Can't say I'm as impressed. Nice photos of that one, but in the flesh they look really underwhelming to me; positively anaemic compared to other 911s. To me, they looked good value when they were £15-20k. Nowadays, people have just got carried away with the Porsche badge.
I'd say people have got carried away with anything air cooled. I personally love the 964, classic looks with more modern and up to date underpinnings. I think the whole backdate thing has helped push prices even higher. I still kick myself for continuing to chuck money at my Beetle instead of bailing on it and buying a £15k 964 mmm-five said:

That is fantastic, and especially so in Mora purple
Although you think for £50k they'd have got it properly machine polished...just look at the bonnet close up...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202670739955

Surely 4 or 5 grand would get you a very nice 740i SWB sport. Like this -

That is just about a perfect E38 spec and seemingly good value. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202670739955
It seems 964 C2 stories are not that thin on the ground: I bought a 350Z rather than a C2 that I really wanted around 11 years ago as I couldn't stomach the idea of bumping it up a kerb every night. I promised myself I'd get one as soon as I moved house and got a driveway because the idea of old car values going ballistic was not on anyone's radar. Also to buy the 350Z I sold my E30 M3 for six and half grand IIRC...
But £55k is a lot of money for an admittedly lovely car. Would be a difficult decision between that and a 996 GT3.
That VW Puma looks stunning and from the photos, nicely refreshed. Got to be worth it.
This looks good to me at £6k and I can smell that interior from here!

It's surprising how cheap Celica GT4s are compared to the other rally homologation cars of the era

The ww engines seem very underwhelming!It is a VW flat 4 in there, my last air cooled Beetle pushed out around 200bhp. If that's enough you could strap a turbo on it? They're not cheap to build though, then you need a built box and they can be fairly pricey

I still like these and this one looks very tidy for the price considering it is now 30 years old.

They were thinking "This will be cool as fk" and also, if they spend any time on 911UK, the dealer is probably best avoided.LaurasOtherHalf said:

I can't remember whether the standard ST185 was the homologation job or the wide body Carlos Sainz version? I think the Carlos Sainz versions have shot up - still not Integrale money but a lot more than they were.I do remember the quad lamp ST205 coming with the spoiler extensions in the boot, a la Alfa 155, and being a bit of a rocket ship at the time.
