I thought you had a Polar 964 Anni that would never be prised from your fingers?

That went a few years ago to an acquaintance who after he'd fettled it further sold it to 911v. They since sold it again at just shy of £100k a few years back. Not bad for a 135k miles car albeit bulletproof provenance! Having said that I did alright out of it also enjoying a few laps around Spa with the 964 crew. Trouble is you make them too good and it spoils the fun.
A GT4 replaced it, going all modern
![rolleyes](/inc/images/rolleyes.gif)
The GT4 went last year after over 4+yrs to a private buyer who has now moved into a 992GT3RS and its now for sale with OPC Wilmslow I believe. Then in a moment of delirium I bought a cheap 718 Boxster thinking that near a third the price of the GT4 it could be twice the fun for daily use. I wouldn't pay £40k for one but mid 20s they're a lot of car. Then a colleague who picked up the Targa suddenly decided he was emigrating, off-loading everything and out of the blue he asked me if I wanted it. I didn't really need it alongside the 718 but felt I couldn't say no could I? Bodywork restored to within an inch of its life (in all the correct areas) by a previous owner who deserves all the credit in what was a bank account emptying experience. Original untouched engine and gearbox and mileage to put an Apollo moon lander to shame.
A 3.2 Carrera Targa. Who'd have thought it

Still got the 993 I see. You must have moved up several ranks in the 993 Illuminati by now. I still go checking 993s for wiper widgets
![rolleyes](/inc/images/rolleyes.gif)
Sounds as if you've had some fun with all that swopping about. I've stuck with the 993 so no fun whatsoever. And never had a wiper widget. The shame.
If I lived anywhere with decent weather I'd get a pre-993 Targa - love the shape.
Photo stolen from internet... even looks good in 'gold'..... mostly

I don't go looking for air-cooled, they just seem to find me.
So you have the 718 and the Targa?![](https://emoticons.datahamster.com/smokin.gif)

anyone likes a good looking RUF car for not that much? I think its cheap, its in France and this week even cheaper.
looks like new stil, also engine 290hp its on a 3.2 base RUF very tempting, but no big shed around here to buy and store.

more here, I would not be amazed if they would ask a 100k more for this car.

He means the horizon isn't straight. Do you remember the Pink Panther episode where he straightened a picture of a boat on a lake, and the water started to pour out of the picture followed by the boat?

Apologies for going off topic - made me think of this. I had to share. Surrealism at it's 1960s best.

Ah, okay. I’ll look that up. ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
I jumped out of the car and took the photo in a hurry before holding anyone up. That’s on the bridge across lake Vyrnwy
I'm not a 911 cabrio fan, but this WTL 964 cabrio looks good I think and ow, way cheaper then I thought for such.

It's, er, quite pink. But for a WTL cabrio, and a manual to boot, that's a bargain even for a slightly more common C00 car. It would make a great base for a mechanical restomod like mine, so long as you're happy with the colour. They drive rather well once they have proper suspension (KW V3) and a refreshed or enlarged motor.![](https://img.classistatic.de/api/v1/mo-prod/images/77/77b30c39-b47a-4c52-aaca-579ed755b3d4?rule=mo-1600.jpg)
