Cars for sale at ragley..

[9hellheaven]

I am off to ragley sunday in my 2S 997, then across to Germany via Holland for a bit of a blast on monday through Friday. I am looking for another Porsche and I am open minded about what (due to test drive a 1989 911 Turbo Le Saturday) to go for. Will plenty of cars be for sale on Sunday do you think?.. Also any thoughts on what to go for with say around 35k budget? Would a 993 be to close to the 997, and should I be thinking further back in the line. Needless to say I want a contrast to make it worth while.
Thanks for any thoughts..

There's the Coy's auction. Nothing much caught my eye in their Lot list though. A couple of dubious 2.7RS replicas and a few other earlier cars. Not at the show, but this looks like a lot of fun for well under £20K. That would complement your modern Porsche nicely!

Hmm auctions..not sure thats where I want to look, I always feel as though its stuff thats been hanging around for donkeys in dealers that nobody wants. I would rather buy private sale in the car park at ragley, at least that way you get to have a good chat with the seller. Anyway see what Sunday brings.

Me too. Best places to look for earlier cars are Porsche club magazine classifieds, specialist dealers and specialist forums like DDK. Full pre-purchase inspections are the way forward with early cars and a careful check through the history. There are likely to be quite a few cars for sale on Sunday, but don't rush into it. Buying older cars takes quite a bit of experience.

I'd be looking at this one if I had some spare moolah...

There is meant to be a for sale area, there is usually a number of cars with signs in if you walk round the car park. Also 911 virgin was there with cars last year!
