Personally I think the Manthey Mk 1 is a cracking car, BUT the colour is a tad dull and having done the LHD car thing in both 964 and 993 form, for me (as a road car only) it's a non starter.
The Mk 2 looks a lovely example and makes the Manthey equipped Mk 1 look a tad expensive perhaps ?
Your views please gentlemen . . .

Definitely the Mk2.
I agree with the reasons you've stated, but I'd also throw in that the Manthey car is a specialist market within an already specialist market, which might be difficult for resale, which is probably fine for a decent indy, but could be tricky to sell on privately.
Again, as you stated, when you put them both together, the mk2 really does look good value.
...plus I really don;t like the Manthey rear wing. Looks like a practical joke.

well my offer on the manthey car wasn't high enough for ol' henry so it looks like neither for me 
I like your style Craig!
You're just wandering round bidding people in the b
ks aren't you?You'll find that forced sale eventually.
ETA - Back on topic. MK2 for me. I love interesting cars like the Manthey one but I don't think I could pedal a left hooker quickly. I've been rh drive all my life apart from on holiday and I kept grabbing the door pocket when I went to change gear.

marky i know that's what it looks like but honest guv it isn't!yeah i'll find a forced sale eventually (either that or i'll wait so long the market will come to me!) but i can honestly say that every bid i've made on a car, i can honestly say it's what i think a car is worth.
everyone thinks their car is the dogs rather than a dog but if a car needs a couple of grand spent on it to put it right i can only deduct that from any serious offer, & believe me most cars out there look like they need a few grand spent at least!
the basalt car did look in mint condition mind you when i looked yesterday, a proper lovely looking car.
they manthey one? i know enough about it to know how i value it, henry values it differently & that's that. at least he was honest enough to talk me right through the car & let me make an honest opinion. funny how some folks on here have it in for him, 911virgin & henry couldn't have come across better in my humble.

that's how it's starting to look. GT3 one minute, air-cooled backdates the next...ks aren't you?You'll find that forced sale eventually.
Come on, work out which type is right for you, get one bought and come out to play with it :-)

No, I agree. I'll be playing hardball if all goes to plan and I'm shopping in the spring.We work too hard for our cash to give the stuff away.
