Im in the market for a manual T with back seats. If anyones thinking of selling (or knows someone who is) then drop me a message.

Why ditch useful practicality for a misty-eyed vision of a car from 50 years ago? LW glass = no heated rear window and I'm slightly reassured by the (not much) extra privacy of the darkened glass. If I want a bit of extra exhaust noise (I don't), I can drop the window a bit.

One of the best parts of the T is the engine noise, and there's no shortage of that.
isn't the engine noise the same as the base 911?

I suppose the question is if you're buying a T then why not save money and get a base car

It is the small differences that actually make the T as a package.

Factor in the rarity with limited numbers and you will have a 911 which will retain its desirability and value long after a basic 911 has been forgotton.

Especially as there won't even be a 992 T now.

Definitely? Not that I believe everything my opc says but they were adamant it’s coming.

The world has changed though wouldn’t be at all surprised.

Yes. As mentioned previously they are doing an ST but not a T for the 992.

Well… Yes, it’s the same base engine but I think my T sounds better than the manual S I test drove.

The T is more distinctive, it’s the only one for which you could order the rather nice T interior pack, and there aren’t many of them around. Given that it’s regarded as being a good drive, it sounds like a decent proposition to me. smile

Sounds good to me…

Picked my T up yesterday and had a nice four hour drive home! So far absolutely love it. Feels nimble and small and I wasn’t expecting that.

I would agree with a lot of others on here, a manual T with rear seats would be a superb car both as a daily (if you have young kids) and a long term proposition. Just so few about.

Disappointing that there won't be a 992 T. The rumours of a 4.0L NA engine going in made it sound like the perfect final petrol car for the enthusiast.

Dr S - did you post this purchase on one of the Facebook groups? Car looks fab. I think it is parked next to mine in this 7T years of Porsche picture from Porsche Bolton?

kith, after 4 years, and 20k miles, I am really starting to see mine as a long term proposition. So hard to replace.

Good to hear, but bad news for those of us hoping to pick one up in the next few years as I don't think you'll be alone in holding one for the long term

Looks like the one that was at Baytree cars ltd.

Very nice spec!

They're great cars, especially in RY.

Manual, 2 seats and 13k miles. PDLS and T interior pack plus seat backs in leather and contrast stitching but that’s it for options.

I’d have loved buckets and PCCB but I really wanted speed yellow! Plus it seemed cheap in the market.

Spoke to my dealer and he’s still adamant it’s coming. We’ll see what happens!
