Mart proficiat!
en voor de liehbebbers die nog niet op de hoogte zijn: een kleine member intro:
From: Mart Boudestein, '66 Karmann 912 coupé, The Netherlands; Hello, hereby some more info about my black '66 Karmann 912 coupé. I purchased the car July last year (2005) from a dealer in Bridgeville near Pittsburgh PA (it was listed on Ebay. I won the auction. So I bought the car while I hadn't seen it in reality!) After a long shipping delay It finally arrived the third week of October in Rotterdam. The first impression was really good! Original tool kit, jack and owners manual were in the car. I asked CPR Almere (a Dutch classical PORSCHE-specialist) to do a check up and to prepare the car for the import test. The outcome of the check up was: The car had an original colour (6609) repaint (high quality job!), the front/nose element and front fenders are replaced (the new front element has the hole for the wiper/washer reservoir early cars hadn't). Condition of the coach is very good. Chrome is original and still very nice. The interior is also completely original and still in an extremely good, almost new condition. Original manufacturor mounted radio Blaupunkt Bremen (with all the owners documentation). Engine and transmission are also original (matching numbers). The extreme low mileage at the moment of purchase (26907 miles) was called correct! But...(there's always a 'but'...) the bottom was in a less good condition. It was dirty and showed some surface rust also. Some former sloppy welding work was discovered (small copper plates were used!). Immediate welding was necessary at two places. At the frontal mounting point with the subframe and at the left rear side near the torsion bar. After this work was done the car went through the import test without any problem. At this moment the bottom is completely redone and prepared. It was totally cleaned first, got an anti rust treatment (with Fertan) and a fresh layer of Tectyl. All hollow spaces were wax-oiled, even the insides of the doors. The car seems fully prepared now for the Dutch climate. Its a great car! I add some recent pictures.
