This came into 911 Virgin on Saturday. Sold on Sunday for £230,000.00

Fair play to the owner. Bought her for buttons added lots of miles and sold her for a small fortune wink

That is Gorgeous!

I must say though, I am 99% sure that my definition of 'buttons' differs massively to yours hehe
Far less than you sold your GT3 for! Circa £10-20k less

Well then I stand corrected! beer

Beautiful car though, what an enjoyable journey the owner must have had. Smiles in both the heart and wallet!

I know they were made in very small numbers but I really don’t get 993 Turbo S prices. I’d much rather have a 993 RS.

Indeed or even a standard 993 turbo with the 430ps motor.

Ride on the Turbo S is worse than the non S version too.

The most interesting thing is if you price them correctly they sell.... a few dealers should be taking note rather than living in parallel universe.

£230,000 for a 76k mile turbo s is still all the money. Great the owner used her for all those miles then sold her 4x multiple. Love it actually and the car looks a peach smile

I agree that a standard turbo far better drive on our roads but turbo s as rare as hens teeth. Congrats to new owner

And if you look at prices of 993GT puts it in perspective.

Thought I’d done ok with my 1998 GT Evo for £125k with 20k miles many years ago!

I’ve lost my appetite for dinner now!


Irony is the CGT I put the proceeds towards is worth half the 993!

I think that’s about right. Ultimate Porsche air cooled vs ultimate Porsche water cooled wink

Some would suggest that;-)

I will seek a degree of solace in the fact the kettle I ended up with is a far superior driving experience

Of course I'm sure no comparison even though I've not had the pleasure of driving either car. In terms of air cooled Porsche motorsport history GT2 very special indeed wink

Stop prodding with that air cooled stick !

I know the 980 is a kettle with zero motorsport history (well tenuously with the motor).

But as a driving device it’s quite simply beyond compare.
