Sounds interesting - if you could sell 2 to buy one, what would you get and what did you want to buy that went in a day.
964 RS survived the cull and I hope the financial gods will smile favourably on me so it gets to stay with me - it was incredibly hard to find and is such a special car.
Re gen1 Spyder - I bet you are right & would like to see what all the fuss is about one day - I imagine a good mix of power (not too much) , size (not too big) and weight (not too flabby) makes for a great road car.

I am going off very expensive stuff atm I would maybe sell every thing if I got retail but keeping the Manual GT3 for the time being.
I drive the 987.2 and think "I don't need any more performance or any thing newer" I would go back to a Cayman R, but thought I would have a 997 GTS.

Yep a golf club carpark vehicle to match the raspberry chinos and strictly for the over 70s.
I’d disagree with that.Perhaps in the distant past, but contemporary Astons have a much more positive public perception - regularly featuring as one if the ‘coolest brands on the planet’.
Even as a Porsche enthusiast, I would regard Aston Martin as having a better brand image than Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini.
Their cars might have a different appeal to, say, a GT3, but certain models exude great taste and capability.
Recent financial woes haven’t been ideal, but the brand is always elevated when the next Bond movie hits the screens.

There are a few Astons near me and they always sound fantastic.

Wonder what happens next if it’s a U.K. buyer.

Someone has bought a cheap car there that if nothing else could be thrown around a circuit with less need to worry about it than people who paid £50k more for one. If you think what the parts would be worth that car is ridiculously cheap....engine on it’s own must be worth £20k, PCCB’s and Seats another easy £10k etc etc £69k + fees

It's just sitting in a bonded warehouse in the Far East .... duty + vat = 25% ish plus shipping ... it will be £100k plus ??
Exactly! Not really cheap given provenance, KM odometer, Non OPC service and lack of warranty................ Hardly cheap based on this.

Why wouldn't it be able to get a certificate of conformity? Alternative would be an IVA which would be simple enough.....

Reserve doesn't look too ott.
Looks like its been mothballed for a few years.
Part of a 20 odd Porsche collection with quite a few other interesting cars.

When I looked the duty would have been £50 because the car was manufactured in the EU. Vat at 20% and shipping to the UK approx £1000. Seems good value to me.

I'm happy to be corrected, but isn't the age of the car an issue for vat at 20% ?Why wouldn't it be able to get a certificate of conformity? Alternative would be an IVA which would be simple enough.....
I could have asked a professional shipping agent for the figures but I'mm too happy with my modified 981 GT4 ...

yep already noted, but I don't like auctions or mothballed cars, I guess it depends on price but you have to keep your head with 12.5% + VAT fee's !!!Reserve doesn't look too ott.

can you go and RR check a car as an example ?
I would not even bid to the lowest est for that car so I doubt i'll have a go for it.

Have to say the estimate’s look realistic to me...but once you add their commission and say allow £5k bill from your friendly Porsche specialist for sorting out problems because cars haven’t been used you’d need to buy at low estimate.
an Auction car sold as seen is not a £63k car !! which is what a £55k bid would cost you !The mint OPC car was £65k asking with a LSD option (I am sure that was still an option ! ) , low miles, full aero kit and 2 year warranty on new tyres.
I would go £52k top wack if RR free and looked ok in person on the auction car.
be interesting to see what happens.
