Recognise that with the IOM plate

Yup it’s mine. Probably regret selling it from here to eternity. I just don’t use it enough and it makes me sad to see it asleep in the garage all the time. Literally too many cars and not enough time to enjoy them all. I am drifting towards each end of my current fleet, I either drive the 80’s and 90’s stuff or the bang up to date stuff.

Haven't used my R for a few weeks and today I jumped in it and not getting any reception on radio. Is this a known issue?

Could be the RF amplifier gone down?

Yeah possibly, is that behind the head unit or elsewhere?

[julian987R]

could be some similarity with this and the fix mentioned ...

PCM 3.0 no radio signal

Whats up with this ...

also the images are labelled Ashgood. Maybe it was one they just couldn't sale the usual way?

Interesting service history, not often you would see a couple of council garage stamps in the service book.

Well it looks like the car has been photographed on Ashgood's premises so you may be right.

Seems they were in Dundee by the looks of it and miles from anywhere so went with the nearest local option. Convenient at the time but probably hampered their sale price to Ashgoods (if thats how they came to get it).

I can't see it reaching more than £35K.

I think that's pushing it tbh. It has got a lot of nasties on it. All probably fixable but take time and money. Also looks like front PU has either been replaced or repainted if you look at the front splitters underside condition compared to rest of PU. It looks new to me with the old splitters fitted to it. To be fair the photo's seem to give a very honest portrayal though, my guess would be circa £30k and unsold.

Anyone seen the white PDK 'R' on BCA, 19K Miles, 2 owners, buckets, spyder alloys, sports chrono, PSE, ........ and ceramics ! Auction time 11:00 23/08
Guide price £31,100 but will obviously make more than that.

£35k !!!!! Not my place to comment on the value of other people's cars but I just sold my manual with buckets and great service history around these levels. There's no way an auto with comfort seats, the wrong wheels and slightly dubious service history will fetch 35k. Its also overdue brake fluid by about 7 years

This one looks good value, I'd definitely be going for a look if I was in the market, dream spec https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13805662

Seems unusually cheap for a manual with decent options

I was looking at that one before I got distracted by 997 GT3’s, seems a great price and compared to some of the prices of some of the rarer colours that come up plenty of budget to respray it any colour you fancied (I don’t like black)

You will scare a lot of the owners here talking about panting. I just painted my black 981 a different colour because I also find black a bit boring. Cant wait to get it back....
