You have a spare million...

Didn't really post the question to find out how people would choose to spend a million on Porsches, more to find out which of the 2 cars are more desirable to the enthusiasts.
Of the 2 cars in question I'd prefer the 2.7 RS, but wouldn't buy one even if I had the cash. I think they were good value at around £50K 10-15 years ago.

I think that the inference that you can take is that to probably most of us, even if the money were "spare" or in some way inconsequential we wouldn't even consider putting that kind of cash into either. I could easily name a couple of dozen cars that I would rather own, and conversely I reckon that a good proportion of people who would pay that for one of them would seriously consider buying both if they weren't specifically hunting for one or the other - it would surely take that kind of wealth... ?Chris Stott said:

But personally, if I had a million I'd be buying a Singer, a CGT and a RS4.0
As I said I'd get a singer and keep my 997 GT3 best of both worlds covered in my mind, out of the two cars I'd have the mint 73rs but only at about 100k, too expensive now for what they are as a car, people buying these at 900k are the type of people who buy a painting for 5 million quid, they have become investment art.But personally, if I had a million I'd be buying a Singer, a CGT and a RS4.0

The 3.0 ltr rs is the better car that i would choose,keep your singer crap,they miss the point.
Hmmm...what's wrong with singer? fantastic engineering, near obsessive attention to detail and top notch build quality - the singer cars represent everything Porsche (bar the 918 and possibly the RS) are not these days....Chris Stott said:
b) a 1974 3.0RS with racing history
Both in the classifieds for c.£900k.
FYI, that's just the auction estimate, and it should be in dollars not £. On the Gooding website it has an estimate of $900k-$1.2 million, or roughly £500-700k. Who knows in this market, it may actually go for £900k or more though.Both in the classifieds for c.£900k.

Not saying the engineering is not good,its not a classic or a 964,with the budget that they cost you could build a better car.monthefish said:
