924 Carrera GT
Discussion
I do have some knowledge of the model, just haven't seen the one I bought, though did some research on it. I'm on holiday at the moment, and it is a genuine one that was auctioned yesterday at Silverstone.
I was just asking if people had more knowledge than me ;-). It's not easy to find much online, esp from time it was released.
I know mine needs a cambelt service and some other stuff but generally good. So if anyone has suggestions on where to send it, that would be appreciated. Will have a look at Mountune and website
Derek Bell's car is a GTS I think, which was later, and rarer (50ish?). GT was 400 cars, 75 RHD as stated.

It was 45k hammer, 50k inc costs, and I know what you mean about prices!
I've done ok on some other cars, and I guess if I keep it for 20yrs it should be worth more.
Euro cars have been selling at €80-90k before costs, inc a Bonhmas one at Spa with more miles and not so nice IMO, so if the bubble keeps inflated for a while I think RHD will catch up although not much in it with exchange rate now!

Can I ask. Did you see this car in the flesh? Did you have someone who knows these cars check it over for you? A comment from someone I respect, who was there, is the reason for my asking these questions....I wasn't there, so have no comment to make...,
In terms of price, they were at £30k for a long, long time. So a good example at £50k might make sense as an investment.
Personally, if I were buying one my first port of call would be Ricky. Pretty sure he has info on every RHD car made. I wouldn't buy without talking to him first.
No, I didn't see it in the flesh, as I'm on holiday, but had it checked by someone who I trust. The feedback was that it was described accurately.In terms of price, they were at £30k for a long, long time. So a good example at £50k might make sense as an investment.

There are a couple of minor things to be done, and potentially repaint, depending on what I think later. Mechanically and interior seem very sound, and I'd be more suspicious of a car that had a cheap fresh coat of paint!
Also, the long-term previous owner has since tracked me down off their own bat, and offered lots of input and advice, which doesn't seem indicative of someone who is expecting me to find lots of problems! He also referred me to Ricky.
