Harsh Posted 22August, 2023 Report Share Posted 22August, 2023 You need to see one in person to appreciate them. But the Muira is my dream car for looks. And the first matchbox car I ever owned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was one for sale at the melbourne expo around 2015. Lime green iirc and $750k and I seriously thought of doing it, hahha woulda coulda shoulda!

sleazius Posted 23August, 2023 Report Share Posted 23August, 2023 Duttons had one listed for ages, and CTS had that unicorn Aussie delivered one earlier this year. Definitely the dream car, but I imagine like banging the hottest girl, loses its lustre very quickly once you've achieved it. micknine01, Troubleshooter and Spets87 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bern Dog Experience Posted 23August, 2023 Report Share Posted 23August, 2023 My old 997.2 Carrera finally sold at Porschaden after 3.5 months! I still really miss this one, of course the 997.2 GTS in PTS Riveria Blue that I traded it for is on a different planet, but I know this is certainly not half the car for almost half the price! Matt held his price firm (online at least, but I am sure he dropped it slightly) as he knew it was a 9.5/10 condition wise and had Porsche warranty. Shows that in a slow market, good cars still sell eventually. Tips, Stepo, Harsh and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a realistic price too....considering the rarity of RHD 996.1 GT3's plus race history the value will only go one way however I need to fund some reno's (I can hear the collective groan...ha ha) & unfortunately can't keep them all.

GDC010 Posted 29August, 2023 Report Share Posted 29August, 2023 I had a very long ride in a Miura SV (one of the 2 Australian delivered ones owned by the pair of CTS founders) about 15 years ago. My recollection is that it felt incredibly low (as in, you look UP at a 1960s Mini Cooper), the heat from the transmission tunnel was extraordinary however the noise.... well that was epic. To look at, they are utterly gorgeous. To drive they are not as good as you'd hope, and to own, eye wateringly expensive. Would probably not say no to one if I was given it, but after leaving it in the garage for a few months to just soak in the shape, would very happily sell it for a huge range of other cars instead. sleazius, Carrera28, cafe_racer and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 4September, 2023 Report Share Posted 4September, 2023 Looks like a very nice car, but why no engine pic or any details about the mechanical side of it? That is an astronomical price, so you would expect an astronomical engine, and maybe a few more details in the ad? Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
