Saw that car at the Adelaide rally, bloody rapid piece of kit so it’s worth a lot more than your average SC that’s for sure.

I do like these, had one as a track car many years ago. Huge fun 👍 What else is in the herd then?

Yep, that’s Interesting but true, there’s some delusion across all the Porsche models wrt values. I was offered a 924T recently that although highly original, is in need of a paint job and has a running fault with the turbo so couldn’t be driven properly. Owner had seen the minter at CTS advertised for $30k and told me he wanted $15k for his “because mine is about half as good as that car so it’s worth half as much” Hmmm. I was thinking more like a generous offer of $8k, sadly that didn’t quite meet the sellers expectations. He wants to sell so he can restore another car he’s more interested in, sadly he’s been told by Richmond’s and CTS that his car’s worth way more than anyone else thinks, so he’ll be looking at it on his driveway for quite some considerable time is my view. If it were me I’d sell and invest it into the the car he really wants, but then that’s just me....

930 and the turbot hot rod might cover it 😉 2 out 1 in 👍

One for @GUT https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1987-porsche-911-turbo-8/ Sell a couple of the others, gotta be worth it 😉😎

Fast road Targa is what I’m aiming for, nothing better than punting along early on a cold morning, roof off 👍😎

Stuart’s good, looks after my car and I have absolutely no complaints. Others have their preferences and that’s fine, but with them being a forum sponsor it’s good to support them back.

Summer of 1977 in the UK, we lived in what’s now the land of the premiership footballer, Wilmslow in Cheshire. Seeing fast cars was a common thing for me, but as a family we raced and rallied old Mini Cooper’s and Ford Escorts so cars were always a thing for me from very young. My best mate at school, his Dad always had daft cars and just before summer he’d bought a massive Lincoln Continental, blue with a white vinyl roof. Used to block the road every morning when he dropped him off at school outside our house, my Dad always took the piss out of him with it. They were both pretty successful businessmen so cars were always changing, but this Lincoln was just comedy. Anyway, roll on the end of summer and my mate says “Dad’s getting a new car, he’ll pick us up in it later and we’re all going for a drive, apparently only us 2 can fit in the back because the seats are small”. We were 6 years old, it was a Saturday morning the week before we went back to school and the sun was out (that one day a year when the sun shines). He turned up in a brand new black 911 Turbo. It just looked insane, fat and bewinged thing. Dad & I piled in and we all spent the rest of the day ripping round town in this thing. Speed limits were ignored back then as was any form of running the thing in, he drove it like he’d stolen it. That day lived with me, the big thump in the back as the turbo kicked in and us kids feeling we were important because we were the only ones who could fit in the back 😂 I couldn’t ever justify or afford having one as an everyday car, my cars were always workhorses. Promised myself a Sierra Cosworth by my 25th birthday and got that. An E46 M3 by the time I was 30 (didn’t quite get that, took me another couple of years) but the 911 was always there at the back of my mind. Drove a C4S when I had the M3, but doing 30,000 miles a year in the construction game I couldn’t justify the running costs, but it set me off again. Then the GFC came about and I went through 2-3 years of uncertainty with work and travelling massive distances, so a 2nd car was definitely off the cards. I was running the Range Rover Sport I still have now, working on cross country pipelines so I needed the 4WD. Then we moved here and I started looking again in 2012. Prices hadn’t gone nuts, but we were saving to buy a house here. Got the cash together for a 911, then we found this house in 2015 and that needed the Porsche fund. Rented a 911 for a weekend just to see if I still liked them, that was fatal. Then 6 months later we found what’s now my 911 in the warehouse it had been sat in for 20 years. Luckily it took me a few months to persuade him to sell, which gave me time to save up a bit and we bought it. So it took me nearly 40 years to get my 911. Don’t intend ever being without a 911 now, they’re just great.

You’d be surprised. I found mine in the warehouse where it had resided for 20 years, owner reckoned he knew of at least 3 more scattered around the same industrial estate that hd been there for similar lengths of time. Wouldn’t elaborate on exact whereabouts, but these are old guys who’ve owned units since they were built in the 80’s. Finished them up as working businesses years ago, but still hold them for storage and never open the roller doors....

I would go for a look, but that car’s in Sidaknee ya loon 😉

Loving the wheel finish, wanted that on mine 👍

@Simonkthese will go on your car. Anyone else looking, having recently put a set of these on my car the difference in power delivery is very noticeable. Great addition to any 3.2

RUF01 is the car AndrewW bought and yes, based on my conversation when I tested the car for him I’d say you were correct about him selling more cars.

Wheel Solutions in Richmond.

That’s the guy AndrewW bought his from, I recognise the garage.
