Interesting link RS ZWEI. Looks like both the red and black car have been run in quite a few Targa events.

Peter Booth did tell me it'd be hard to find an unmolested GT3.

Good spotting Nik. Nothing is sacred on the interweb eh!

That leaves the silver one on TM (we assume) as non Targa. However its ex UK and looks like its also done plenty of track miles.

Still, to be perfectly honest non of these cars have been proven to have had any accident/repairs. In the UK and US almost all GT3s would have seen some track time.

Good luck in the hunt. Once you drive one be prepared to buy one

Heres the solution boys! Its will save us all alot of money. We can use Johns garage and run any evening we choose. $79 on TM!

Don't give up your day job and become a fortune teller! I see a long hood 2.4 in my future or more likely a backdate on the C4. Nothing in my garage had less than 100,000 on the clock so not low mileage garage queens. That said, the Turbo 3.6 is becoming too valuable to put miles on when I have the other two for a DD and trackday car. I think it will be the first departure but I have to get my head around that as mentally I'm not there yet.

No financial pressure anytime soon but just as Simon sold his 993rs after walking past it in the garage for two months, such is where I think this will end up.

The white C2 in ChCh must have sold. Anyone we know pick it up?

Those long hoods sure are pretty. I looked to buy one 10 years ago. Took it out for a few hours. It was not a great example. Took 30 mins for the gearbox to warm up and never shifted smoothly (probably syncho-mesh). Windows kept fogging up on me in the wet and it had a funky damn smell. Didn't like starting when cold much either. Realized i didnt have the patience for one, although as I say it wasn't a pristine example. I grew up mostly in a generation of cars with air-con & electric windows. I guess that's the rub. Anything with a choke, poor hvacs, temperamental mechanical s reminds me too much of my first car (a 1360 Triumph Herald Coupe LOL!). In hindsight I did the right thing keeping the 993 as it has started first time from storage every time for 7 years and proven 100% reliable!

The backdate on the C4 is a much better option IMHO. I see the GBP has slipped back even further making some of the second hand Paul Stephens backdate 964 longhood's very attractive as a turn key solution right now. At least there's a growing industry backdating 964s to there should be no shortage of expertise and parts in this area.

The rub with owning multiple cars I have found. Its hard to give any one of them the attention they deserve and its usually one in particular that falls mostly unused. When insurance, WOF, Rego & service time comes around you kinda look at the picture and start to question whats happening. Its a nice problem to have. The good news if you sell the 964T is it will have held its price well and given you 10 years of relatively cost free P-car enjoyment. You cant ask for more than that!

Thats why you have only one car

RS ZWEI

A bit left field, but Turner have a written off 1985 3.2 Carrera coming up for auction. Could be a goo parts car for someone?

Looks like they slid under the rear of a truck, on an angle.

Looks like engine and transmission are OK. Could be worth $10K?

993MAN

I couldn't personally buy something like that.
