The dog really likes it - can’t stop her driving it tbh !

Car looks amazing Richard! Hope the dog can pedal......

Far better than I can - but in fairness that’s a pretty low bar

Picked the car up today and had a fab drive home - it’s much quicker than I thought it would be - the engine is a peach. Suspension / geo needs a minor tweak as it’s not as agile as it should be.

Pretty sure when it’s sorted it’s going to be an epic little thing.

Very happy.

Cheers S - will enjoy watching this tonight

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

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

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.

That’s for sure !

Happier now ?






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

Hope you’re well Rich ?

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

More distract than trick Rich

In fairness, it nearly worked

Interesting sales approach at TJS; this car was up for sale for at least 18 months before I bought my Ferrari Yellow 964 RS in October 2019. At the time he wanted 300k € for it and wouldn’t budge - not a penny (cent). It’s still there today - so, that’s over 2.5 years - but now he wants €326 k - just imagine how much it’ll be in another year
