Around 6/7 years ago i purchased a nice and very rare Porsche 964 3.6 Turbo. There were only 47 right hand drive versions made and i was lucky enough to land one with only 42k miles and FULL Porsche main dealer history. It was pure sex on wheels, those mega wide arches, the hugging seats, the noise and the tasty split rims all made it such a desirable car to own. The driving experience was not great, it was classic old school tech with power delivery that was like a rocket going off within a small power band! Two wheel drive also made you sit up and take note when you were pressing on.
I sold it to a dealer close to me, a very easy transaction and i managed to make around 6k on it at the time (bought for 33k and sold to him for 39k, he banged it up for 45k and sold it to Kurt Gieger). Kurt bought it as a gift for his secretary and she i believe was not a car buff so stored it in an underground car park in London. The car had every bill from new, about 4 inches of paperwork which i'm told she threw out!! She then changed the split rims as the lacquer was pealing (a common issue on those wheels) and skipped them (i know, i know!!) The wheels alone are worth about 8-10k now!!
anyway, to cut a long story short i was speaking to the same dealer i sold the car to about car storage and noticed that he had it back in again. He said he'd just sold it and i asked if he'd mind me asking what he sold it for.......
.........wait for it. £168,000!!! GUTTED is not the word, if there was ever a car i should have held onto it was that one!! The prices have gone crazy!!
