Morning all,

People thoughts on my car, which is currently for sale in the classifieds??

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

I've owned for ten years now, and car has had a massive amount of work done to it over the years, most recently a glass out repaint last year

From research, it was (is?) the lowest priced RHD Manual Coupe on sale (with no negative history), across PH/AT/911UK and Ebay. It also comes with a huge array of spares

Car is well known in the 964 world and features here

Thank you

I've always liked the way it drives on road and track so never felt a need to change it

I have a friend who did the 2wd conversion, and it was a whole heap of pain, though he was a bit of a guinea pig, so im comfortable staying with 4wd smile

Priced it to sell, as I have a couple of replacements in my sights

Shame you are selling, pretty much all my mods! Pity we never got out for a run together. Perfect 964 build in my book, good luck with the sale.

Yes your Rennlist threads were a great help smile

I would be more than happy to keep it, its a good car, but after 10 years just got the itch, and now have an idea what I want to move to

As somebody that was in the market for a 964/993 the year before last, I would say that you’re probably targeting a niche market. The purists / investors will steer clear while those wanting a track day oriented set up will probably want a Carrera 2?

It’s clearly a sorted car. In my opinion, I would ditch the black alloys and get some photos of it’s in the sunlight rather than you nutting it around a track!

Just my opinion though. GLWS.

I was looking at 996 GT3s, but those I could convince myself to afford weren't what I wanted, so an R it is smile

There are so few out there with the right spec its a compromise all round

I almost bought the Black car at Ashgood's which was a decent spec and cheap due to the slightly higher miles. However between me driving it and phoning to put a deposit on it about 30 hours later they had removed the buckets and sold them with a Boxster Spyder ….

So they've no ruined the factory spec of the black car and I don't want one without buckets

I would really have liked Kevin's car, but he wont even know if he's going to sell it for a month or so

Going to view a very nice sounding Peridot car on Saturday. which is only lacking PCM, which I wanted, but will compromise on.

Will let you know what happens

What a daft thing to do! And they've still got the photos up with the buckets in and I guess the same price!

And yes, buckets on an R are a must IMO.

I guess Kevin wants to keep his at least until the Anglesey PCGB trackday which is middle of next month.
