Nice one Lee, hope to see the car out and about......[]

Suprised you don't use it more Lee, it's not as if the difference in a few £K on re-sale, if you were ever to part with it would change your world.[]
Des, Vic and myself were at Snetterton earlier in the week with our colourful aircooled leichtbau trio []
It really was an exceptional day, the kind of enjoyment and satisfaction of ownership that cannot be experienced by garaging and road use []

No I'm not....I'm just encouraging you all to use your cars as much as possible and if it works with one person then I have my own little victory[
]Besides what you are saying is complete ozzy rubbish....some changes are allowed under the 'still in escence original' banner some are not???......cage/strut/steering wheel Yes, motec or suspension No. What codswallop - are there 'still original' classifications now, where do I get these details from[

Of coarse nothing implied to you misfortune.
Not had time to run it in yet let alone track it. It has great road presence. Totally drivable. Might go shopping in it tomorrow.[]
Car is awesome but doesn't feel light and nimble like the 64 obviously. Driving the 64 today felt strange initially....it feels so small but very light...on it's toes.

I went to see this car yesterday. It's good, but not £45K good. Went with someone who has a very nice LHD RSL, and drove that on the way over so I'd have a back-to-back comparison - the steering on the blue car felt heavier, presumably due to the 18" wheels (with 225s on the front). Other than that it drives well. Body work is very good, but a couple of rust spots - lower LH corner of the windscreen, and front of the RH B pillar behind the rubber (at the bottom widowline). Couple of small dents, and a scrape on the front PU, but paintwork/panels are original. Also has a full Porsche service history (currently using OPC Guildford).
If it wasn't for the wheels, I'd be tempted, but there are cars as good out there for less at the moment.

I think the view is that a good service history is important (no suprise there) but it certainly doesn't have to be an OPC service history. OK, if there's Arthur Daly Motors in the srvice history it will hurt the price but I would much rather buy a car that has been serviced by a recognised specialist than by an OPC. IMO, a car that has been serviced by a specialist over, say, the last 5 years is preferable to one that has been serviced by an OPC over the same period.
New advert on Pistonheads for a 964RS @ £34k if anyone here interested.

Theres's a red one at £35k which looks better.
I was in Cambridge and took a look at the Potters Bar car --- not so good.
Body damage both sides in front of the rear wheels asif the car has been lifted at some time, brake ducts terminate in the back of the previously installed lights and are each hanging on by one screw, and the clutch is stiff --- though recent.
Magnesium wheels have a lot of corrosion under the paint .... etc.
A project ?

And there lies the problem faced by those buying cars atm. Based on the description above, the car is worth closer to £30k than £35k but the owner won't see that. There is never enough delta between a good car and a shabby one, so they don't really make a good project. Then cars stick on the market for ages, good ones sell for silly money as buyers get despairate and the owner of the shabby car sees the price rise, takes the car off the market for 2-3 months and hey presto, it reapears asking £3k more!
Crikey guys I wish you would stop talking up the price, you're making me nervous!
Seriously though, despite paying a full price for the car (see earlier post on this thread) I had no hesitation in taking for its first outing at Brands Hatch last week. Lee, John and others (thanks for your company, advice and px laps). No doubt you noticed a bright blue roadblock from time to time but I was happy, the Instuctor said "good corner speed" and the old girl never missed a beat.
Sitting in the garage at the end of the day proudly wearing its "Noise Passed" sticker the car looked none the worse for it all because, let's face it, that is what it was designed to do. And if having been on a track means someone wants to try to chip the price, it doesn't matter to me because I'm not selling.

Mine do ! Had fun a couple of weeks ago trying to re-attach the hoses onto the back of the ducts (they are a push-fit with no jubilee clip to hold them on). It's easy enough on the nearside but on the offside you have to get round the oil cooler and fan - a fairly straightforward job for an orang utan but not so easy for me !
