Or so I thought until looking at the service regime. Not a lot done between 1991 and 2013! What a shame.

If it wasn't at collector mileage and the price was more reasonable it would be a better proposition.

Rust is the biggest issue, mechanics can be refreshed, but the price needs to reflect that.

I'd prefer a higher mileage car I could drive and enjoy.

The lack of servicing whilst not being used is not a problem in my view. More important is current condition and whether any issues that may have been caused by the car sitting around have been corrected and also condition of the body work. Certainly worth looking at if you are in the market for a 3.2.

Too expensive for a 3.2 IMO.
Lovely car though, but i'd hunt for a cheaper car you can enjoy rather than leave in a garage through fear of putting miles on.

its lovely, if i was in the hunt would defo have this car checked out. Crimp if that car was at any of the leading specialists and it checks out as a good car it would be £45k day night long. Nuts but true and I bet you someone like Hexagon or Adrian Crawford snaps that car up for asking price if its a goodun and then makes decent margin on it.

I looked at a turquoise 993 at Portiacraft a few months ago for £26,995. Hexagon paid Portiacraft the full asking price and have marked it up at £45k!!!! I'm in the wrong business!

Possibly, but 20K miles with only a single non OPC or Specialist service isn't not being used.
