I want to hate it, I really do. But something is drawing me back for a second, even third look. Kind of intrigued by the interior console treatment - I can only imagine what selecting the 'Macassar' options may have cost $$. It's kind of Wow. But weird and way too Gold at the same time. If the wheels were dark charcoal it wouldn't be so in your face. I think I'd like it then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Nordic gold metallic....it's orangey.....agree the wheels need color change to break up all that gold.......normal silver colour 4 spokes would look better imo Wasserkul package prob cost $30k upwards🤑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 28October, 2022 Report Share Posted 28October, 2022 Sport classic wheels in silver would break it up. That is one exy interior though. Someone went bananas with the exclusive program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make head nor tail of it as it's condition is um, perplexing. The aerial on the roof annoys me. I'd imagine some rust lurking around there too.

GDC010 Posted 30October, 2022 Report Share Posted 30October, 2022 I saw this at Alex Holland yesterday. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkP7OvBpJEQ/ 1987, local car. G50 box. 220,000 km and $265,000. Very clean and totally stock except for the wheels which are 1" larger and a little deeper. Absolutely lovely car. Red on black and very clean. I'm completely biased but these are brilliant to drive.

My issues would run a bit deeper than a bracket not painted black and a sticker in the wrong spot . So should be good to go with the $2 Mil all the issues sound like easy fixes I actually do know someone who sold one recently it actually had the incorrect gearbox fitted but still pulled big bucks on it .

Irrespective - way way way out of my league - I hope they get it AND it goes to a good home! reedminor and micknine01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGA Posted 3November, 2022 Report Share Posted 3November, 2022 Given the money at stake here and the wild variance in price there can be depending on some key factors, I would be on the phone to my friend Kobus Cantraine @kobus_cantraine and get him on a plane down here to inspect. Kobus is one of the worlds most knowledgeable guys on early model 911s (and especially 2.7s/2.8s) and is flown all around the world by prospective buyers to PPI cars. The cost of this would be minuscule to mitigate the risk compared what you might pay. Especially considering, the market pricing on these cars is global, not local, so paying a fair global market price would be imperative. mrar, Dalai, James P and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
