About to buy my first 911...
Discussion
...it's being inspected tomorrow at GT One in Chertsey.... slept really badly last night, kept waking up with a certain silhouette imprinted on my mind...
the car I am buying was brand new when I started my first job in 1992... valeting cars in Ron Stratton's showroom in Knutsford.
Getting seriously excited!

I don't want to share more before the inspection and (hopefully) subsequent deal is done... you can probably work out the model from the post above... it's midnight blue, has a great spec and is imho one of the prettiest 911s and one of the best sounding..
Hope I sleep better tonight.

have a fab 964 sat in garage 1990 3 owners and a fab s/history c2 black and one of the nicest around but pulled ad due to no interest and this at 21,950 and left hand drive beggars belief to me.
sorry but think its overpriced at that......hope you dropped them down quite considerably.

LHD is my preference as they were designed that way, a foible I share with the late Alan Clark who always spec'd his 911s in left hand drive. It also widens the market should I ever wish to sell it. Go and spend some time on www.mobile.de and you will see what these cars are really worth.
I see a top 964 C2 as a £20k car now, and slowly rising. Just try finding a C2 Coupe anyway, let alone a decent one. Shame I didn't see your ad as a black one would be my favourite colour, along with Guards. Midnight a close second.
Tough crowd.

OP you are correct that C2 coupe are getting difficult to find, I dont know the numbers sold off hand but compared to other model designations the numbers are relatively small. I would expect 20k should buy a fine example, RHD or LHD doesnt really matter. At this price I would also expect to spend very little on paint, engine or suspension for many years. Compared to the price of the 964 RS they are a bit of a bargain. Enjoy the ride.!

Nice car at a very good price.LHD premium in the UK has been 25-30% for the last few years.
Prices in Germany much higher as you note.
Thanks for the comments guys. Can't wait! It has had a full repaint ("very nice job" according to GT One) and refreshed suspension.
I would like to change the steering wheel for a club sport one (thicker, 3 spoke) but I will run it as standard for a while and see how I get on with it first.

One of the first things I did with my 964 Targa was change the 4-spoker to the Clubsport type. Mine was a German made replica and was a thing of beauty with a shield in the middle. Transformed the look of the interior and made it so much nicer to drive! You can always put the old one back on
