Me too - oh and don't forget some 1986 cars had G50s too.

My crystal ball tells me that the 3.2 is this year's gilt edged investment, but don't tell everyone (I've just sold mine as it happens :wink: )

I've never driven a 915 but the info that I have is that they're either great or awful whereas G50s are mostly great and more reliably so.

Having just sold a G50 Targa and bought a G50 Coupe (for obvious reasons - noise too much in the end) I have to say that one of the first questions people ask is whether it's a G50 - so from a pure sellability point of view that's worth baring in mind.

Got a lovely red G50 D coupe available with a fresh top end rebuild circa £15k: black leather sports seats, sporting lightweight bumpers at the moment although the originals are available for refitting if required.

How about a respray?

Well, they're talking out of their arse. The most important thing is whether the car is rotten or not. Gearbox rebuild or a couple of front wings?....90% of the buyers care about the cosmetics, not whether the gearbox is hydraulic or cable...

Oh dear, sore point I think!

It just happens to be a favourite on peoples 3.2 shopping list - obviously no one's going to buy a rotten G50 over a nice 915 but let's face it Porsche upgraded the gearbox for a reason and that reason was to make the car more future-proof.

To quote Tony Corletts book, "The G50 unit was a far more efficiently-designed unit, and substantially improved ease of operation and gear shift throw"

Henry's got a nice red one!! (911 Virgin)..I also went from 3.2 to 993 and never regretted it.
Mind you it was a 915..and yes, a bit of a pig when cold, but I loved it! (especially going backwards round Goodwood.. )Good luck...
