Rare car, even rarer colour! I think that so long that its sound, ie no rust, good mechanicals, good history etcthat looks like great value. Always surprises though how many sellers don't sell on PH, I thought most car enthusiasts would know about here

Even if she's done 150,000 miles subject to no rust, good mechanicals , good history that cars a winner at that money. Just lovely.

if i could have any porsche regardless of value to smoke around in every day, it would probably be a 1970 2.2 S coupe. special, special engine.
Quite, I should have bought one when they were more affordable.
The sound and dramatic power delivery of these engines is up there with the very best, not just compared to other Porsches. Pair it with the beautiful and simple looks and the whole package really makes contemporary cars look a bit ordinary and tasteless. Who knows, maybe the price will come down again. I am not holding my breath. smile

I think the Pre-impact bumper cars will never come down, I'd love the genuine article.
For me it would be a Silver or Bronze 2.4s. But at the current values it isn't going to happen any time soon!

This line would worry me - I have owned this car for 14 years but have only covered 73 miles from MOT to MOT so now for sale - that lack of use will bring a whole host of problems

This is the car, stunning.
Sorry not keen on the strange coloured Supersport, not my cup of tea.

As they say, you can live in a car but you can't drive a house. biggrin

Beautiful. I'll take mine in this silver metallic (original colour? must have been extremely rare back then!) or a creamy white. I'll even take it in sepia brown with sportomatic.
To me this is the prettiest Porsche to look at - plenty chrome and the iconic fuchs wheels to give it the right "stance". Elegant and timeless.
I'm afraid good ones will end up selling for millions at some point, no matter how many they built.

I should sell my house. tongue out

The older aircooled market seems to be cooling off, lots of overpriced cars hanging around at the usual dstealers.

Take an old 3.2 Carrera with 915 box throw lots of money at it and you get a £120k Porsche 911 RSR Evocation (1985)!

No really Mark did the right thing :-)

This is why we love the rush to the redline in a 2.2S


Last Sunday- perfect day, perfect roads, perfect car?

FWIW I've seen that car...and it is immense. Amazing build done to the highest standards.

That would have cost almost that to build and if someone is looking for that 'type of car'...it is one of the best out there.

People build these 'personally projects' but then get board with the car once it's finished and doesn't live up to their expectations. They then expect to be able to recoup their outlay.

In my experience only you stray from standard you usually end up losing money.

PS hoping to find the 'cash rich, time poor, must have buyer'!

Oh I agree with that generally, but some of these creations are really quite special.

Someone looking for a unique car will probably pay this money just for that reason.

The green Tutthill car seems to have sold as well...
