And most surprisingly of all is that there are only 3 C2 manual coupe 964 for sale ranging from £44,000 to £50,000 - 2 are red and 1 is white;

Given RS production numbers and todays sticker prices I am really surprised that the RS variety has dwarfed all other listings, even that of C4? This could go 3 ways, coupe 964 have lots of room to appreciate, RS has some room to depreciate or a combination of both. Either way C2 coupe manuals are looking a good buy even at today's high 40's prices as they seem very thin on the ground. Perhaps that chap in Cornwall is not so crazy after all.
I think owners of RS cars are looking to cash in, hence the amount for sale...
I would guess that most were purchased when prices were a lot lower!

If I was in this situation, I'd sell the RS and buy a well sorted C2 RS clone for a fraction of the price that can be driven hard on a daily basis

This discussion on the scarcity of manual C2 coupes is what keeps me flip flopping on selling mine. I know I should sell it as it barely gets driven. But if I do, and regret it, whats the likelihood I could find a replacement?

Looks like a nice car. Unusual to see both C2's on the market fitted with a LSD! I know the rhd drive car at RPM and its a very nice example.

It also looks like 99% of C2 Coupes appear to be Guards Red?!

the nine excelleance car looks great and with a proper driving position

the mods are exactly the ones I'd do ( my car is already on Pss10's & a g-pipe but thats all at this stagge, would love to bring it up to 280 + bhp )

"The suspension has been upgraded to PSS10s, H&R anti roll bars, the brakes have been upgraded also. It has a lightweight flywheel and new clutch, a 9e exhaust system with tuning to approx 285hp."

My understanding of 'flood damage' is being stretched.
