RSR is a great car, but CUP and NGT are not that different, especially so on 18 inch rims. And I really like the CUPs. For entertainment purposes (as Charles will attest), I'd rather drive his CUP @ 10/10 than my RSR @ 8/10 [

If any of you have the April 2003 edition of Porsche & 911 world to hand, he signal green car is for sale in the classifieds......described as a 964 RSR, Viper green M003 with 10,937km....up for £39,995 from a private collection in London.
In the same issue Autoclassica have a Minty (colour) CS with 46 clicks up for £38,995 !
Interesting how the prices have only recently gone crazy and secondly how the signal green car has only managed 3km in 5 years...is that a good thing? [
I think a lot of cars have had a fair bit spent on them --- and we are now 5 years on.
My personal view on mileage is that undriven cars are simply unreliable.
2000 miles a year is in my personal view a good starting point and driven at least once every couple of weeks seems to keep clutches smooth, discs and brakes free of corrosion, suspension supple, heater and starter motors spinning and bores oiled. The optimiser on the battery just gets it going !
And which of us would not enjoy every second of doing at least this mileage ?
Des --- how could you forget me ? Maritime Blue CS --- Simon's old car --- common as muck these maritime CS' !
And finally, the only other Maritime CS I saw for sale was one in Hertfordshire, looked after by JZM and advertised in the Sunday Times almost a year ago.
Other than the car advertised by Thomas Schmitz which seem to have been arriving for ages --- not used in something like the last 11 years ? Will be given a full service prior to delivery ? But still looks a very interesting car.
As an aside, the Kermit car is not on Thomas' web site, but is on Mobile.de as being sold by him ?
On reflection, this may be the Autofarm Maritime Blue car to which Simon refers....

The Thomas Schmitz car (below) has now arrived in the UK so I am doing my bit to reverse the UK's 964RS trade deficit. This one came in on the same (ill fated) trailer that took jon.b's back to Germany.
It is extremely tidy and has had a full Porsche dealer service, new tyres, new fluids, new pads etc a few weeks ago and is here being checked over for me by JAZ and notwithstanding not moving for a while (it was in dehumidified storage though) it appears to be healthy. Only reason I haven't actually taken delivery is it's not registered and the spring gate on the gearbox needs some work.
I should say thanks to a number on here who contacted me after the original post and special thanks to Vic Cohen for general wise counsel in getting it all to come together.

The paint is completely perfect mainly because it was repainted after a ding on the left rear wheel. No panels were replaced but rather than match the paint it was very well repainted with no expense spared it would seem.
As you can see the wheels are unmarked and the seats and belts etc are in very good nick.
To my way of thinking the mileage at 24k is high enough that I can use it properly without destroying the value completely (assuming I don't hit anything!). Frankly it is a tool and it's meant to be used.
