1990 C4 Zermatt or Polar Coupe Manual. £ 13,995
Top end rebuild by Unit 11 at 150K.
Paint work is rather shabby with rust on sills, wings, scuttle. Rubbers need replacing.
Front rotors and pads need doing. Rears were done 5K ago.

1990 C4 Guards Coupe Manual. £ 9,000
No rebuild - 174K miles.

Track Car 1992 C2 Cobalt Coupe Manual. £ 26,000
993 six speed. Full roll cage, buckets, striped interior. Big Reds, RS suspension components. Looks like a hot film conversion?

1991 C2 Baltic Coupe Manual. £ 13,250
This one really looks a winner. The paint looks lovely. Been around for a while, could it be the colour?

The C4 seems overpriced if it has the rust and rotors and pads issues.. but I could not see any of that in the ad, do you know this car? plus an engine rebuild for £4k, including clutch and flywheel? is than not a bit cheap? not confidence inspiring. Also hate the steering wheel and wheels.

The C2 looks lovely, I love that colour. Perhaps the high mileage and lack of rebuild are responsible....

I like the cobalt one.

Er brain fade I meant baltic - in my defence its nearly an anagram

The baltic blue one went a long time ago and is now owned by a 911uk forum member. Not long after buying it some catastrophic engine work was needed. He's ended up buying another engine and making the best from the two with plenty of new parts. When he's finished it will likely push the overall cost to £20k+

The 'new entry' Guards Red at £9k is very good value and with money spent should be an investment. I thought hard about it but really I'm looking for one that comes with most/all works done and accept I will have to pay the premium. Somehow I just cant push myself for the cobalt blue C4 at JZM - it is just too much.

Bit of a bummer for whoever bought that baltic one then! I think there is a certain degree of engine roulette when you buy any 20year old supercar though.

Such a bargain that Keith has now sold it, all within 48 hours I think.

Bought by a 911uk member. New owner will love it!

That's a killer look - slate grey, RH speedlines, red calipers. Very, very nice! Sounds like it may need some work but worthy of this thread.

No idea, but to get through a UK MOT it has to have some kind of manual release. I think it looks poor myself having no handles, otherwise nice. LHD and no sunroof is a real bonus as well.

Doing well so far over 13k with 6 days to run

Looks nice externally, though I'm not keen on the Max power doors (opened by solenoid I guess) or the ruffled leather non sports seats

Also dropping oil after each run suggests the leak is possibly quite bad, Ive never seen one that actually drops oil on a regular basis

Interesting to know what suspension its got on it

Great colour though (I'm pretty certain its Stone grey, not slate)
