Gordon, thanks for posting to the community. These are great cars to pass to others who will honor them and or drive them as they were intended. The 912bbs forum is a great community of 912 owners and enthusiasts. They would love to hear about the cars if they don't know about them already. I can say from experience, trying to decide which car to drive on any given day or morning in S. Cal (the 912 or the VS) poses first world problems - in a good way. When I drive the 912, I experience history, balance and efficiency of the 1600. When I drive the VS, I experience the look and feel of a beautiful and raw open top iconic roadster but with a street 2276. I don't tend to use the doors on the VS. And the water-cooled 911, rarely gets driven.
