Nutley have a very good reputation for quality stock - he's also happy to hold on to cars until the right buyer comes along - he's had this 968 sport up for ages at just under 20K but there's no doubt it is a rare and beautiful thing http://www.nutleysports.co.uk/Porsche968Sport-Blue...

he turns away the wrong buyers who have the right money?

Lovely. But the pool of people who are prepared to pay that amount of money for a 968 must be really very small indeed. I would be much happier paying half that for a car with 70k- 100k on the clock, knowing that each time I drove it was not shedding pound notes as the miles racked up. I just dont get the whole low mileage, old car, premimum price thing!

Nice - i love it, also like these wheels, makes it look lower.

But pricey...

But they are the wrong wheels - shouldn't they be proper hollow turbo wheels on a C2S?

Good for Nutley. High prices but fabulous stock. Not Nutty at all. Bloody clever actually.

No.

17s on a C2S, 18s on a C4S to clear the Turbo brakes.

A fair amount [most?] C2Ss were specced on the handling-ruining 18s from new so you are forgiven for the assumption and may keep your beard.

When delivered with 18s, the C2S wheels were the lighter hollow spokes. The 4S got the solid spokes.

I thought it was the other way around?

MTR

EDIT - Just checked and you are right! The C2S 18" option was hollows.

Aha - so half right and a beard adds far to much weight to the GT3 these days.............
