Congratulations mate, looks so good. Welcome to the white unicorn club 😎 James P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porsche AG got smart(er) with marketing the new "limited" but not limited cars...... The older ones will always have a place in someones heart - its the same with any "poster" car as a kid...... In my opinion (0.000002c worth) when Porsche finally announce no more ICE cars - any transitionary inflation will be set in stone, but only for a while. Its a cycle... All you have to do is look at older cars - try and sell a '32 hot rod or 50's Muscle car now... the people that wanted them are dead or close - everyone wants a 70's or 80's muscle car.... seen the price of a VL lately? Ever driven one? SMDH This of course doesn't count for 250 GTO's or 993GT2's.... Yeatesy, spiller and SS 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighthawk Posted 4September, 2021 Report Share Posted 4September, 2021 Looks like I’m following trend, sold a 1972 Torana XU-1 to buy a mid 80s turbo. Maybe skip the 90s for 996 gt3. Scott930, dominicxu1, Yeatesy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiller Posted 5September, 2021 Report Share Posted 5September, 2021 @James P awesome. Is this Greg Keene’s old nation’s cup car? BTW there is a white Mk1 CS here in Adelaide that was photographed at The Bend a few weeks back. Looked to have a bit of race patina, perhaps an ex NC car? pic below. I do not know the owner so out of respect have blocked out the plates. Cool looking car with the RS style wheels. Just great to see these old cars still being driven properly.

James P Posted 5September, 2021 Report Share Posted 5September, 2021 @spiller no it's the Mike Downard car which is great as its unmodified & no air jacks etc. I wish it was the Keene car as thats the one i worked on the most, we had 2 in the team one was used in NC & the other was used in targa style rallies. The one in your photo could be one of the cars in the team & id love to find out more about it if possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to do some digging on the SA car. I’ve never seen it previously, it’s very rare to see a 996 GT3 on track here in Adelaide James P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
