Lovely car. Thought there were more built than that given there were 17 lightweight M471 cars built?

This is the problem with the modern cars and I don't think you realise until you get into a proper old school car. I had a 991 for weekend and I honestly wouldn't waste my money, it felt like every other modern car and no sense of occaison. Ok it was stupidly fast, but just not special and certainly not worth the asking price.

yep have to agree - I'm going back to the older cars - very very hard to find decent examples though
