I think Floyd M is a driver, not a collector. Maybe he doesn't care about putting miles on cars he likes to drive?

BTW, Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr Bean, is putting his McLaren F1 with 41K miles up for sale, asking price $15M. It's been wrecked and reconstructed twice, F1 buffs say neither the mileage or the damage fixed inhouse by McLaren will affect its value.

Orig 349 than another 50 +1 in 04.

400 Enzo's officially then add the Enzo's they choose not to account for - at least 5 more in 05 were built.

And that engine is very close to every 599!

Ever see a V10 in another Porsche

Mclaren factory billed over 1M for one repair.

You got a valid point here. Never occurred to me that no other Porsches have the V10 and probably will never be used in another Porsche!

There was a really great story in a British classic car magazine last year detailing the rebuilding process. Mr Atkinson wanted to save as much of the original car as possible for sentimental reasons so rather than just start with a new tub which McLaren would have been willing to construct, they instead reconstructed by hand his original chassis and also many body parts. Total bill was around $1.8M USD, but he essentially got a brand new car with some of the original appointments such as all of the interior bits.
I've been reading up a bit more on its impending sale this morning, none of the F1 pundits have any doubt that it will set yet another record price for an F1 road car sale. Each of the last three sold over the past year or so has been higher than the one before it.

I don't remember the number - believe Porsche registered over 50 patents on the CGT.

This is insane. Makes the Carrera GT look like a bargain.

My buddy has a 1994 Turbo 3.6. Bought it 10 years ago for $50K. A year ago a nice one could get around $100K, there's now a couple on Ebay "asking" for well over $200K. Crazy is right. I don't think there's any way in Hell that guy will get anywhere near that for a 993.

That's what everyone was saying about the Enzo that just sold for $3mm+. It was sitting for a long time BUT someone ended up buying it.

Naples Motorsports had a 3500 mile Enzo listed for 2.85 million sold within a week or two. Having purchased cars from them before, they are pretty firm on their prices so I imagine it sold very close to asking. Safe to say the market is still going up on these cars.

He's reportedly already been offered close to $600k for it.

What am I missing here? I don't think of 993 Turbo's as being particularly limited production. Certain combinations of colors/options might be, but enough to make it worth six times what others are going for?
Other than it's time capsule mileage, I'm still not getting it.

It's a Turbo S. Total of 182 made in the history of ever.
