Well the advertiser is from Tullah, what else did you expect????

Rob, interesting that you are considering the S in the 986 and non-S in the 987. Is this based on prices or some other reason? Might be a good idea to define your price range, as there will be expensive 986S and cheap 987S for probably similar money. It was interesting reviewing CarSales prices that our 987S was the cheapest '05 987S listed, but there were 986S listed for similar prices (different mileages etc, and for some reason owners of black cars think they are worth more too). Subject to settlement from our purchaser's finance company this week our car is sold, if it falls through it may be of interest to you. The 6 speed gearbox in the S is magic, so you definitely should try for an S of either model, but, of course personal preference will determine whether you like the look of the 987 or the 986. In our case, we spent the extra 10k to get the 987 when we bought it 5 years ago.

All will be revealed in due course Adam, when all details finalised 🙂

all will be revealed in probably a week or so when pre-purchase stuff is completed 🙂

Car will be purchased in a registered state.

Apply the dirty rotten sticking import + LHD reduction makes it more affordable....

no 🙂

996 GT3, so a middle sized 911 🙂 Would be a once a week drive probably, definitely not to the drive through either...

Sorry, inspected last Friday, very impressed. Owner is having a couple of very minor bodywork things sorted and then car will be polished up. Also inspection for logbook being arranged, and then will be registered. If not done by time I'm ready for a drive we can use trade plates vendor has. Will then get my mechanic to give it a run through and hopefully finalise the deal, but I need to put my 996 C2 up for sale in the mean time. Best part, didn't get a "No" from management when topic was raised 🙂 Will provide further details when I've done the deal 🙂 🙂

Anyone currently doing this care to comment on difficulties, pitfalls and experiences? One I can see straight away is difficulty in seeing ahead to overtake a car on a single lane road, requiring either passenger input or hanging back a bit more to see

That one has been very recently re-registered - latest rego no. sequence, but don't know whether you can read anything into that. It is far down south, anyone interested may be able to talk ANF or Tazzieman into having a look over it for them. And yes, some great road to be driven on during a return trip to the mainland.....

I am going to check it out and get some detailed info on history before responding in any detail. Even if history and details prove to be incomplete it could still be a hell of a lotta fun 🙂

OK brains trust. An opportunity may arise - what value would you place on a dirty stinking import 2000 LHD?

There's only so many photos you can take of the outside to give you an idea. No clear photos of interior or boot/ frunk. May be a bit worn???? but for the money, who cares.........

I didn't look at it in too much detail as it was a quick trip in, and I wasn't buying (unfortunately). Interior and exterior looked quite neat, and presume most of the $25k was on engine internals which I wouldn't have been able to see. I didn't discuss it much as I was just walking around looking....
