Porsches you wish you hadn't sold

[Discombobulate]

Just updated my phone and have been going back through old photos. Here a few of the cars I wish I had never sold. Odd to think that I paid less for all 4 than it would cost to buy a single GT3 today. Should have tucked them all away. Hindsight and all that.

996.2 GT3 with buckets. I always parked it on its side...

1970 2.2s
So cool. So light and nimble.

Never really gelled with this one ( a 1989 3.2). It felt too heavy after the 2.2 s. Still wish I had kept it though.

911 Turbo LE "G700 WTF" 1 of 50 Owned it twice... bought it Brand New in 1989 but was seduced into selling for a handsome profit, ended up buying back it several years later with 12,000 miles and kept it for about five years but only did about 1,000 miles in that time,so again offered a profit so sold it I've seen similar sell for around £250K now...

Technically not sold as I wrote it off (and didnt buy a replacement), but wish I still had my red 997 GT2 CS

Stunning, do you know if it is still around?

RHD non sunroof? - Is that an EMC Cage?

Yes, yes and yes.

It was on R888s. Best fun I have ever had at 10 mph.

Ah… that was Alex’s race car - yes it’s a good job you did sell it because that became this





And allows me to say that I spanked the Stig(s) at Silverstone in the dark!

Wait - that sounds wrong… I mean in a race car

Don't know of it's whereabouts now but I'm sure it'll be nicely tucked away somewhere.... To think in it's day 330BHP was outrageous where as now my, BMW 2 series Automatic is 380BHP.....

1998 993 GT Evo, one of 21. Bought it from the first owner in 2003 for £85k, sold in 2006 to make way for the CGT. Now owned by Jan Koum who has three, as you do. Did 20k miles in 3 years, including numerous track days all over the EU. It had no leather dash, no contrasting stitching, but instead had a full welded roll cage:

Wow..

Mine isn’t quite as stunning…



My 2nd 968. Non sunroof - stripped - welded cage - lots of sexy engine parts - road legal.



And the 924 - a proper wolf in sheep’s clothing. 924S with the 3.0 and 6speed box from a 968, all dressed up in a 924CGT kit. ( sorry it’s the only pic I have of it on my phone )

Had some fun in that car.

I have been watching yours on threads. Lovely car.

Didn’t regret at the time (always fancy trying other cars) but now really want one again.

I only sold one RS and regretted it since:
