Sometimes when these opportunities come along, you’ve just got to go for it! A 1999 996 which has had pretty much a nut and bolt resto a couple of years ago by a fellow forum member. It hasn’t really been used for the last 2 years but the previous owner added a new OEM tank and repainted the mono seat. I’ve had it in with Steve Jordan in Surrey for a mini recommission which included new belts, exact start cables, new starter motor, new reg rec and the oils and filters and coolant. It runs a treat!
That’s the one, it annoyingly has his initials on the other side but I don’t mind too much. His YouTube channel is great
I’ve got 70mm on mine. I’ve always been careful with noise until the old girl over the road had a pop at me over me sweeping leaves into the road (she didn’t realise I was then going to sweep them up). So just to keep her happy I leave it on tickover while I (slowly) put my gloves and lid on now.
Looks sweet! Out of curiosity do you know the changeover year to grey frame/grey five spokes? Cheers Grant
