[Sepia911S]

Hello everyone,

I am just fine and the car is, too. I just got old. I am 75 but don't look 75 nor act 75. It is just the right time to sell Sepia. My shifting has slowed down and increasing I worried about some idiot rear-ending the 911S and destroying that powerful engine.

It was incredibly hard to start the 911S one last time and back her down the driveway. My dream is to find someone who wants something more than just a very nice early 911. Hopefully, it will still be driven, carefully, in 2073.

More to come,
Candyce

You have been a very good caretaker, I am sure you will find a good buyer for such a well cared for automobile.

. . . I am just fine and the car is, too. I just got old . . .

We'll all get there sometime, Ms Candyce. We only get to have our cars --- or anything . . . for a little while

Our cars are destined to out-last us (hopefully) . . .

. . . that's just how it is



Meanwhile --- thank you for coming here and sharing your car with us while you had it

(Hopefully the Next Lucky Owner will, as well)


Your car is spectacular --- and I hope your BaT auction knocks it outta the park!
