Coastr Posted 1June, 2021 Report Share Posted 1June, 2021 Been driving my LHD a lot. Totally used to it, no issues at all. The ever present downer of speed cameras is a much bugger downer than what side of the car you sit on. Easy to place the car on tight roads. I even do the get out and run around at the office carpark. Then the le mans start to get through before the gate goes down again. No big deal all part of the masochism of driving an old, loud and inappropriate vehicle. one or two goes at it not enough to feel comfortable. Don’t be scared peoples you might end up liking it. BTW while you weren’t paying attention Qld dropped the min age for LHD to 25 years, meaning every single air cooled Porsche can be imported and driven LHD in QLD. Even the 993s. So if the thought of a 993 you can actually buy is appealing start trolling the international sites. MichaelF and Peter M 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the face of it seems like a nice idea. As for sale prices, I'd love to get insight into that. For me, the best I can do is monitor what actually disappears from carsales, v.s. what stays listed for months if not years. Owners of like models, including owners speculating on "the next future classic" can hype listings all they like - all fair game - but if a given car isn't moving, it's overpriced.

Two! 😁 It's still a hatchback Kurt .... sophisticated and capable shopping hauler for the family that has some scaffolding to tether the heavier bags to so they don't roll around. If you think she won't allow you, here's another approach.....float the idea of buying a 'normal' 968 - enter stage right is me with mine. You get her all excited and she says 'yes'. Soft compliant ride, auto mode for the city drives and manual mode for the weekend. She laps it up and gets really caught up. You keep the excitement alive but at last minute I decide against it. You cast about to find another.....you happen to come across this one and while "it isn't quite what you had in mind", you could be tempted. With a bit of urging and a little fake oscillating by you, she relents...... the 968 CS is yours. You have a window of 3-5 days. It's all in the sales pitch 🙂 Tips and TwoHeadsTas 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That centre console is original to that car. They were all basically custom orders so details vary a bit. ps. I’m still planning to scratch that itch.
