Autoclassica certainly know their cars so you may have a point Piers.
Comfort seats doesn't help the pricing, you often get what you pay for in the Porsche world.

Check it's not the Cat C silver one I saw offered around for low 30s last year. That would fit with Autoclassica's mark up. 37k is cheap for one at the moment and that's surprising when Autoclassica normally have a few RHD ones in the 60s.

Dom at risk of being an ar5e you have fallen for the sellers trap £37,995 is £38k to me not the £37k you mention...
If they are taking offers on the asking price, it would no take sherlock Holmes to reach a conclusion

LOL, yes, but I work in advertising. I always read stuff how I want the punters to read it

That said, if you can't twist their arm 950 quid on a 38k car then you aren't trying, or they're being too inelastic and you should walk away as they will be tighter than a gnat's arse and probably used GTX for the oil service not Mobil 1. They would have put it up at 38950 if they really wanted 38k.

That is cheap for them. But there do seem to be more and more 993RS at that price now - don't H & S or Mobile.de have a couple at that level too?

H&S do indeed have a £38k 993 RS, this is the car that is the subject of the recent "Cat C " thread,,,all credit due to them for pointing out in the ad the extent of the damage before it was nicely repaired.

I have a friend who has details of a 993 RS which will come out at around £25k,,,,,why would you pay £60K+ for a rhd 993 RS???? The £25k car is crashed and in need of at least a re-shell....devil is in the detail and straight cars will continue to hold their own in the market place.

If its cheap ,there is always a reason why!
Saw what looked like a nice rhd rs at spa,just had its arches rolled to clear 285 tyres on the rear.Trouble was the arches could not be rolled that well ,because of filler in the rear wings,which all cracked and had to go back to be repaired after spa.Guess where he purchased that car from up north.
