I love off-road driving and racing, but it is incredibly hard on vehicles. IMHO a $100,000 'safari' 911 is too expensive to beat the crap out of with that kind of driving, let alone a $1M+ Singer.

But a $40K 996 Turbo with a salvage title converted to a safari? Maybe just right!
theres 100k jeeps/trucks that are built to go offroad and never do lol. Safari 911 is for show!
safari 986 on the otherhand...

a 911 equipped for the mad max scenario, seems more prescient by day.

i wonder if that would fit in my bunker.

It's very subdued and understated by typical Gemballa standards.

I think it is interesting how many of these are coming out of the woodwork - there MUST be a market here, otherwise, why bother?
