No, I don't have a figure in mind. They are fantastic cars and so rare that once sold you'd likely never get back into ownership.

Probably sell eventually but then what to buy instead?!

Did you have to provide a written valuation to your insurance company?
My insurance broker called the dealer and the dealer gave the figure to insure it for

Very nice car indeed, but for that kind of money all needs to be correct.
But the Speedlines are not correct put together, the valve stem needs to be between 2 spokes.
And is the valve stem near the yellow sticker on the inside of the inner rim, only to see if the tyre is removed.

3.3 Turbo? The only thing about the 3.6 and it's current value is its rareness (and I totally get why people like this by the way), so if anyone wanted to cash in and keep the driving experience this seems obvious?

This will affect the ownership experience though.

I don't think you can value any collectable car by the way wheels have been refurbished!





I do need to point out that mine are also incorrect! biggrin

The valve stem thing is always a talking point. What negative effect is introduced by the valve not being between the spokes? So many owners point it out.

No loss in value - having no wheels at all may be an issue though ! smile

There's no negative thing about the valve stem on the wrong place for the Turbo 3.6 Speedlines, but for that kind of money you want it all to be correct.( it will affect the value of the Speedlines )

From the add: All wheels were disassembled, stripped, refurbished and rebuilt by Paragon, and they of course have the correct ‘Speedline for Porsche’ on the rims.


Valve stem near the yellow warning sticker.




Valve stem between two spokes.



And ofcourse this at the valve stem

What engine oil are you guys using?

On Rennlist they recommend Mobil 1 V-Twin, but, that isn't available in the UK!

I hear what you're saying about the valve stem application - but I hate to say it but those bolts don't look authentic to me - sorry frown

You're correct.
They are new bolts, i don't dare to drive fast with old bolts, so new bolts for safety reasons.

In my opinion as the cars get more expensive detiails like the wheels become less of an issue. To fully refurbish a set as approx 1% of the value of the car.

Having a car with Original panels is very important and for the very top cars original paint is important.

It's becoming harder and harder to find good cars with original paint. Sounds crazy but to some original paint is more important than service records.

An original paint car could be another 25% more money
