 26, 2014 Share #6514 Posted June 26, 2014 Sorry for OT but as there are so many experts around: what would be an adequate price for a 911 T 2.2 (targa) from 1972 completely renovated in 2010 (engine in 2014) with 94.000 km, with an expert opinion saying condition "2 very good original condition"? Looks good at least on the pics, also the leather interior. All old 911’s rust like Fiats and the 1972 and prior are worse than later, as post 73, the floor pans at least are galvanised. The 2.2 is a funny engine and again I would caution against it. The 2 litre and 2.4, if you want a long nose car are better. The Targas fetch less than the coupes for long nose cars and I would guess the price for a 2.2 in near perfect order would be in the region of €30K to 50K dependant which engine (T, E or S). Another issue with these cars is that they may well use the 901 transmission, which is far less robust than the later 915 or G50 transmissions. The casing is quite thin magnesium and suffers from corrosion, age hardening and cracking. If second gear is damaged, this will require a very expensive repair as 2nd gear is part of the mainshaft. All of the mechanical injection or carburettor cars are very thirsty (irrespective of whether they are Solex or Weber carburettors) and you will do very well to get 20 miles/US gallon. There are no new replacements for the Weber 40 or 46-IDA-3 carburettors like a lot of old Webers but at least in this particular case, you can fit the excellent PMO carburettors in place. It is not unlikely that the Zamak bodies of the original Webers may have deteriorated. Little hint for anyone running mechanical injection engines like the E or S or similar on Mercedes, Triumph etc. Modern unleaded petrol/gasoline is very “dry” and provides no lubrication for the plunger pump, unlike older leaded fuel. If you want your pump to last, it is essential to add a tiny amount of two stroke oil to the fuel (about an egg cup full to say 40 litres) and synthetic oil is best.

wlaidlaw Posted July 1, 2014 Share #6515 Posted July 1, 2014 No ideas about my mystery car? In its era it was regarded as a competitor for Rolls Royce but dribbled away to a sad end making cars with proprietary american engines as late as 1948.

Toshack10 Posted July 3, 2014 Share #6519 Posted July 3, 2014 Andreas... post your question on DDK-Online Free to register and a friendly bunch but many of them are at Le Mans this weekend taking their old Porsches for a run. Good luck.. but I'd also think upwards of 35k Euros 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted July 3, 2014 Share #6520 Posted July 3, 2014 Any chance of an Isotta Fraschini? In the period, probably a bit upmarket from Isotta Fraschini. They did not aspire to this sort of chauffeur driven market until the 1920’s and also a bit north of Italy. If you ever drive an Isotta, you would understand why they were usually driven by chauffeurs, no matter how sexy they looked. The steering is staggeringly heavy on the straight eight cars. It makes a Speed Six Bentley feel like it has power steering! The only other car I have driven with steering like that was Gunter Sach’s Mercedes 540K.
