I've just bought some poverty Pork…

[bgunn]

I think they're too much, given they both have an engine that'll give trouble and they're cat D.

There was the M030, X73 and X74 suspension kit. The X74 being the the lowest (-40/-30mm) and stiffest by far.

Why am I not surprised that the interior looks rather scuffed? Why is it always the people who spend a vast amount of money on the exterior that drive around with a tatty interior?? Also I wouldn't consider this car due to how the ad is written.

This is one of my favourite threads and I check it almost daily!

I continue to be tempted but as I have said before I just don't want a convertible, and Caymans just aren't often cheap enough yet. I therefore offer an alternative, after all ISTR we briefly discussed BMW Z4s on here a while back.

Boxer engine - check

Motorsport heritage - check

Iconic car - check

Ladies and gentleman, it's not a Porsche but I offer up this for "poverty petrol head" consideration,

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

Actually quite a lot about and I was surprised at the low prices. Quite a lot of specialists about and used parts prices don't seem too bad, plus the mechanicals seem strong. They have had a chav reputation but I think they are now getting into the realms of classics and must have bottomed out price wise.

I had a Series McRae from mid '96 to mid '98... Not massively fast, but one of the best handling/riding cars I've ever owned for b roads.

Not sure I could run one nowadays - too many of them have been chavved to death.

£9k for an old car that's not all that powerful (208-240bhp?!) and isn't a Porsche. Not for me, it not only doesn't belong on this thread, but it's not good enough to disrupt the thread either.

My second car is a 330ci with 231bhp. It was only £3k. But that's hardly relevant either

[ooid]

Interesting 996 C4s with hartech engine but CAT D. Also the owner is in Barcelona, location is a bit tricky even though its U.K. car? 13.3k advertised

[LordHaveMurci]

Be interesting to know when, and why it was written off.

I'd also want a full breakdown of what that Hartech rebuild actually consisted of.

[edo]

Far too many cars to choose from to be buying a Cat D that isnt even in the country.

[Eddie Strohacker]

Offside bumper panel gap you could put your foot through.

ahhh sorry, very misleading! Another one but 997 with a similar condition + no reserve. Currently the highest bid nearly 14k, will be watching these two and see how they end up

[Fast Bug]

I wouldn't buy a car with the advert written in Comic Sans out of principle...

[ooid]

It's really no brainer. Same price, you could get a proper decent low mile 987.2 boxster or a bit more cayman decent engine. Trouble free driving.
The 4 seats and 911 badge with a bit power you have sort of low-miles 997 but cat D. One has to be into really long ownership, as engine rebuild will be inevitable.

[GrandAndrew]

Would be a great adventure flying out to Spain and driving the car back, a couple of nights on the Costa Brava, a few different stops in Southern France.

Can't think of anything better!

No rebuild here?

I was pissed off enough about wasting 6 hours on a round trip to Lincoln to view a 'rust free' MK2 Golf GTI. A day and a couple of hundred quid going to Spain would probably annoy me beyond reason!

Saying that I did fly to Vienna to see a car, it was every bit as good as the guy described and I ended up buying quite a few from him. Difference is it was something that was never sold in the UK and there are very few over here

This car sold on eBay recently. I was watching it first time round.

Everyone knows Caymans are for Hair Dressers who are a bit ugly and therefore daren't drive a convertible.
