No, it was neither of theirs. That car (Jim w) was sold to another guy a year ago, also in stl. I had heard you purchased a silver cgt , took me reading an hour into reading this thread to figure out you were you. I keep getting texts that my cAr is at cars and coffee and have to explain that my car is a hermit at the moment and lives in a box not to be seen.
Hopefully the next C&C we could have all 3 present.

Hi All,
Been looking for a CGT with UK/EU spec. What's your considered opinion on the current market value of a sub 100 mile imported CGT into the UK? no OPC service history, except OPC recalls.
Thanks Jon

I think Porsche of Fremont finally sold Biko's red CGT. Anyone knows how much it went for if in fact it was finally sold?

Thanks LA BRIT - agreed. Not sure whether such a car will be full of niggles, given its lack of use etc. No warranty would be a concern and depreciation could take the enjoyment out of driving it occasionally.

When I bought mine, the gurus at Reading said the ones that develop niggles are those that are never driven. Obviously nothing major but you get rubber parts that go hard and brittle, weeping seals etc and this can all add up in terms of cost.
If you are going to drive the car better to get one that has some miles on it, than pay a premium for a collectors model because if you put miles on it, you'll lose that premium straight away.

Thanks MickB - agreed. Can foresee potential issues further down the road through lack of use, but the real kicker would be the loss of premium as you say, given I actually want to use and drive it as its maker intended. As you say, probably best to go for a well cared for and driven example which has a few miles on the clock and has had its fluids changed annually etc. The search continues....
