Yes, you're absolutely right of course. I suppose what I was getting at was the implicit idea that owning a 'collection' of cars must inevitably be the ultimate dream of all car enthusiasts. Personally I can't think of anything much less exciting than having a big shed full of seldom used vehicles, except perhaps collecting stamps. But each to his or her own, as you say.

Hmmm, bid at $100K already? It's a crazy world we live in...
Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
especially if Obi Wan Kenobi was right & it's still cursed. Wonder what's prompted the sale...

Only looked at the pictures briefly - but find a 1972 2.4S & then add up the cost of all the upgraded/modified parts & see what figure you arrive at.
That's not taking account of any labour costs.
- shame they took the easy route & fitted a modern Prototipo ...

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
I'm not saying it didn't cost a lot to do, but is it worth the sum of the bits now?

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Roughly twice what the similar beige ddk made on there a few weeks ago isn’t it?
Spec? Luck? Orange?
Spec? Luck? Orange?
964 C2 Targa. 205 1.6 GTi. Testarossa. Fisher Fury Fireblade. Motorhome. Motorbikes. Scooters. Pushbikes. Threadbare Saucony Peregrines. Dog. Human relations and friends. 97.5%-built house.
Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
I agree that orange is a good colour but the beige car was very similar. There isn’t much left of the S stuff. Would be cheaper to get a rust free T and make it S Spec. Use the best of the available parts and you have yourself an epic car for a lot less money. Not sure what you would call it.....maybe an ST?

There's no logic when it comes to auction prices & what a particular car sells for - you only need 2 serious bidder who are determined to buy it.

I remember well how pleased we were for you Andy, when you auctioned the 904...
What a bargain that seems now!

Books are for reading
Cars are for driving!
I don't agree with the contention that a 30 year old car which has done 6000 miles or whatever is like new. It was designed for perhaps a 15 year life and its been sitting around for twice as long, many materials will have deteriorated as a result.
