Which no one who wants to actually drive their car could credibly want to own. They are ornaments.

Be interesting to see if there is an offloading of cars in the next few years as the rich realise these are depreciating assets and seek to move their money into other more secure assets.

Well look at the proliferation of LHD 4.0's that have not shifted, for months, or even years...

Although there is a move to EV coming fast, no one really knows how it’ll effective the prices of collectible cars, I’ve read a lot of people saying they will reduce in price because everyone will want EV’s but in my opinion the opposite will happen, people will want the last 30 years of the best petrol engines cars. Just my 2 cents

Agree we don't know and even if people do want the best I'm not sure people will want to hold so many cars. Perhaps we'll see people keeping one or two and selling more.

If nothing else it might see more cars changing hands which will give enthusiasts more chance to try more cars.

Petrol cars could also be seen like smoking, socially unacceptable, but not against the law, and continually taxed higher.

IC engined cars will doubtless be taxed off our roads in short order come 2030, either by increased fuel duty, increased road fund license fees, or it'll be compulsory to have a black box fitted to the car that will log the miles driven, and the driver will pay a monthly or annual charge for those miles, and rest assured your 1.0 litre 3 cylinder Fiesta will be in a very band to a V8 Cayenne Turbo ...

WTF has happened, reading last few post is giving me suicidal thoughts. Can we get back to driving high revving cars and enjoying them for as long as we can please.

Not convinced they will be taxed off the road, maybe taxed a bit higher but not outta the question £££ wise, as long as the majority of people move to EV, which I think they will, governments will be happy enough, obviously when they figure out a way to tax everyone for charging their cars which they no doubt will!!

Quite. If it's not Covid it's the EV doom squad.

Diggs you and JP seemed quite happy to discuss it on this thread :

You appear to have missed the point. On both threads.

Edited down a bit.

Darn it I suppose those GT3s will just have to be used on tracks then...that’s my thinking anyway,

Perhaps there is a precedent we can look towards, currently v old cars don’t need to be taxed or MOT’ed so may be the few road cars special enough to avoid tin worm and scrappage schemes will have the same destiny.

Here’s hoping.

I can see this as a (hopeful) possibility, but never underestimate the green-eyed jealously and enviro-religious zeal that many seem to embody.

Personally, I am just going to try (as far as restrictions allow) to enjoy each of the next few years that I can thrash an ICE car on track. There's not many finer ways to do that than in a GT3, of any sort. Manual or PDK.

Someone put a deposit on the Cameron car this morning. Gutted as I was going to buy it yesterday but ended up in meetings early-late with no break. Bugger...

Looked a nice car, cheaper than most as well.

There will be others and winters setting in, sit tight and another nice car will come along.

Shame the red one which has been up all year which is being sold by a Merc specialist (yet listed privately) isn’t sensibly priced.

Anyone considering buying the silver 997.1 gt3 which has been sold a number of times this year do your home work checks with this independent dealer first.

The one that sold twice on CC and has now gained £15k in price a couple of weeks later?

Edit - Yes, that car. Googling the seller brings up a PH thread about them.

Orion Solutions weren't they formally Williams Motor Company?

Amazing how they have a 5 star rating with absolutely no low reviews but worth checking 911uk.

All I remember is whenever I see a car between those buildings to keep looking.
