I don't think I'd want a C4 and it's a lot of money, but it is very pretty.

I'm sure, but it just doesn't quite fulfil the 911 dream for me.

Cool.

a nice car, but really £325,000.00?!!!
no, I had the opportunity to buy a LHD TTS for £45k

it's just a heavy, stiffer TT although it is a rare car
I can't tell my Leichbau from my 993 Turbo S but is the £325k one above the same as this one coming up at auction with an estimate of £390-420k?



Down in the more sensible price points, this looks sensibly priced in the current market at £30k. Although judging from some of the pictures, it's had an interesting life...

Well there we go. I think we have a new record holder for the complete fk up Ive made when not buying the cars I should have done. The Speed Yellow 964 Turbo S I could have bought 10 yrs ago for £60k is now "worth" upto £400k.

Even by my standards of inept uselessness - that is an epic cock amount of cock up.

CS has already hit 300.

The low mileage one at JCT sold, reportedly, for 380.

SLK32.

Only made 250 in rhd. Currently at £8k. 15 yrs old so right at the bottom now.
Griff genuine BVs will only get more expensive from now on. When we all laughed at Fernies for charging £30k for one of the last 100 - they won't get cheaper.

Z3M's will start moving up properly soon also I think.

928 GTS and GT only just started their increase. I think they will double in the next 2 yrs.

Z4MCs seem to be on a slow but sure rise over the last year. I have a 22k mile car that I picked up for 17 last year so feeling positive. This one isn't mine.

They only made 250 rhd.
Sledgehammer 350 ponies.
Coupe & cabriolet.
£8k NOT £26k.

Don't be a lawyer. There is nothing special or unique or any reason whatsoever for it to command 26k currently. The market is beyond insane if they are appreciating to those levels already. And if they aren't and someone just wants to pay that money now then they are bonkers. Beyond bonkers.

They're not making any more long bonnet short arse tricky handling coupes with 340bhps of the best normally aspirated straight 6 ever made. They will rise it won't be astronomical but it will happen. Bonkers is all of the pork going for hundreds.

I just can't get on with the E34. I really want to, but there's something about it that just doesn't feel right to me. The E28 feels like an old car, the E39 feels like a (relatively) modern car. The E34 sits in a no-man's-land somehow.

Which is a shame, as what I'd really like is to take an M50 Touring and drop the S50 that's sitting in my garage into it.
