Having a leg pull Paul .... they are indeed rare and command BIG money for a good one ....... are you tempted?

Tempted? not at 1.09, maybe when we get to parity
Do you think the £ will get to parity on the Euro? Better buy more left hookers[

Hi Keith, Tom has a lovely white cup car for sale, think its around 90,000 Euro, check his website.
its the 993 cup I was referring to, had some nice reports on it,
It was a championship winner , also nut and bolt rebuild by the guy in Germany who did a fantastic job on my GT2 twin plug engine ................plenty of inaccuracies cud all be remedied fairly cheaply ..................i nearly bought it off Tom Johannssen before Baby Blue turned up ......................who knows what it s worth ????????usual answer, wat someone will pay ..................its also well sorted for immediate fun ,Baby Blue s taken 6 months after total rebuild to get in proper running condition .............
Remember seeing this car when AndiM bought it to Uk from Thomas,,must be '05 from memory(?)...doesn't seem to have been used that much since then.
I can't recall if it has the clock (engine hours run). meter, but you should be able to check since comprehensive rebuild.
I considered buying it at one point, but speaking with experienced owners, especially PaulH, put me off of using a cup on the road and into a CS.
Still hanker for one, may wait until I am as old as Vic or lose the plot before it happens though! []

Nothing compared to a 997 cup car gearbox rebuild believe me. these cars are pennies to run by comparison. Although a 993 cup car will feel very sharp on the road, it is far more like a road car to drive that the GT3 cups and not as daunting as you think. Come off of the anti roll bars, soften the damping - many have after market dampers - and you will be fine. Just dont curb it and avoid bit pot holes - rose joints do not like sharp impacts. My car has rose jointed suspension and will have a very extreme set up but i'm fully intending to drive it on the road.
