for us in NL it is good value, all high Tax like BPM/Co2 per gram is gone after 16.5 years, so thats good, if it was new you would pay 60-80k BPM/Co2 tax + 21% VAT so finally when its old, we also in NL can have 'normal' prices.

If you see what a car like my example goes for via bring a trailer, you could think of about 160k crazy times if you look at those 2022 prices and what they bid at good cars, some are even not that good but stil.

if only you would have a big garage/shed and some spare money, those sort cars and others are more worth than your cash today and more certain, also more fun then the money on a uncertain bank those days... Klaus digital switch money 2030

The problem comes when you try and register it here. It's not cheap

Home after 200 miles, plenty of time to get used to it, bloody love it! Stupidly quick, very loud and a right handful!

[GTRene]

that last picture is very good, nice.

so lol, loud, nice for some journey's could be much for other journey's.
if it becomes to much via some parts, there is enough lightweight sound/heat materials to help dampen some unwanted.

but I guess in the beginning its just fun, no radio needed ;-)

Are you keeping the cage?

Yes cage is staying, going to have some nice bar protectors made.

I’ve read a few times that ull cage is a dangerous thing without a lid ? That bar across the knees looks a bit aggressive !

The Spanish £200,000 build 1970 restomod failed to sell on Collecting Cars this evening. High bid was £63k.

I guess that answers the OP’s original question.

In case you were disappointed to miss out the first time, it's back again on a different auction site now... https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/1970-porsch...

I do like this, though I can appreciate its not to everyone’s taste.

Circa £130k

I like that, almost 'cheap' compared to a Singer, ok those might be another level, but I would also be happy with this one, looks good.

[MrVert]

That looks very well done…although as time passes by, for me the narrow body 911’s look so much nicer.

Sold yesterday, I believe.

I'm going to be that guy. I think it looks awful. It's just another Singer wannabe, but they got the lines and proportions of the flares all wrong so it looks awkward and dumpy, and it has those ridiculous googly-eye headlamps. It appears they just threw every backdate cliché at it and it's ended up a tacky mess. IMO.

Each to their own, but full cage might strengthen the car, but it doesn't do your head any good if you hit it! I'd not have one. Car looks great though!!

Asking price was £130k, but was sold at ~£150k within 2hrs of listing.

[GTRene]

Looks lovely but at £120k I’m thinking it’s a lot of cash although I don’t doubt the build costs were big

It was for sale at Uber a couple of years ago for an eternity at £99k.

Hateful. 3.0 SC at an inflated price with wheels and tyres that are absurdly huge. What is wrong with people?

+1 I would have much rather a nicely restored SC, or a mild hotrod impact bumper, or an actual long hood. This has the worst of all IMO.

[julian987R]

This could be one of the nicest yet. I love the front valance - seems right and purposeful but not too incongruous
