Dr Roberts (above) with his car.

We got this lovely e-mail and picture from the late Dr Roberts son James, regarding his Fathers car.

Dear Mr Fitzsimmons,
I was pleased to see my late father’s 911E is in good hands and hope it will continue to provide enjoyment and pleasure for those who use it. I was with him when he purchased it in ’73 and remember him phoning John Fitzpatrick shortly afterwards to arrange collection. Some 44 years later, it was touching to see Fitz reacquainted with the car. This was my father’s fourth Porsche, preceded by a 356c, 356sc (regretted selling..) and a 2.0 911S Sportomatic. He was quite an enthusiast and very much attached to the marque since the early ’60s.
The attached photo of car & owner taken around twelve years ago, I hope you can add it to your pictorial library of its ownership, though doubtless there will be plenty more to come in future years!
With best wishes.
James Roberts

One of the best early 911’s you will ever drive (my own personal car) only sold due to the purchase of the John Fitzpatrick car.

Paint gets cut back & machine polished until its like glass.

Bumpers getting a coat of colour

Our beautiful 964 is sold which is the general idea & therefore no surprise but it only moving to the Capital, which is great news so hopefully we will see it again.
