I know it isn't cheap. But it would cost a lot to create from a Carrera 2 at current prices. Anybody know why it has been on the market for so long?
Thanks
Jon

Because it's a bit Halfords?

I would feel silly driving that.

This car has been up for sale for years and when I say years I am not exaggerating. Why still for sale? Well if you buy a 964 Turbo replica it's got to be significantly cheaper than the real thing and the car this one is replicating is not that much more to buy in the first place. Plus I haven't seen this one in the flesh, wonder if there are issues on close inspection. It's a funny issue because if it had just gone up for sale last week I might be tempted but with it being up for sale for soooooooooooo long doubt creeps in.

I saw it first a few months ago. Must be something wrong with it apart from the dodgy wheels. Would love a genuine Turbo, but the have gone silly money.

Quite liked the wheels, infact liked the look of the car in general. It's just a lot of money for what it is. Now Paul Deveya has a genuine 964 turbo bodied car in stock, silver all correct. I have seen that and it's the same money £39995. Most importantly it's not pretending which means it will appreciate unlike the black car.

I agree about the silver one. Would prefer a black interior. Shame to have missed that one.
