Hmmmm, it's difficult to value without knowing whether the car is fitted with N rated tyres.
With them I'd be thinking £15k, but without them I wouldn't even entertain buying it tongue out

But seriously, the RPM car looks toppy bearing in mind its mileage and (for some) it's interior colour. Those side stripes knock a good £5k off its value too ........ vomit
N rated tyres lol !! I got some lovely non n rated Michelin super sports on mine. How will I sleep

Please explain this fascination with the Sunroof. I hear it very often in air-cooled talk but really can't see why a sunroof makes any difference.
Sunroof adds additional weight and that weight being higher up the car gives it a higher centre of gravity.

All important for PH track warriors! wink

Fully understand the principle, I just don't see why it is applied to a C2. If it was a sportier version it makes perfect sense. I have a car similar to the one in the first post but with a lot more track focused parts fitted. It also has a sunroof and I just can't see how having it or not is such a deal breaker for many in the Porsche world. It is not a GT3 confused

Sunroof - not a deal breaker but reduces structural strength a little adds weight and just looks a little less purposeful to me, personal preference of course.
