Someone must of pulled out as it's back down to £14K

I wouldn't touch this with a barge pole as water and electrics don't mix

I bet if they added a picture of the car submerged the auction would be at zero!

I thought Cat B's couldn't be put back on the road?

According to RAC, Category B: body shell should be crushed. Signifies extensive damage, although some parts are salvageable. Should never re-appear on road, although reclaimed parts can be used in other road-going vehicles.

I'm confused

My concern would be internal rust within any of the closed/partially closed body structure. Very easy for water to become trapped in some sections. If you're looking for a trackcar that you intend to e-dip then its a bargain!

Never mind the 'submarine' model above. How about this 80k miles 3.3 Turbo (3.6 lookalike) in Polar Silver at JZM for £80k

Mmm been thinking about Turbos. I could probably build an Outlaw 3.8 Twin Turbo 964 for perhaps less. But yes a 3.3 Turbo is a lovely car.

C2, sub 100k & 92 model is a rare catch - given the attractive price it shouldn't last long.

Hi Meek, (Andy)

I am the chap that bought your car. (I joined the UK911 forum and someone mentioned it looked like Andy's old car). They sent me a thread link, and so I have also joined rennlist !.

Its my first Porsche and I am slowly learning.

I am desperate to find out more about it, if you wouldn't mind sharing ?

I fell completely for design/mod "theme" you were aiming for and had to buy it. (A completely emotional purchase, with my wife and children's support !)

I use it 3 days a week (fri to sun) and use an old diesel focus the rest of the time as this is more appealing to me than spending 35k on a new car !

The car is now at 127k , running very well with 4% compression loss. New sunroof seal / oil return pipe / aircon upgrade for new gas / replacement speakers (with damaging the interior or cutting holes or changing the oem speaker grills) / full paint correction detail (removed swirls)

Happy to keep you updated ? I can see from the extensive service history the money, care and energy you have put into it.
