How many beers did you have before bidding 500?

The car looks great, good luck.

Thanks all - might do a thread to cover the return etc if anyone would find it interesting.

Surprisingly, no beers were consumed

I’m on the wagon at the moment, had taken a break from drinking before lockdown and then decided to continue during lockdown - otherwise I’d probably end up drinking every day - circa 125 days so far...

Throughout that period, I’ve often worried about what I would bid on if I had been drinking - I’d definitely have bid to win on the latest Ariel, bid on the first one but didn’t go too high.

I was surprised how far over list that went for, list £45, bid to £54 +£3k buyers premium.

A Nova currently at £3k!!! Forget Covid, Brexit, the finanical crisis, rioting, the lot....this is proof the world has gone mad.

If 2nd division hot hatches like 106 GTis and MG Metros can go for £12k+, then a low mileage SR that's not been Max Powered is easily £9k+

Nice one 500 Miles - I was looking at the ‘sold’ listings before coming over to see what’s happening on this thread and saw it and though “sweet Jesus, that’s gorgeous”. Definitely new thread worthy

Last summer a good early SR was £15k-£20k, Nova Sports considerably more.

The nicest 911 turbo IMO well done! Although the wrong colour

What would you have gone for?

I was considering respraying or wrapping gold and going for the Classic Gold 993 look that Porsche did a couple of years back. Purists would obviously hate it!

[500 Miles]

Thanks all - I’ll start a thread on the Porsche forum, just need to decide best company to do the retrim.

Shout if you have any recommendations.

Congrats on the turbo - looks amazing. Definitely look forward to a separate thread on it.

How long does it take for CC to list an auction as sold? i was watching a diablo and missed the final price. This was a few days ago now and have yet to see it in the sold section.

Ah, but i didn't see a reserve notice on it or is that not something CC show?

Last bid i saw it was at £92k (plus £6k). i know that top gear specialist listed it 4 years ago for sale at £110k. Looked like it needed about £10k worth of fettling/work.

Am keeping an eye on that Nova. Has to be nearing £10k by the end of the auction I think.

I was almost going to get involved but it went to £6k pretty quickly!

This later Mk1 one went for £11k at CCA a couple of weeks ago, similarly low mileage, although with wheel trims (darker versions of what I had on my 1990 1.2 "Fling" special edition). I was sure alloys were standard on SR by that stage.... https://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/events/2020-a...

That Magenta/Burgandy colour they did it in... not sure of official colour

Arena Red.

I can’t believe someone is willing to pay that sort of money for a nova
