Hi all,

I'm after a 964 C2 for weekend/track use. So first question - anyone know of a nice one for sale?

A couple of other questions:
- Can a C4 be converted to 2wd?
- Was there a C2S or is it just C2?

Cheers!

Turquoise? Thats mint green!

There is a nice low mile C2 advertised at top money.
Yes it is possible to change a C4 to a C2 but its not simple and very expensive, the usual advise is buy a C2 and save the trouble.
There is no C2S. All the wide body cars are 4wd apart from a the few RSR cars and of course the turbo.

Thanks for the info. Which is the C2 you're referring to?

Mint green one is Rutland racings on here.

I offered him £35k before I bought my GT3 and he said no. A mate (not knowing I'd already spoken to the seller) then emailed about it and the guy is after £45k!

That's a lot for a lookalike with a sunroof. Nice though.

Bang on. Sunroof would be gone if it was my build.

£42k will secure the car apparently.

Still a modified 964 at that price will be hard to get your money back, unless you plan to keep then its good value. It will have been £50k+ to build that including the cost of the car. I know first hand.

Exactly Lee. You done a superb proper job.

Anything north of £35k is too much to most people, as £35k opens the door to a lot of proper models, 930s, 964Ts, GT3s, GT2s etc.

ETA - It's the closest thing to a brand new 964 mind, which is a big draw for me. smile

Has anyone seen the car ? Is it as immaculate as claimed?

I'm guessing it will be mint Mohitos. It was featured in mags and on Jasmines website when built. Like I say it's as close to a brand new 20-odd year old car as you can get.
But no I haven't seen it.

Lee - Would love to sell you the car, but at the moment I'm still keeping hold of it. I may be weighing things up in the spring mind, as I still have a bad Ferrari itch. Want to sample a 360 or 355 at some point or even a 512TR (although that bloody Harris has just brought a load of interest to those again. smile ).

I wish I could've sampled a Ferrari before buying the GT3 as it's a keeper really and I know a Ferrari probably won't be, once the novelty of the noise wears off. Will be gutting to sell the GT3 if I do, as only one or maybe two MK1 Clubbies pop up for sale a year, but like I say I'll weigh things up in the spring. smile

Top money but both sound like nice cars although that does not guarantee they will not need money spending. Good luck with your search.

Blimey! That second one is £27k and still needs new rear lights and reflector!! That'll be £27,700 then by the time you even get it home and tidied. wink

355's seem good value and are pretty reliable? I think I prefer these over a 360.

I should venture over really but Im scared and there are a couple of Porsches I have not owned yet smile

Yeah bit like 3.2 vs 964, the 355 is a bit rawer but the rear end is starting to look dated. Still stunning overall though. A 360 spider would be great for a Euro-hoon.
