Well after securing the deal on the red 964 3.3t with 23k miles i can finally relax,the car is like new and i guess there wont be many in this condition,just cant wait to take it out,and would like to thank Paul Stephenes for an email( offering it to me for £55k) that lead me to this car as it was not advertised,finally just want to say a big thanks to the owner for keeping this car in original mint condition!

Thanks guys,my head is swelling lol! No i have not sold the white 3.3t just sat in the garage next to the NSX and GTS.I always wanted a red 930/964t and when this one came avalible i had to get it.What i paid for it was less than Paul Stephens offered it to me,and best of it all was i only had to drive about 44/50 miles from home,how good was that.I will pick it up Monday morning depending on what the weather condition, if it rains then I will wait for a dry day,well thats what the plan is but the temptation will always get the better of me and i suppose rain or shine i will have to bring her home on Monday,lol.

Only ever seen it in pics, but it cetainly looked mint. So i guess the red one if going to be the garage queen/sunny day car and the white one as more a daily driver?
No the white 964 is a garage queen as well,but look at it this way, i now have a choice of very sought after cars and can pick and chose which one to drive,the NSX is some machine,not to keen onits looks but it nails the Porkers!(sorry but true)

Have you guys seen the 964t on classifeids its done 133k miles and asking £30k.So thats what you get for around £30k,this car hsa been on Autotrader for a week or so aswell.To be fair it seems like the owner has spent a few quid on it,but £30k for 130k miles seems quite allot to me.

I was offered the above car. I believe Olly the owner posts on here, he does post on 911uk.com and I know there are more photos on there and it does look good. When compared to the black car with the rollcage it seems much better value IMO.

Have you seen the following LHD car with only 48k on it?

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1903992.htm
The silver one is'nt all that,as a friend of mine has been to seen it when listed on ebay,surley with that sort of miles and that sort of money and being a LHD which seem to be commanding more than the RHD then it should have been snapped up.And as far as the purple/blue one goes thats a tramp!

Was it you that went to see it?
Went to see this tramp in late October/November what a joker the owner was,told the owner dont start the car up till we arrive,guess what? it was running when i got there.Forget this car unless you get it for £17k to max £20k,and why did the owner have a very poor respray?

Suprised to hear that.
The NSX should be about 280odd BHP, 3.3T is 320ish.
Compared to a 400BHP RS4, my T2 is pretty much identical in straightline speed.
Porky my white 964t 3.3 is 400bhp and the NSX keeps up with her no problems, so this standered one has little but no chance!

Thats interesting.
The factory figures say otherwise.

NSX

0-60 5.6 0-100 13.9

T2

0-60 4.9 0-100 12

You sure your porker is running right?
Try the NSX and watch youre jaw drop! AR we know what a NSX is capable of!

Try keeping up with this one:

And how much have you spent on this car and is it standard? Why do Porsche owners get upset if there is somthing else out there that is equally as impressive,i am not knocking the porsche as i have three, GTS and two 964 3.3t.Common guys give credit where it is due!

Is yours a later model as I think they have 320BHP?

MTR
I would say its 320bhp.The difference between the two is,the white 964 (400 bhp)is much quicker than the red standerd (320bhp).Driving them both back to back the red one just drives like a brand new car.

How exactly do you mean drives like a new car?
I guess the fact its on 17`s vs 18 might feel a littel different but steering should be much the same, no?
Come and have a drive of both cars.

Not a dig, but how do you find the lack of sport seats in your red one?
It does come with sport seats.
