The white US converted Carrera will be a lovely driver with all that MFI goodness Do you have contact details @James P? Ad being pulled means I can’t get his number or email to contact. White one by all accounts sounds like a nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

npvpositive Posted 3February, 2018 Report Share Posted 3February, 2018 Anyone managed to get a response from this "seller" or perhaps even know him? I've sent two enquiries with no response . . . even tried sending a message to Carcierge who he seems to be using to manage the sale . .. but again, no response. Really strange how people put up an ad and then totally ignore messages from a genuine potential buyer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a contact number for there if you need it. I’ve had a similar experience with a car listed in WA .... no response from numerous Enquiries. Very frustrating.

Crap int? Has a badge worth $2k (he says!) Any good?? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/282832620674?ul_noapp=true I have a strong suspicion that this isn't actually a Martini model. From a book I have "A Martini special edition of the 924 was on sale in spring of 1977 celebrating two world champtionship crowns earned by Porsche the previous year. All 1000 cars were painted white, had attractive Martine stripes and deeper pile, scarlet carpets". My NA 924 I had many years ago had the badge displayed in the photo and it was not a martini.. just a standard 924, suspect all 77 models were fitted with that badge. The decals are also not correct .. (nothing like the correct Martini decals), so if looking at this car proceed with caution.

Difficult car to value as its so far from original. The '89 930 with 993 t body kit sat at Bunnings for a fair while at $90k ish .. similar difficulty determining value on that one as well.

I remember seeing one of these many years ago when I had a 924 and if I recall correctly the stripes were down the side only and certainly not as over the top those stickers are.

Sounds like a Martini edition is a nothing-burger anyways - only claim to fame is some Martini stripes on the same form, a bronze plaque, 3000 of them and torsion bars. Nice to have a nice one for a toy if it landed in your garage for $10000 but no other real reason to chase one at excess $$$$$. Other nicer cars to spend your bucks on like a 944 or stretch to a 928.

Yep, the car on fleabay has wrong carpets, seat trimming, decals etc etc...
