I am looking for the above - Left Hand Drive is perfectly acceptable. Where do I start?
And more to the point, how much do I pay???

(FYI: I posted a similarly stupid thread about buying a 964 Turbo 3.6 a while back and did nothing about it and so... have NOTHING and the fking values have shot up in the meantime).

Any feedback on the car, vendors, and price would be much appreciated.

Is RHD a problem?

There were never very many of these for sale but there were 2 for sale in the classifieds at the start of May 13.
- speed yellow for c£110k which was at OPC Byfleet but now at HWM (this has been for sale for quite some time)
- Arena Red for £130k at OPC Swindon. Listed at the start of May 13 and now sold)


If you want LHD then last time I looked there were a couple in Europe, otherwise a few for sale in the states.

Neil had two. A Midnight Blue one that took a long time to shift at £120k with c35000 miles and a lighter blue one that sold very very quick at same miles but £110k. Best of luck getting hold of Neil though. I tried contacting him two weeks ago about two of his cars and he never gets back to you.

On the car itself. I have a speed yellow one with 55,000 miles. Have had it over two years now and love it. The car looks great and drives better. Took it to le Mans last year and it behaved very well. I have had problems with fan belts but this is now well sorted having spent aboput £1k on a Serpentime system that seems to have worked.

Good luck in your hunt!!

No sh#t but what was wrong with the arena red one? I assume £130k is spare change if you are after an S.

Just checked and found I was mistaken.........

I know of a speed yellow example with <12k miles but not sure if the owner will ever sell.....
