960 Hearse wanted - original. Not bothered about the decking in the back.

Might consider 940. Must be in good running order [ never raced or rallied ! ] and basically good bodywork.

Forgive me intruding, but are you the Beachcomber chap who does the excellent builds detailed on the Do The Ton forum?

I saw thi very tidy looking example on facebook the other day, see link below.

Hearse's are great! Although I wish we'd found a 960 with the 3.0 straight six, it would have likely saved us a lot of effort, money and time in changing the 2.0 in our 740 - not that it has been changed yet.

What are you plans for it? Ours will become a camper/motorhome, but is currently a utility vehicle - an extra large 'estate'! This is mone below.

Why thank you - That's me !!!! As with my 940 - ill health and life have slowed progress. But I'm getting there !

Also responsible for "Beachomber's Tales from the Day" under "Loungin' at da club.

Reminiscences from a Cafe Racer from the day[ me ! ] .... no 3rd or 4th hand BS...... as it really happened.

Almost 250,000 views so far. It's the basis for a book I'm writing of the same title.

If I had £3K spare it would be in my possession now ! It's more than tidy. 83K miles and not a blemish I can see. I passed on one just before I bought my current 940 ...... if only.

Yes, a radical ride, with a practical side. Lowered, Jag 8.5 x 16 wheels [ Gold of course ] and as much mayhem as I can extract from the silky 6 cylinder motor.
