26k mi, hexagon asking £60k.

A 928 aint no 911.

I happen to like them but they're a long legged GT and are not terribly "widow making"

Miles is lord and Hexagon like to charge..

60k? see title!

bought for £35k from Hairpin Co. I was offered it! those are the margins they're looking for. incredible

GT2 look? Its a bloody narrowbody!

However, with some small modifications to turn the volume down a bit, that might be a nice thing.

GT2 was a wide body with huge arch extensions aswell!

Mind you, its been a long day for me too, so I might be talking about a Nissan Juke....

I've been looking a few weeks now and there is a definite race to find the lower mileage cars by traders so you can only assume its still very very profitable but not enough good cars to go round. I haven't as yet viewed anything although i have two cars pending test drives with private sellers once available

Here's a tastefully modded 993 where the evolution and years of Porsche's progression through racing has clearly been improved apon by a gentleman who has an eye for style and quite exceptional taste.

Does it say Vaj on the bottom of the door? Quite apt if so.

So if you can't quite stretch to an £80k rebuilt 3.2 and only have £70k then I would avoid buying any boring unrestored stock a/c 911 and make a bee line to this little cracker.

thats funny actually, i looked at the pictures and thought the backdrop looked a bit rough and like Keighley, lo and behold on reading the advert thats where it is lol! some seriously shady car dealerships in the area, altho i'm not suggesting that car is connected to any.

Good spot! If someone bites all well and good if not no bother. Fancy a manual 430 or 360 Coupe as I've never had an Italian exotic and do not have garage space for all of them. I have a 964 C2 and 997 turbo too so 911s coming out of my ears! Rationale is that if restored cars like the Paul Stephens and JZM car are £70k-£80K then honestly this is miles better as an original no rust no accident repair lovely spec car with full history. Hairpin Co have bought and sold her on a few occasions and when I bought my 964 C2 off them Hairpins owner a lovely fellow called Neil Dickens told me he thought she was a goodun. Thanks of the exposure. Not sure I'll actually be able to part with her if someone wants to buy her as I'll struggle to find a similar spec car which has only ever had front end resprayed by Tuthills due to stone chips. lol

Great looking car.

Do you prefer your 964 to the 3.2 from a driving perspective?

A proper car for all the money.

I think your price is well over book but best of luck to you. Yee can only but try.

I know what you mean re letting it go. I couldn't sell mine and I reckon mine's in the same condition if not even better. Never had paint and don't need it! Mine was Charles Marsland's (PCGB 3.2 Register Technical guru) and had a 7 page spread on it in Porsche 911 world. It is a basically a reference car. Even has the factory barcode sticker on the N/S door post. No kidney bowl stinkness on my G50!

I think the 3.2C is the better and more honest drive. Only keeping the 964 C2 as its far easier for the Mrs to drive. Honestly not bothered if the 3.2C doesn't sell - not sure if I can see myself in a Fezza.

She's a beauty - lovely colour! From my experience and I've driven everything from a 2.7RS to 930 to a 964 the 3.2C G50 is a sweet spot! Pretty rapid when she lifts her skirt up too!

Fully agreed. The G50 box in the torsion 911 is the best of the lot. Period. It all came together in the '87 model year.

I was thinking of a Ferrari but after a good hard ponder I thought no thanks. Only one I'd want is a 60's and they're big boys toys now. Or a 246.

I think my '72 Fiat 500 is built 10 times better than any 60's 70's Ferrari!

Lovely looking car P50, was that in one of the Porsche books next to a Ferrari 328?

I think these are £50k tops myself (having owned a couple), the rest is just current hype!

[P50]

We'll I wouldn't sell mine for 50. or 90. Here's the problem...

No good cars left...

As I said it's a reference car. Excuse the crappy pics. I don't know if it's the car you mention. probably!

Mine's one of the best and will never be for sale...

Its funny, one of my old cars was featured in 911&Porscheworld back in 2008, it made me scamper upstairs to get the magazine out, I took a look at the adverts and what these cars were going for then! we all need time machines

[Axel987]

had a 3.2 ,now a cayman R. The 915 gearbox is a chore, and this one was newly overhauled.
no regrets. Id rather pay a bit in depreciation than massive rust repairs and maintenance.
