Good enough for a perfectionist like Raymond Blanc. Look great 'in the metal'. Only though who 'know' will recognise it for what it is though.

good taste in food and cars then.

There's a Geyser Grey 50th edition with the all important houndstooth cloth seats at Targa Florio cars. Up for 109. Good luck - I can't see these losing much money from here.

been looking at these as well......prices are very strong on the continent (160K +). Cars here at 100K look good value

Manuals seem thin on the ground, anyone know the split in terms of numbers?

Manual 50th anniversary cars with the powerkit, houndstooth interior and painted in geyser grey are like unicorns! They just don't exist! I have been looking for one for months!

I've never seen one with the Powerkit and I can only remember seeing one manual...it was advertised privately on PH. You can retrofit a Powerkit though can't you ?

In general for 991 10% of cars are manual. And having checked howmanyleft there were 5 manual cars with one now SORN!

PDK's there were 100 with of which 15 seem to be in the hands of collectors as they are SORN 12 months a year.

If a manual comes up buy it!

If an OPC got hold of a manual I reckon it would be £120k plus....

Yup at some stage during the 991.1 it was improved, not sure if that includes the 50th....the gearbox in 991.1 GTS is supposed to be better than early cars.

I've tried to dig around but I can't find out if the 50th gets the improved manual box, does anyone have any idea on this? really torn between gearbox choice with this car!

You mean you've found a manual and a PDK option for sale? Or are you feeling very patient?

I was looking at a car in Leicester OPC last year that had the power kit and PDK & only 5k miles. They wanted £116k which I felt was strong at the time and the dash had a nasty knick in the leather which they said they could Smart repair but I felt I might be looking at forever. Probably should have gone for it in all honesty cos I've never seen another power kit since and very few cars at all this year.

I'm looking LHD on the continent so there is a handful of manuals.

never seen one with the Powerkit, how much does that add?
