Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Amazingly it’s thoroughly legal in a traditional auction to take ‘bids off the wall’ until the reserve. I guess the theory is that if it doesn’t meet the reserve it won’t sell anyway so where’s the harm, but I reckon it’s still highly questionable as a genuine bidder can be misled into thinking there’s other interest when there’s not really.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Hopefully it's a one-off i plan to look for a 964 cabrio over the winter - something like Boydys old speedster- has to be a cool colour or black!

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Would you consider a Targa? If so I’m happy to accept the same as that coupe sells for. The targa was more expensive when new, but I’m not greedy.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
I see loads of tiptronics and open tops come up around the £45k+ mark. I'm mot surprised this relatively rare coupe manual fetched strong money.

I think there were something like 9000 ROW 1990 Carrera 2 Coupes built - not what I'd class as rare ...
Looks a nice car but £90k ?!!

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Loads of those scrapped when they were worth f all …. resto moding has destroyed loads too or of course singer buying up what they can
You’re right though not rare in the traditional sense, but no getting away they are the air cooled everyone wants these days.
Recently, it’s only really my 964 that people come up to me at cars and coffee meets to chat about and one even saying it was his car of the day ! ( these are non Porsche meets so your general car enthusiasts) …. Of course that might be the shock of a pink interior.

Sign of the shift in demographics, why is it a shock that a lowish mileage 964 sells for £95k but you wouldn’t be shocked if it was a ‘73T at that money. Arguably the 964 is a far better car and far more useable, and at 32 years old most definitely a classic PorscheLightweight_911 wrote:.

I wouldn’t part with mine for that money.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
James is dead right. When they were £10k they got parted out and because they’re so useable lots have been well used and not yet rebuilt, so a RHD low mileage car is fairly rare.Lightweight_911 wrote:.

It’ll happen to 996s. They made loads, but they were so good people used them like they’d use a 3 series, rather than like they’d use a 355, so most are worn out and would be too expensive to restore. A sensible mileage £25k C2 pre facelift 3.4 will be a £50k car inside 5 years.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
I happen to think the early 3.4 with the original headlights will really fly in years to come, price-wise. Really beautiful-looking cars. The GT1 headlights will come to be seen as their best feature. No bore scoring nor IMS problems. Cable throttle. My 2001 996 Turbo is an awesome car. An instructor came around Curborough as a passenger at the weekend to show me the racing line. I think he got a bit of a fright.Sam wrote:It’ll happen to 996s.

Early RHD 912 - potentially sensible money?

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Blue cheapie with really nice tartan seats. RHD so probably a rust-bondo-respray catastrophe, but worth a look if you're local maybe.
