There was a Speedster Carrera at PR Services last week, belonged to a member of the Piech family.
Paul said it was worth around 450k.... :roll: I knew he wasn`t joking at the time but still found it difficult to compute. Turns out he was on the money.

Reading the article about Fred Hamptons Carrera in Kieths magazine, reveals that Porsche offered a warning that these engines shouldn`t be driven a low revs for any length of time, so no popping to the shops in it then. :)

356 aspirations ? Chance would be a fine thing :)

No, I just popped down with James to collect his silver car. I walked round goggle eyed at this place stuffed full of desirables but I came away thinking one Porsche was quite enough for a man like me. Glad I went though. Pr Services is a bit of an iconic place,from the small swing sign on the roadside to the setting and style of the workshop, bit like stepping back into the 50`s just for a moment.
