The Collecting Cars Porsche thread…

Didn't Singer say that they were stopping the Porsche Singer 964's ??

Of course Canepa are doing the same with 959's ... eek. Last sale at a cool $3m ...

If it's been stored and recommissioned after it 'went missing' for the annual servicing then it's no biggie. Although it does question if it was last serviced in 2006 and next at 2021 why it was still used and MOTd from 2006 up to 2012-13 and not serviced? The mileage from 2006-12 is negligible, but it has been used and as we all know these cars are so easy to run with a second speedo that can be dropped in in 5mins so I'd do your due diligence. From the general pics it does appear to support low mileage.

For the fastidious 993 'Illuminati' owner it will be a red flag as will be the missing wiper widget. The 993 buyer/owner mentality is unique, it's not the same with 964 and earlier buyers/owners.

Looks like a driver, rather than show car. It'd make a nice project car for someone, though I'd want to check out why the leading edge of the bonnet/trailing edge of the front bumper fit is less than stellar.

Looks ok, apart from that odd front PU fitment.

But not ideal - it has the later long-ratio gearbox.

ETA actually, the front screen fitment looks poor from the photos - so that might be the start of significant spend for the new owner, of if she's lucky, maybe just a refit.

I bid to a point then stopped,
The car had done zero miles in 4 years, yet managed a service and 4 mot tests (one being a retest)
That’s a lots of trips back and forth to the garage without a single mile being added.

Nothing as odd as a Porsche 993 coming up to 100k miles.

Exactly that ... my 944 has just been MOT'd with the same mileage as last year ... I never noticed that whilst the speedo works fine the odometer had stopped. It doesn't do a high mileage so ...

Now being repaired !!

As it's a trade sale, you'd best ask them - the tyre valve stems don't look like hollowspoke metal ones, but tyre-fitters who don't know what they are doing can put rubber ones in hollowspokes, either through ignorance or to save money, so I have heard.

A bit of a poor show to only replace one foglight with a new one.

Apart from that, it's really difficult to see anything of the bodywork as the car was parked next to a lovely 1960s building, so you can only see reflections of brickwork etc.

Superb buy at that price if it’s ok underneath (nothing to show that it isn’t). A group I’m in says it was bought by a dealer though.
