Default Zyclamrot/El Guapo is sold

All,
I have decided to re-post this since not many may have read it on the original thread.

Hello everyone,
Zyclamrot/El Guapo has a new owner. I am sure the new owner will make himself known in the near future. I do not know who this person is as all was handled by Alvaro at Parkhaus1. Alvaro is an outstanding Porsche enthusiast and business person. I do not like to share selling prices so please do not ask. All I can say is that values are increasing and nice examples command top dollar.
I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated everyone on this forum and will miss the Zy car. I am in the process of selling a 2013 convertible 427 vette and potentially buying a 997 turbo to match my wife's.

Warm regards,
Alan

The new owner will have a beautiful machine, thanks to dedicated owners.

To those that spent the time and cash to make this car what it is today thanks.

Going to guess that it sold somewhere in the "GTS Values" range.

Which is still a fraction of the cost that it took to get the car where it is.

That car is likely in the top 5% of 928s out there today.
And it commanded a price that reflects that.

I agree with all that! Love that car! Nearly bought it once!

Hi Guys,
I am the proud new owner of "El Guapo". She finally got here yesterday. Thanks to Mr Merlin, I had the courage to buy her sight unseen. I have collected cars,( mostly GT cars but also many Prosches), all my life but only recently acquired my 1st 928...Fell in love and Now have 3. I have just started to examine The Zyc car and the workmanship and engineering are fantastic. I'm anxious to get to know her, waiting for the roads here in NY clean up soon. Just looking at her in the garage get the juices flowing. Looking forward to speaking with Boomboom and others.....What a great color!!!

You kicked a goal buying that superb example! I've always loved that colour, and in fact still have a pic of your car on the noticeboard in my office. Congratulations!

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.Here's a pic of the 89 S4 5 speed,Venetian/gray shows 70k miles but the previous owners must have been like Allen, looks like 7K. The sliver/blue 89 S4 5 speed driver is being serviced. Then I post all 3 together.
More pics this week as I detail them both. We need a nice rain to clean the roads here and enjoy these great cars.Also will update my profile....
I will be posting FS my 86 Carrera and 996 Turbo as the 928 has won me over.
