Is it just me, or is this 911 Turbo seriously cheap?

As long as that mileage is genuine then that looks like a bargain!

Way too cheap. Just sold mine for considerably more, with 43k miles on.

A few things are unusual with it. Colour coded sills and front splitter, which is non-standard.

And that rear spoiler isn't original either - there are no hydraulic rams in sight.

No, it looks exactly like a car with the original Aerokit: fixed biplane rear spoiler, larger front splitter, and colour coded sills. It seems to polarise opinion these days, but at least there isn't a £1000+ bill waiting in the wings when the hydraulic spoiler packs in :-)

There was a nice Aerokit-ed manual Turbo S at 911 Virgin too, went for £46k I believe with 61k miles on the clock. Even as a Turbo S owner with a vested interest in rising prices, that makes this car look like an absolute bargain.

What was the price? It has gone now as someone has reserved it.

Not used Harry Fairbairn for a long time, buy I'm told their standards have fallen dramatically since Arnold Clark took over.

OK, wasn't aware of that - I knew there was an aero-kit for the non-turbos but didn't realise there was a turbo version too.
Personally, having seen that I don't think I'm a fan.

'Someone called and placed a deposit on the car before they could call you back. I have however made sure that should the person decide not to take the car then you are to receive first refusal if that is ok with you?'

Doh!!!

Thank you mate. It's a 996, and looks to be a belter. I'm looking forward to getting it now....!
