As for the car, a better effort this time. I had lunch with a RSG member who filled me in on the background when it was last up for sale. If that white tip can sell for $24,000 then be flipped for $30,000 with apparent rust problems, then $42,000 is not outrageous for a manual C2. The thing the more experienced among us (hard won experience) recognise is that you can sink $20,000 into a 964 in a heartbeat.
More and more I'm looking at those bare shell rebuilds and thinking there is a cheap way to have a brand new Porsche. Maybe Herman could go Ivory White for his semi retirement. It won't happen anytime soon because being chased by Lola would be too hard on a new car.

Re the blue '64. I almost fell of my seat when I saw the poles. I've just done the struts and, as Macca said, only a wee job. Perhaps he doesn't really want to sell it?!
@Macca utterly stunning car mate!!!

John. You've been on the Kava again!
Cheap Porsche? Davids bare metal rebuild will owe him 100K by the time he finishes if he factors in his own time on the interior. It wont be concourse either by his own admission. I saw 964 total restoration/glass out respray at Precision yesterday running 20K+ with a 993 Targa done to concourse standards recently 30K+. Steve will be commanding mid 100s to do anything mildly correct numbers full resto or outlaw custom by 2018 mark my words. I had a long chat with Kip Colvey, owners at Precision, Paul Higgins and others yesterday and do do anything properly now is getting bug $$$ as the local independents/paint shops really dont want the work - too many unknowns and time burners with labour being the most expensive resource and owner expectations for top $$$ rebuilds being what it is often means out of pocket on these jobs.
My take on the local scene is that within a few years if you want a "like new old long hood resto/recreation" you will be having to commission offshore. Steves about the only one currently taking on the work at reasonable cost but I suspect not for much longer. Other than that its down to South island for coach building specialist and mega $$$ restos or offshore to Paul Stephens and the like. Book mark this as it will be interesting to look back on it in 2020!

Someone earlier posted re the NZ new C2 with 30K on the clock. Know the car its white and absolutely original (except steering wheel which is period but rare RS moiker version). Very nice car. It sold about 3-4 years ago for 55K. Considered it but too nice to drive like I do. If its changed hands for 70-75K recently then it was still a good buy. You could buy a very average example today on TM for 35K and it would owe you 60K to be reliable but would never be manual, NZ new, 30,000km and mint factory original without belmish like that one...

That said, there are some young guys like Dan that hopefully come up through the ranks and refresh the scene with their passion and enthusiasm.

A mate was telling me last night about a NZ 964 manual he was looking at recently and considering. It has kilometers in the 30k region and looked like he'd need to part with $60k. In the end he said it went for $75k we both figured it probably wouldn't be driven in anger ever and would end up in a collection. Does anyone know about this car?
Who purchased the car? How was it being marketed for your mate in know of its sale?
