[scalino65]

because, my jedi chum, as you well know, it aint the size that matters its what you do with it that counts....

You keep telling Jess that and she may believe you one day. I know the real reason some people call you "Mr Inch" ........

its because my middle name is "twelve"...
shouldnt you be in a nightclub or something?

The same market will correct that mistake in a few years.

Your right - see below and IMO will continue to rise as these cars are rarer that the European Carreras.

Coupe sold for £85k stg and Targa offered for sale at £70k stg.

I nearly bought that car for about £55k a couple of years ago

But that's a 'proper' 2.7 with a proper engine. I have a mate with a similar car...must tsp him up about it...

Sorry i slightly misread your comment - the "proper" 2.7 with a proper engine - my point is that both the Euro and US cars are totally identical i.e. "proper" and share the same lightweight chassis, brakes, suspension, interior, transmission - only the engine differs and even then the crankcases, crank are identical with the main differences being pistons, cylinders, heads and induction system. So the US car is possibly a proper car without a proper engine?

I've had one of these [stolen last year] -OK not an RS engine - but as Robin says everything else the same!
Still a great deal comapred with an RS- and going up fast.
My insurance company [eventually] paid out last year twice the amount I paid for it in 2010 and that was well short of what I really needed to replace it.
Robin- shouldn't you by the pool with a beer instead of on here? You are still in France aren't you?

From what you are saying, the bits that are missing are the bits that make the euro Carrera special, aren't they? The main thing being MFI. A US Carrera probably has more in common with a C3 doesn't it? CIS, transmission, interior, chassis?

The force is strong on this one......
