944 Turbo Cup Auction on Harry's Garage

[Peter Empson]

I thought this might be the same car that was for sale over here a few years ago, but it's a more recent import than that. Whatever the case I can't imagine there are too many of them in the UK:

I guess there's a question of how much cache it holds to UK buyers, but will be interesting to see what it sells for.

That guide price looks less than half its true value??

Yeah I was thinking nearer £80k from memory.

If I won the lotto, there wouldn't be a Cup in my 20 car garage. Aside from looking at it, what exactly would you do with it?

 

[Waylander]

Reasonable point indeed,

but isn’t that most car collection, just look at never drive
Jay Leno and Nick Mason are two exceptions to that observation that spring to mind

 

[John Sims]

When ever Cup cars come up I am transported back to Silverstone those many happy, sunny, years ago and the Cup Cup affair. It was a thing to behold.

I'll sit in the garage with a beer or 2, and just look at my car or bike for an hour. Usually after I get home from a hoon. But never driving something just doesn't float my boat.

Indeed - that was the Cup that kept on giving. Happy days !
