You couldn't look like more of a tt if you just decided to donate the 20 large to Mr Trump's presidential campaign.

Zeemax stuff was bloody pricy and pretty well made though.

Lose the god awful rear wing and the front splitters and that has a certain Koenig-y vibe I could smile at, at a show.

Wouldn't own it though.

Per the earlier musings. I'd think a breathed on 994 S2 with a few k chucked at it would be as handy as a 968.

I'd still rather have another Caterham.

I think you'll find the correct answer is that Sir should have a Caterham and a Porsche.

hat's exactly what people said when 964RSs were being punted at £23K a few years ago.

So get ready for the £50K 205GTI in a couple of years ...

Definitely world gone mad.

I can't catch my breath, I keep looking at the ad and it states £22,950 each time I look at it. I think I need to get an eye test.
I sold mine for £1600 quid!!

Order restored, just found a 230bhp BDR

Those punchy heel 'n toes and the Pascha almost had me there.

This is just getting stupid now. A Cooking 996 Carrera is an infinitely better steer than the 968, and half the price.

No it is not...

How do I know - last time I opened the garage door at home I could see a 1150kg 320bhp/370ft lbs 944 Turbo race car and a 996.1 GT3 CS K400. The 944 never fails to put a silly grin on my face... So does the GT3... One is not infinitely better than the other. They are so different. In fact, the only common things are the badge and that they are BOTH amazing analogue cars, the likes of which will never be made again by any car manufacturer.

Awesome engine. Despite earlier comments, I'd take that over an R500 any day...

One of my favourite car memories: for a friend's stag do, we got together a few cars, including a BDR-engined Westfield (on old tyes) and hired Curborough for the day... I had an Elise but all I wanted to do was drive the BDR...

Lucky I don't have £16k in the Bank. Can't get the idea of that BDR car out of my head.

I was trying to find an image of a guy lying under the front of a Caterham in a pool of oil to dissuade you.

I remember well the heroic efforts of a couple of guys in a BDR Caterham on a Dijon-Prenois double header track day. With the clutch having failed on the Saturday morning, they managed to fit a replacement overnight working in the pit garage with the tools they had taken with them for the trip.

But he said a 968 cals and a cooking 996.

Neither of which you have mentioned

Having driven a cooking 996, and a cooking 944, I think he's right.

Well, I am comparing the two extreme versions of the cars... So, again you could say it is apples and apples. I would go as far as to say that personally I would find a well sorted LHD 968CS to be the better steer than a standard 996C2 in everything but a long motorway cruise...

Surprised there are any BDR's left here, most went to Japan. Maybe oil is more plentiful over there.

I was chatting with a mate of mine about exactly this the other day. Double taking on car prices. He sold his 964RS for £25k back in the day when nobody wanted them.......
