Which one???
I bought an accident damaged 86 Jaguar XJ-12 VDP from a realtor who ran into a pickup while driving drunk. The car was impounded and he used the proceeds of the sale to pay to get it out of impound.
I restored the Jag and called the realtor to see if he wanted his personal items out of the car. He told me that he wanted another Jag and I told him this one was for sale. He laughed at the idea that he would buy his car back... I made sure that I drove the car when I returned his stuff and he HAD to have it back.
Eventually we worked out a deal where I would pay off the repairs to his low mile 87 944 at the Porsche dealer and we would trade straight across the Jag for the 944.
I drove the 944 for a year and kept an eye out for a 911. Eventually I found my first 911 here in pelican.

I borrowed my brother's truck, hooked up my trailer and headed to Columbus Ohio to pick up my 911...
