jakroo Posted 28July, 2018 Report Share Posted 28July, 2018 5 hours ago, XLR8 said: Yeah, I really don "get" why every seller seems to think a Martini is super special/awesome. Just stickers and interior really. No different to other items that are factory fitted options I guess. The other point of view ie the sellers perspective, is that it was a factory tweaked vehicle and is quite rare. Yes, it could be simply a sticker kit and they used a different colour dye in the interior BUT it was special issue by the factory. Maybe it's more like the occasional non 'black/white/grey/silver/beige' Porsche. Someone goes crazy and buys a blue one. It becomes special!

JLD Posted 11October, 2018 Report Share Posted 11October, 2018 So from what I read, it's basically a 924 that was delivered new in the UK with some stickers that are now not on the car. And he expects a premium for it. 3legs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The martini status really brings nothing to it, actually I think it hurts it, because so much of that original Martini stuff is missing! As us former/current 24 owners know, it is hard enough getting the most basic of parts for interiors! Really, $2-3K if lucky.. 3 hours ago, Ozvino said: You forgot the infamous plaque - worth thousands alone....... hes got friction burns from tugging it so hard So its not just the cars undercarriage with corrosion?

The sellers comment regarding the interest from other Porsche owners is something that I have also experienced. Had my SC and 924 at the Noosa Beach car show a few years back. Spent the whole day talking 924s with various people, nobody had any interest in my 911 as it was one of many in attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was a good price. $12k for a car that (it sounds at least) is in pukka condition. I am not surprised it didn't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
