Not driven one so wouldn't know but always liked the look of them and the more cars I drive the more I think that older is better !

What's The £POA ?

I had a 911 'Club Sport' for 12 years (at the same time as a 997 GT3 and 2.7RSL).

IMO it's one of the nicest 911s of all time.

You'll need a fair bit more than £40k Richard.

Beautiful but is it worth the premium over a 3.2?I've never driven a cs so couldn't comment.

Youll have an awsome garage if you do go for it. Chapeau!

yes thats what I thought

perhaps another ship that's now sailed and is no longer a sensible proposition as a toy to really use properly and frequently ?

maybe a basic Guards 3.2 a far better bet

40 would have been not out of the question, 50 though is pure comedy

mileage and price almost gets logarithmic when you get lower and lower

lovely car though

It's just not enough car for £40k plus, the Paul Stephens one.

How about a 928GTS manual at £15k? Would make a lovely counterpoint to your 2 911s. 5.4 V8, monstrous torque, great fun to drive and surprisingly hustle-able with the manual dog leg box.

3.2? not enough car for 40k? why's that then?
928 I'm sure they have lots of nice features couple with a big V8, so what so do some Jags.

But sorry fugliest Pork ever produced with a design that just dated very quickly.
I'd have an awesome 968 for 15k even a club sport maybe.

I think the chaps on IB were talking recently about a low mile 3.2CS that was up for £60-70k if I remember correctly.

It does look lovely but I would personally prefer a LHD 964RS for £10k more.

Cheers

928GTS all the way fab, very underrated and a real bruiser that can do the twisters with the best if them. 3.2 fab also, but there were zillions built in comparison to the GTS.

Can see exactly where you're coming from Joel.

Why's that then? Because there are plenty around for a third of that sum, and plenty of nice ones for half of that sum.

The fact that you pitch a 968 having criticised the styling of the 928 is a hard one to figure out, given that the 968 is actually a revision of the 944 with styling cues from the 928. And half the engine of course. But I'm guessing you've never driven one.

The 968 bandwagon shows no sign of slowing down.
