I think both. Great cars and very special to drive, very hard work on the road though.

Speak to Mel for an honest appraisal although I know he loves his?

Really like the look of that.

Imagine it will sit other than a once over at a specialist ahead of a suitable track/event each year.

Cool thing. Are there historic races for cars like these ? I’ve got no idea.

Not sure I see one as a track day car to be honest. If you’re spending close to £200k on a car you I’d want to be going on one of the restricted number/Supercar days and you’d feel very slow in this compared to a lot of the cars you find on those days.

Not sure I really see a car like this as ever being collectible. I think for a car with competition history it has to have won something significant and preferably been driven by someone famous.

Yes love the CUP cars but not really that special or eligible for some of the premier historic series . Rather a RSR and then Classic Le Mans etc open up

Tractive Suspension and Porsche Club 911 Challenge series.
Very small grids last year, not sure if it'll get anywhere or not

I'm not sure of your definition of collectible. £200k for a 964 marks it out as something a bit special in the eyes of the market.

Its the perfect track day car,cheap to run,no more expensive to repair than any other 911.
They drive great,right little go karts.
The club series has included the Boxster challenge etc now,so not such a good place for special cars.
Get it bought chris and bring it along to the rs day,melv will be with us in his as usual
