1998 993 GT Evo, one of 21. Bought it from the first owner in 2003 for £85k, sold in 2006 to make way for the CGT. Now owned by Jan Koum who has three, as you do. Did 20k miles in 3 years, including numerous track days all over the EU. It had no leather dash, no contrasting stitching, but instead had a full welded roll cage:

Wish I had bought one of these - my 996 is just so awesome to drive, really want a 996 GT3 CS
Here you go JC,the start of my slippery slope of motorsport and spending the hard earned.
Mel spear in the pic also,plus my father.
My 993 Gt2,the first right hand drive made,sold it with 10000 miles.
It had comfort seats,plastic dash,no stitching,steel brakes,and went like s
t off a shovel

Here a few of the cars I wish I had never sold. Odd to think that I paid less for all 4 than it would cost to buy a single GT3 today. Should have tucked them all away. Hindsight and all that.
Ok - Question for everyone who posted 
suppose there was an alternate reality whereby prices of all the cars listed as regret selling' were still broadly exactly the same as what you had sold them for.... How much less if at all would you still be regretting selling them? Not trying to ststir here (really!) but just wondering how much of the regret factor is monetary......993rsr said:

I had to sell to get the next one. It's my itchy feet as much as the value that upsets me. I get bored quickly. However, finances allowing, I would indeed buy them all back (except the 3.2 possibly) if they were still the same price. suppose there was an alternate reality whereby prices of all the cars listed as regret selling' were still broadly exactly the same as what you had sold them for....

Great question. I sold my 964 3.6 Turbo and the 993 GT2 evo after bad builders screwed our house up and we had to redo everything again from top to bottom. This happened just post 2008 banking crisis that also screwed most people up. All the money from the cars got swallowed up by the house and more. I would buy both back tomorrow without a thought for the same money I sold them for as IMO they are two of the most stunning 911's that Porsche has ever made. I will post a couple of pictures later when I have more time suppose there was an alternate reality whereby prices of all the cars listed as regret selling' were still broadly exactly the same as what you had sold them for....
