I have no idea, but (I think) this is one that sold instantly this week for c. £170,000: http://www.jzmporsche.com/porsche-for-sale/911/997...

A friend has just turned down 260k for his 4.0RS and 130K for his 6RS. The 991 is an awful cock up ( feel sorry for the owners ) Unless it's power train gains a LOT more credibility - ie 1000's of racing hours and not just hanging together at a few track days - demand for the Metz cars will become even stronger. Don't sell yours unless you have to.

Global market and all that. A lot more people with money to spend - Asia, India, et al.

Bonkers but there you are.

Ask Apolo1. He's sold more of these than most UK dealers.

An artificial market IMO, but a market all the same.. I would sell a 4.0RS at £260k and buy 2 7.2RS's + a 6RS (they are not all 130k)

Don't know but it won't be less than 260 that's for sure. Its a lovely black example with 5k on the clock.

I might just hang on to it and get a 7.2 RS to use. Although I really do think this crazy market will calm down and correct eventually.

As substantial as a frothy cofeeee ...

When the speculators start to get their fingers burnt, the enthusiasts who drive their cars will discover where real values are.

Anybody remember mortgage rates at 15% per annum ?

I see some saying that because of the level of debt this could never happen again, and I believe it.

But 7% is not impossible.

And other asset classes may (easily) become tomorrow's best kept secret ...

I'd prefer to have the money tied up in one car rather than three, otherwise it is three cars to insure, tax, MOT, service, storage etc etc

The biggest problem is getting the insurers to agree to a value of £250k for one. I thought they had topped out last year at £200k, oh how wrong I was.

So how many RHD do you think are left in England? On 'How many left' it says 28 licensed in Q3 of 2013.

I don't always agree with you, but I certainly wasn't one of the dissenters on that one. Less than 30 RHD UK cars and most if not all by now in the hands of people that don't need the money... Name your price territory sadly. I blame Porsche GB for not securing a sensible allocation in the first place. Far too many were built for the US... frown

Very few LHD examples showing up on the continent either - buy now or ignore forever I reckon. The GT2RS (built in the same numbers) seems far more abundant, so I would say that the market has spoken as to what the collector car will be.

If they are available for say £260k, and there are many who think they will go up £300k or more soon, why are these people not buying more of these cars.

Apolo1 seems to have plenty of money - has he squirrelled away a few already?

I would just drive them as it is a phenomenal car. The knowledge that you are not going to lose money is an added bonus. Happy motoring. There is a very basic (no roll cage, no ceramics and no harnesses) lhd car for sale at EUR 200.000 in Germany - that is probably the lowest going rate for this car. I also believe that lhd/rhd prices will even out eventually.
