No3rd was still hurting us. SS17 was a repeat of 15 and although still incredibly foggy was bright enough to see more, and actually was a pretty fast stage. SS18 an enjoyable repeat of SS16 The last 3 stages were dry and fast and we felt we were really in the groove. There were a lot of crashes this year. Which can be unnerving when you come across them. We were 2nd and 3rd cars to a couple of big crashes. And the safety gear in a race car really is a necessity in motorsport. The car has a few more rattles, and a very noisy gearbox, but we are done. Well done to the tour boys, who completed as it was not an easy morning.

Was probably one of the best LHD genuine documented low km RS in the world. Wasnt for sale at the time I looked at it but i was offered it in Feb 2014 for 200K CHF. I passed on it and offered it up to a couple of wealthy collectors including Matt (on this board) as well as a couple of others with the means. The car was sold last month for almost the asking price minus the swiss tax for canton Zurich = 8%. As Matt and others would be aware this was superaltive example - better than the 10,000km $1 million example you posted.

So 200k CHF. Thats 130K GBP. Thats about what they are worth IMO in that condition although I appreciate the market has run up a bit since March when the car was sold but thats why Im am being warned by folk like my swiss contacts that the market is reaching a bubble. Consensus is when Europe markets pick up pace things will change. I know my European stocks have posed over 19% gains this year so things are heading slowly in the right direction...

Not very good sorry camera phone...

P.S. John I know its only of passing interest to you but even if you can get 100K GBP net for your car today you should seriously consider doing a deal with Thomas Scmidt (although he prefers RS & GT2) or another similar collector. Actually i can probably put you in touch with some swiss that will broker your car into UK as long as you leave some margin for them. I think you could still net 90K GBP from the deal clean. PM off line if you want an intro. If you are considering the future value Id suggest netting around 200K right now will look quite reasonable medium term. Having said that you still get enjoyment from it and dont need the money so perhaps its really not worth worrying about it. Stop looking at the classified and you'll probably enjoy the car even more IMO.
