call it $20k with shipping, that's AED 73,500. for a 425bhp/ton car, albeit in component form. compare that to the price of an r400.

I do like that M3, and the C4S.

I tried to go and see a totally vanilla non-S manual 2006 987 Boxter yesterday but it was sold. Only up for 73k and at that price I'd have lived with the lack of frills!

I'm tempted to buy this as an ironic statement about the largess of Dubai life!

Anyone know if 'Gemballa High Power' involves anything beyond the addition of heavy useless plastic body parts with gallons of glue?!

In their early days they used to be a pretty good tuning house. That looks a little like more effort has gone into plastic add ons than anything else. Nice colour though. As subtle as my Tamora is back home..

Still, as an everyday snotter that you can rtag mercilessly when youwant to, you can't get much better than a boxster S. I'm concerned about the softtop in the summer though, even with GCC spec I don't know if thats sensible.

Advert pics that fill you with no confidence:

It's in a workshop, with the tow eye in and the rear suspension suggests they've taken something heavy out to take a closer look!

jonathan's integrale is for sale

http://www.dubaipetrolheads.com/cars-for-salewante...

don't expect it to be in the same condition as harris's, but then i very much doubt his would be this cheap.
