Speedster

Post by mycar »

Fortunately I have quite enough Porsches for now but this looks rather nice. Don`t remember seeing a Speedster hard top before, I think it works really well, specially in the contrasting black. Nice wheels but is a starting price of 75k a bit steep for a car with the wrong engine ?

But have you seen the price some people ask for Rudge wheels these days, though? And a Glaspar hardtop in that condition. Yes, it's expensive but not far off what I'd expect in the current market.

I can't understand why you'd put a car like this on eBay, though… Not doing its image any favours IMHO.

Was the hard top an after market thing Keith, Glaspar suggests it`s glass fibre ?

Yes - but you could purchase it through dealers, I believe. Glassfibre, indeed.

My friend Delwyn Mallett has a one-off hardtop made in aluminium, which is great! Leaks like a sieve when it rains, mind you, but it looks good!

I thought that looked cheap for a genuine speedster .... even considering colour change ..... although will admit to not following recent prices too closely, I'd always assumed a nice speedster was around £100K

James, I think these days £100k gets you a decent convertible D :shock:

Another £20/30k gets you your Speedster! Through a reputable dealer, of course :wink: :)

I think some people just use ebay as a cheap world-wide advert for an interesting car. I don't think they actually sell many on it.

Cheers! :drunken:

Daft question but I wonder if the number plate is included? - alone it must be worth 30k?

60P or as a numperplate sales man would put it GO P?

I'd sell the plate and get the 'right' engine for it. then whilst not matching numbers has to be worth 100k?


shame I dont have the 75k to meet the reserve...

60 P isn't listed on the DVLA database – have the first and last numbers/letters been blanked out for the pics,maybe? :?:

115k - plus 23% buyers premium and less 23% sellers premium so the Bonhams man told me (20% +VAT) - car looked great in the flesh

great deal .....for Bonhams!
