Not sure but I read the latest issue of GT Porsche and they have a couple of pages on the 964 Turbo market. It seems that Asia and Australia are taking cars out of the UK. The drivers are the currency, affluence and laws e.g. HK has laws that make it easier to import 20 year old cars and the Turbo 3.6 passes the threshold this year. Maybe Clint has sold his car into HK, where it came from.

He's on the 964 Turbo forum advertising. It'd be a shame to lose a 3.6 from NZ.

So does this mean it's still for sale, but no longer on TM?

Paul, relax there are still ten of these cars around if that itch won't go away I sense that the total cost of the 964 may shorten my Turbo 3.6 ownership tenure, but no rush.

Not panicking, just following closely how the semi-collectable Pcar market is going in NZ, and Aussie for that matter as most NZ collectables end up there.

Things don't seem to be selling? I am surprised the Red 64T hasn't sold to a collector as there must only be a handful of 20yr old Pcars with 10K on the clock?

I notice the Aussie Pcars aren't selling and are falling in asking price. There are dozens of 93T's, manual 93 4S or 2S, a couple of 64T's, dozens of Aussie new long hoods etc, that haven't seemed to sell over the past 6-12 months and slowly drop in price. If you had a lazy $100-150K for a collectable, you would be spoiled for choice at the moment.

Yet in the UK - Pcar prices are rising..........?

It's just a past time..................

But - yes the itch is still there, your car was brutal!!! - and I quite liked it.

I have to wait for the house to be finished first and for you to be semi-broken and licking your wounds (and wallet) having slid down the same slippery slope as many before you........

(I'm already broken from the house)

John McM

Yes, that slope is slippery. Just ordered the spoiler grille for my ducktail. For anyone else out there thinking of this, you need to locate the previous model grille, not the one off your 964. $300 landed for a piece of plastic. I'm leaning more and more to backdating or Gruppe, bit by bit or $ by $.

BTW I can commiserate with you re houses. These guys are charging 3/4 of an engine rebuild just to put in a new retaining wall. It's not rocket science but labour is expensive.
