I've a beautiful white Porsche 911 targa super sports - bought 20 yrs ago. I'm amazed at some of the silly prices such cars are making!!! Utter bonkers!

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...
BTW your 911 looks fantastic, it looks like the Tuthills car. The Tuthill car is well known as it had quite a lot of media exposure when it was built - which gives buyers comfort.



Any more pics?

+1 look at what Singer are charging. Right time to be selling something like this RSR copy but I'd still be nearer £80k for it. Its just a 3.2c underneath it all.

Singer are technically in a different league of super bespoke cars for the ultra wealthy. They're justifiably a marque in their own right like RUF with the Ruf CTR 'Yellowbird'.

Agree the RSR recreation should be circa £70-80k like the creations at JZM. But that's the 'PS tax'.

True but you should see what some owners are doing with their 964s nowadays. Interiors virtually identical to the Singer and engines built my Nick Fulljames pushing out 385bhp all in standard 964 C2 shell. Pretty cool really......

...last time I heard, 75 Singers sold worldwide (firm deposits for build slots) including 7 here into the UK. Trying to find donor cars is becoming an issue for RHD...

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)!

Without a doubt.
Lot of over priced 3.2's been on the market for an age. More so for the 930's. The realistically priced ones don't hang about. PS has always been over priced IMO yet dealers such as Philip Raby who tends to price things fairly in my opinion shifts stock.

Cheers!

It was the Tutthills car biggrin

I'll miss it badly, it really is a fantastic steer. Some chap in Hong Kong has got himself an amazing car..

I'll find some and post them up later.

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.
You need to think of this car as not a 3.2. It is a full rsr recreation and is exceptional. The wheels alone were 7k. It is simply amazing. Whether it is worth the money it is different question but you couldn't build this now for the asking price. Just depends on what you want.

Been a bit quiet ladies so I thought this thing warrants attention.

Estimate £95 - £110

WTF?! It appaear to be pi$$ing it out in the wrong places and will need much shekels spending on the tub! Iceberg tip type thing... Perhaps £40k for a proper rotisserie job as its history warrants it... Plus the 2.7IB motor is not known as hugely robust.

It won't be long before truly original IB cars are right up there. As in £100k. This is going to a restored car! From '74 - '89 it matters not what model just that it has never been rotten and needs no rectification. They all look the same to the layman!

A totally original car is what the collector purists want for investment grade. On the back of all this I've raised my insurance valuation somewhat!

From the beginning of this thread prices have simply gone insane.

That cars already been discussed you obviously missed the Prices 1975 2.7 post

We know you have a nice original rust free IB, keep talking it up! wink

I think the market has cooled off, too many overpriced queens pretending to be mint cars. Good cars will still sell at the right price, but it's all looking toppy.

Plus is getting boring and most people are happy to sit on their cars...except the GT3 boys who are getting edgy.

Stop trying to make IB cars 100 grand vehicles based on the 2.7 Carrera hahaha.

Its the 2.7 RS engine, they have been expensive for a long time in europe.
Going rates now are 130-150.000 euro.

Obviously a thread bump but if you check out the Pre 89 sales on here the majority of the high priced stuff has been for sale for an absolute age (6 months+) just suggests that the market for this has slowed.
