964RS - thoughts?

[911Thrasher]

any one knows this 964RS? not my favorite color, but if it's good...i could take the jump

(personally i'd rather have a white, rubystone, pepper mint or black one)

A 964 RS is just too special for silver but other than that (and its for you to live with, not me...).... its an absolute corker..... beautifully presented and a real gem it would seem. Best of luck!

Whippy: did you see the car?

IMO silver isn't the best color either - ideally I'd rather have white, black or rubystone!

[T.K]

Perfect!

Red for italian.
Blue for french
Green for British.
White for Japanese.
Silver for German.

There seems to have been a few come up at this price range recently, have you spoke to the vendor?
PS aren't IMO known for their bargains & if the car is mint/low mileage why this price?
Can't help but think that at these prices mk1 gt3 etc are massively over priced!

If you're not too keen on the colour why not get it wrapped? It would protect the paintwork whilst you had it and could easily be removed when it comes to sell it on; could also make it look pretty individual.

u best post on the PCGB in 964 RS register - this car was until recently being sold by Paul McClean @ GTClassics - pal of mine looked at it when it was last sold arnd 2 yrs ago. iirc it's had paint and panels, but then i guess thats to be expected with a 964 RS.

I am aware of a red 964 RS, with circa 50,000 km on the clock; if that would be of interest?

The sale is nothing to do with me - I've simply come across it in my search.

Yes, John Glynn (impact bumpers forum owner & Porsche Journo) is also handling the sale of one at the moment - maybe the same car.

@threasher- I haven't viewed the car man, my comments relate to the add only. Wrapping is a good idea but just not for a 964RS IMHO.

Hi folks,

Yes, it's the same car. Has had a front wing and a bonnet skin at some stage by the looks of it, but is straight and true.

We've fixed the clunky diff, refurbed the original mag wheels and a few other bits since we got it from Paul and it's an utter corker, not one to tuck away in the dehumidified collection but one to get out there and drive.

Looked great in the GTclassics pics. PS pics are very poor.

yes indeed - i am afraid silver doesnt look that attractive, but i havent seen it yet in person

one reason why i keep changing cars lately, is that i find something i almost love: the color is never perfect
but i want to stick a little longer this time to my purchase.

Also fancy a red/black 993RS with high mileage (60-80kmiles...to keep the price slightly on the low side)

Sam, anything else you spotted on this car? I guess you saw it, maybe you even did some maintenance on that car?
Sam, what is your shop? are you the seller?

I'm looking for a driver - no garage queen with me, but a street queen: i would drive it everyday no matter what the conditions, but it would be maintained/polished as it should be, no expense spare

Sorry, should have made it clear; I'm with Paul Stephens.

I'll send you an email now.
