It does been for sale for most of this year which I don’t really understand. Was priced at £195k IIRC, Given mileage and colour that seems decent value for an NGT. I think a Lightweight in that Maritime Blue and that mileage would probably sell for that. Given GT Classics reputation seems odd it hasn’t sold.

Nice as something to have "in the garage", but a Lightweight is a far nicer (if slightly less focused) more usable toy for road use.

I agree...when I was thinking of buying a 964 RS I had no interest in an NGT. I think that’s the problem with some of these cars...how do they get used ? Too expensive for most people as a track car and in this case there’s a very obvious alternative as a road car.

I saw this the other day at JZM and thought it looked bloody fantastic but just not sure how you use it

Sparingly Which is of course a complete waste.
It is lovely, as was my old car, seen here at GTC, and sold earlier this year for a lot less than the asking price of the JZM car. When I owned it, it had 40K miles on it and was wonderfully usable.
Mind you, it was also considerably cheaper when I bought it back in 2004 ...

I have to say visually the 993 RS is both lovely and awful depending on the angle - looking “into” the wing it’s very sexy - like the image in this post, but that wing side on and from the back looks really strange to me (as per the images I’ve added below) : 964 RS is far prettier IMHO - but then again I’m biased

Happier now ?






993 RS with Clubsport spoiler pack definitely looks more “racecar”.

Hope you’re well Rich ?

You have a proper rear end fetish R

I remember a very similar conversation comparing the 964 RS and GT3 Touring in the Caffeine and Machine car park. Think you're right about the 993 RS wing side on...adds way too much bulk to the side on profile of the car.

All good thanks - I think you’ve just posted virtually the same car with decals added to trick me

In fairness, it nearly worked

But the 993 rs with the smaller wing looks fantastic!

Is it smaller though, or just further away?

Here's my old Maritime car back in 2007. Also from GTC and probably the only car I regret selling.

Magnificent machines, had mine from around 2003-2005, M003.

From memory had around 30k klms when I bought it for £32k, sold it to a good friend and highly regarded Porsche specialist the day before we all went to the 'ring for a modest profit, where he managed to back it into the barriers at Bergwerk with Yellow in the passenger seat and me following him

I remember Yellow telling us how he pulled the shoulder belts tight before the impact. We beat the rear 1/4 out and straightened the exhaust in the car park and Mr no name carried on.

Happy days

They're tough old barges JC !! I managed a similar high speed off road parking incident in the wilds of Wales, the damage was "significant" as in £25K's worth to car that was then worth £32K ... think, the bonnet wouldn't close because the frunk floor had been pushed up so far ...

I drove it back home to N. Wales (after it had been winched out of its "parking space") and then once I'd agreed terms with the insurer, I drove it from N.Wales down to Rye to be repaired !!
