Speedsters

[nem351s]

I love the 911 Speedster and in a year or so would love to get the 1989 Turbo bodied version - ideally guards red.

However, why are there never any 964 variants for sale? You often see about 2 1989s for sale every couple of months, but I have never seen a 964.

Are these much more rare?

Looks sooo good!

Many thanks for that link.

I guess with only 14 RHD 964's it explains the lack of availability.

1989 Speedster looks like a cracking motor though. Definately on the shopping list when I look to change the Delorean DMC12.

I guess you can vaguely justify the premium over a 1989 911 standard cabriolet by the unique looks, exclusivity and lack of depreciation (until recession kicks in!!!)

I saw that, but have just purchased a car so won't be in the market for a while.

All that car needs is new carpets and slight reconnolising on bolster.

Have you owned a speedster Ruby?

The Speedster is a very cute design, but not a particularly great 911 - more of a sunny day cruiser.

Many were bought as 'investments' back in 89/90 but, apart from a bit of initial madness, prices have been pretty static around the £25-35k mark for many years.

If you accept the hood is not intended to be as good as a cabriolet, why are they not a particularly great 911?

They must be a pretty raw drive - i.e. unrefined, noisy stuff. Are you referring to slight chassis flex maybe?
