Default Has Ninemeister aborted the 3.8RS replica project?

It looks like the 3.3T that Ninemeister bought to convert into a 3.8RS replica is for sale complete. If it is then I'm glad as I thought it was sacrilege to destroy such a good car!

It looks very nice although I think he paid less than £20k for it, so I wonder what he's done do it to justify the £25k asking price? If he gets it then great as it is very similar to my car, although mine has just had £10k spent on it and is in a much nicer shade of silver...

P.S You'd think he'd know that they have 320bhp not 330bhp!

Don't knock it - just think what a bargain your car was!

their car was the one they pipped me to the post on when I had the ppi booked, and yes as you say I should see mine as the bargain it was. Still going by the UK RHD prices I think they are pitching a little high, oh and I know he paid less than 20k.

Hi Steve,

I remember, it was you who said it cost less than £20k orginally! ePorsch bought Spark S's RHD car for £19.5k and it was sold for near £25k, which is about right for a good condition higher mileage RHD car.

I agree £25k is too high for a LHD 3.3 in the UK, but aren't good 965s going for nearer £25k on the continent though?

I think that the differential between good 965s whether left or right hand drive is closing as there are fewer of them about. Of course you and me both know that LHD 965s drive much better than RHD ones!

Tim.

i've seen a few in France starting at around 34k€ which is in line with your UK prices. Good news for me eh??? I've been torn between getting French reg or keeping on a UK plate, although stricly speaking I can only do this for a limited period of time. So am highly likely to change to French soon. Having also started French service history as well, hopefully I can command equivelant pricing.

I agree, it seems priced as though it's RHD, unless the car is in really good condition.

Unrealistic price! My car did sell through eporsch probably for near to £25k but had had some money spent on it plus had the speedline replicas.

I brought for £22,350 from a dealer with warranty and 48k service which I thought was a fair price for rhd car with good history albeit higher miles.

LHD/RHD

mobile DE tells it all,965's are very strong money in Germany at present and Europe is a larger market place than blighty.
I bought mine for less than £20K three years ago but those days are long gone for straight well kept cars.
I think if you get a problem free car for sub £20k you've stolen it,and good luck to you.

Regards Gaz,,,,

PS, mine is proper hand drive,, I SIT ON THE LEFT!!!!!!

If he gets it then great as it is very similar to my car, although mine has just had £10k spent on it and is in a much nicer shade of silver I think the" Polar Silver" is a better color, as the "Zermatt Silver" looks like what use to be called aluminum paint, like they paint sign post with
