There would of course be 924s, 944s and 928s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 14May, 2019 Report Share Posted 14May, 2019 That'll probably end up being one of the most expensive Porsches ever sold I reckon. $5 Jerry Seinfeld or Jay Leno goes after it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 14May, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 14May, 2019 Mega price. Maybe Ronaldo or one of the Kardashians will bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 14May, 2019 Report Share Posted 14May, 2019 I'd be surprised if it is less than 30m. I would have thought over 30m based on; 1. One of a kind 2. Built by Ferdinand 3. Owned by Ferry 4. So rarely traded There are going to be some very fat wallets battling it out to add that to the stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 14May, 2019 Report Share Posted 14May, 2019 Don’t think jay leno is in for big $$ collector stuff. I’m guessing he’d like it but not at those high costs. You hear him complaining his f1 is worth so much as he likes to drive his stuff. Don’t know about Seinfeld or how deep his pockets are. The buyer (if not Porsche) is likely to stay quiet.

Jerry is a billionaire so I don't think coin is a huge concern - although recently (last couple of years) hes been offloading P cars so it may not be of interest.

He seems to like the really rare cars like his Gmund/550/RSK etc etc. I do hope he gets it, as it will probably be driven... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to reply with - he's not worth *that* much but thought I would check first, and well, yes estimates put him at $950m, which is close enough I guess. Maybe he is a buyer then. Or maybe everyone will just let it go to porsche. Fun to watch. Checked Jay Leno while I was at it - they reckon he has $400m. Classic he still gets around in denim shirts and jeans. I'm now his no 1 fanboi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
