interestingly priced 964
Discussion
Seems more realistic pricing but the advert just makes me think of a Max Power car being advertised by Stuart Baggs from the Apprentice. I love the old curvy Porsches, and I understand the prices are strong for them, but it's done 130k miles, and it's a very very self-important description. More off-putting than attractive.
A standard advert, just facts and no flowery stuff, would do it far more justice IMO.

Mileage is irrelevant when buying classic pork. Condition is key. Anyone looking for one won't care too much about the ad and will do their own due diligence. There is enough info there to know where to pursue it or not. I get the impression the price will need to be between £35-40k for someone to be the next owner.

Which seems to be the going rate regardless of the bling and customisation. It is a lovely colour though.
Tbf the bling and customisation is pretty minor and easily reversible at minimal cost if that's what someone wants to do. It's mainly removing some Lemass decals here and there. g7jhp said:

Although I know the DVLA will list it as Pink on the V5.

Agree 100%, I had a factory built Caterham 7 HPC in Rubystone Red. The usual comment was "interesting colour".It was fine for a weekend toy, but loud for a daily.
I agree if someone was buying as an investment this wouldn't be top of my list.
At least the colour change was well documented for all to see. If I wanted to Rubystone Red 964 then this would be an option.

Personally I think the car is great! It's had a thorough paint job (£10k?) a fairly recent engine rebuild plus all the interior bits. Compared to some of the other 964's available for similar money it appears to be a bit of a bargain in my eyes.
The engine rebuild is 8 years old. Who knows what's happened to it/been skimped on since then? Give me an honest, untouched, but good historied example over a bit of shiny-shiny any day. Still like the colour though, and I would happily drive a pink car as a daily
