I know prices are on the up, but...

In what universe is £20k a reasonabe price for this? Private seller, it seems.

I'm happy to be educated if this is anywhere near a sane asking price. I would think for this to be an "investment" you'd have to wait about eight years for the market to catch up first.

Thoughts? But let's leave out the one about the price being what someone will pay for something.

Most sellers who talk of investment potential in their advert are hoping to take advantage of it in their own sale, leaving no hope for the buyer for years.

Now that's just taking the p**s, even in fantastic condition most 2.7's are, at a push, worth halve of what this car's being advertised. The concours entry guff is just that, guff...anyone can enter. Some years ago, one of my old Porsche's won its model/type class in the PCGB annual concours at Althorp House...and I hadn't even entered!

£6 or 7K tops

£20,500 - obviously a round £20,000 just isn't enough!!!

I think it's a fair price when you consider the rubber boot mat that gives amazing luggage traction.;)

[lowdrag]

He's entitled to ask what he likes. Whether he gets it depends on the sanity of those reading the advert.

[gforceg]

It's the gap between asking what he likes (his prerogative entirely) and what he actually expects to get is the question he needs to address.

If he seriously thinks that's a fair price it looks like he'll be disappointed.

Mentioning the fact it's on P6000s like that's a good thing...

Sold my 2.7 a year ago, in similarly superb condition and in Guards for just under £5k.
Looks like a was a fool

"I will reveal the first three letters and the original registration to interested parties"

What?!

The price is sufficiently deluded that I suspect he's been given orders by the missus to flog it.

Well, at least the buyer can rest easy knowing they will never wear out.

The guy is dreaming it's not even an S2! Half that would be ambitious.

Hence my suspicion that he's resisting domestic orders. "Look dear, I've put it on the market. I can't understand it, no-one's calling..."

Quite the most hideous tyre I've ever had the misfortune to have on a car......just beating the set of Firestone S660's I put on one of my RS2000's, which at least did wear out relatively quickly!!

I did wear a front set of these out on my Alfa recently, the tyre man was very surprised. Since fitting Goodyears I can now go around corners effectively. Needless to say the pair on the back look fresh as a daisy......awful tyres.
