Apogee Posted 28September, 2016 Report Share Posted 28September, 2016 Spotted this beauty in what I think is a car storage service along with some other nice cars like a 997 GT3. Only took pics of the GT however because of the reflection from the glass window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-S Posted 28September, 2016 Report Share Posted 28September, 2016 Looks like the one that was on display at MotorClassica last year, in front of the Porsche Melbourne stand. Driven on trade plates I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted 1October, 2016 Report Share Posted 1October, 2016 Why can't they be made legal to drive in aus on regular plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted 1October, 2016 Report Share Posted 1October, 2016 Left hand drive would be my guess ...........but in saying that I know it is not an issue with old American muscle to be left hand drive and driven on club rego ........ I am going to the Gosford museum tomorrow shall get some images on the one they have on display .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philbee Posted 2October, 2016 Report Share Posted 2October, 2016 Why can't they be made legal to drive in aus on regular plates? When the GT was first released, here in oz left-hand drive wasn't legal I think. Laws since then hav changed as we know... So maybe it could be driven on the road now....

TrevMcRev Posted 2October, 2016 Report Share Posted 2October, 2016 From the thread title I was all excited thinking it was a 924 Carrera GT.... what a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe it could be driven on the road now....Has to be 25 years old to be driven LHD, the rules haven't changed on this in the last 12ish years since the Carrera GT release. I see. Would be a waste to not be able to drive one of these here simply because it was left hand drive....A LHD drive has to be 25 years old to be driven on the road (at least in Vic). Each state is different but I don't believe any less stringent. Spotted this beauty in what I think is a car storage service along with some other nice cars like a 997 GT3. Only took pics of the GT however because of the reflection from the glass window. Is this the corner of Orong and High in the old car dealership (think it was Opel and before that Honda)?

Apogee Posted 4October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 4October, 2016 I don't know but the place is called Carcierge (a play on the word concierge) is probably not a dealer but a storage facility judging from the business name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Knight Posted 10October, 2016 Report Share Posted 10October, 2016 Whoaa the Gosford Museum in on my list now as a must visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Phil Posted 10October, 2016 Report Share Posted 10October, 2016 The place in Armadale is just around the corner from my daughters place. I saw it a few weeks when I was on the number 6 tram going down High street to visit her and I too noticed the GT from my vantage point in the tram. Was planning on walking there this week to have look inside. I thought it was a dealer as it never appears to be open so the storage facility suggestion seems the go. Will still go there though just to have a look through the window. There seems be some nice machinery in there from my quick observation from the tram Ok this is what the place is....http://www.carcierge.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take care of your servicing, rego, insurance, maintenance, etc, etc for the well healed and less enthusiastic that don't have the time to do so themselves. I think they plan on getting in to vehicle sales also as a JV with another party. Talking to friend of the owner, they seem to be doing quite well...

Lucky Phil Posted 10October, 2016 Report Share Posted 10October, 2016 Sounds like something I would like to do. I have a friend who has a storage facility but he does not go to the same lengths as this company. My friend stores cars and also has a roller system so as all cars are run a few klms on the rollers each week or so and then you get a report on line saying why there are a few extra few klms on the clock.Cars are stored in a warehouse facility and are individually covered too. All a great service if you are overseas (or otherwise disposed) for a period of time.I think there is a growing market for this form of service but somewhere in between Carcierge and my friends facility. Maybe something I will look into when I retire from my 9-5 job next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOKA Posted 11October, 2016 Report Share Posted 11October, 2016 a great service if you are overseas (or otherwise disposed or in the Big House) for a period of time. ^ Fixed.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 11October, 2016 Report Share Posted 11October, 2016 Wonder if that's what the new place here in Adelaide is doing. Storage facility. Richmonds I think it's called. Plenty of high end cars in there anyway, including Ferrari Daytona, new GT3RS and a few other nice 911's, Lambo Huracan etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
