Talking UK Bad Boy




....as seen yesterday when I went to collect my orange C2 from the local specialist......3.6 964 Turbo reputedly sold on in 6 weeks for a greater than 50% price hike.

What do we think it sold for ??

It sold for so much money, that it will never be driven in anger, ***** out, in the rain up a mountain pass again.

....unless you have the money to fix it....a couple of years ago we were driving on 101 south of San Jose, on the way to Monterey for the Historics and the Pebble Beach Concours, we passed a silver Ferrari 250 GTO driven by its owner.....that we then saw on the "grass" at the Concours with 25 other GTO's.

One can only hope. If the car could talk, it would BEG for a spirited drive from time to time.

Sadly you may be right. Makes me glad mine's only a 3.3 and a "nice driver" - because two weeks ago I spent an entire weekend just driving - two lane mountain twisty roads in Colorado - 5 mountain passes - 820 miles. She got quite the workout - never skipped a beat. So much fun. BUt I'm not sure about the being driven in anger in RAIN part in Turbo I need to be a better driver still for that I think..now if it was a C4....

Happy driving-

Is it the one owner car, that was given to a retiring banker in the day?

If it was I was hot on its tail, but at the last knockin a third party guy offered to buy car and plate together for a higher price.

Several dealers were offering £90k and looking to sell it for £120-£140k.
Nice car and about 40k miles.

Hi Simon , the final price I heard was £180k ( currently $250k for our US friends )

but that might just have been garage talk , there was a gathering of early 911 rallymen with deep pockets present
