Did you ever hear the story about Mr. Bean's Mclaren F-1?

Used it as a daily driver, smashed it and then it became the most expensive car repair in the UK

Car cost 4 times its cost to repair it.... and then it was too valuable to drive so he sold it....

Totally insane. Ugly car. None of the custom styling looks good -- none of it. Panel fitment is poor in some places. That this got over $100K is astonishing.

Pcar Market has entered the debate, too?!

"We are pleased to present this 1998 Porsche 993 Carrera S finished in Ocean Blue Metallic over a Classic Grey interior. Perhaps the most sought-after 993 of all, the Carrera S..."



1hr left on this one...been sitting at $135k range for a couple of days...if it was a C4S, bet it would get more traction...I mean we'd have better handling...or at least 40% more power distributed to the front...um, I'm out of jokes here...

I just want to add that the bumpers, front and rear, are hideous. Everything they did with the bumpers is wrong. I'm sure it was very expensive, and the people who did the work are fine craftsmen, but if there was ever an example of money not buying taste, this car is it.

I’m just amazed that a project car fetched this much money.

As I've harped in this thread... there is a desire for 1) C2S 2) Staple color combos (Arctic Silver on BLACK)

Matter of time before these cars cross $200k, which is where they should be.
