didn't realise you could get that seat colour combo with that exterior colour. Learn something new every day.
Well it's now SOLD APPARENTLY ...... 964RS Prices are getting on equal terms to the 993RS .... 964RS prices still a long way to go and can see no reason they will not end up just shy of 2.7RS prices..... TOLD YOU SO!
This will fuel the replica recreation market similar to the 2.7RS market .......
Whilst I love the car, and would dearly love it to be worth double (or what ever mulitple you choose), I cant see how they will make close to 2.7RS money. They never had the racing success that 2.7 did, plus the 2.7RS didnt have masses of equally performant biased cars after it. Aside from the 3.0RS, there was a complete drought of track focussed cars until the 3.2 CS (I ignore SCRS due to very low numbers). Where as the 64RS, had the 93RS, followed by a mulitude of other stuff, every year!
I'm sure it will gain credability as the first of resurgence, and for its purity, but not sure it will carry the same mark of respect. IMHO. Tell me I'm wrong?
Not that I'm talking prices down you understand!

Hugh ... wash your mouth out with brake fluid .... Let's just look at driver involvement and feel, that's what woke people up to the 2.7RS NOT it's looks, although the ducktail was cute. Similarly the drive of the 964RS just sucks you in, and as more and more drive them and even downsize from the kettles, word gets round and peolpe want them for the drive, which attarcts a tail market of investors and speculators and also creates rarity in the market and drives prices up. But this ALL starts from the desire to drive them, so drivers led market followed by the investors etc, which unfortunately leads to little availability wich leads to prices going up. Supply and demand, how the 2.7RS became popular was it's drive same 964RS .... simples[

Agreed, and as the driving experience of the modern cars looses the purity and is more and more dominated by electronics, the desire to drive the "old school real thing" will come to all followers of the Leichtbau philosophy.
BTW, the "old school real thing" is still quick enough....

And every year they seem to have been true!

Personally I think 'Essen prices' are exactly that. Prices specifically for people going to Essen and are not necessarily repeated for the rest of the year. A bit like the RM auction at Monterey and very pissed up rich Americans...they don't come out the rest of the year so the mental prices are never sustained beyond that afternoon.
Rising prices are a good thing though especially in todays climate.
But lets be realistic and not forget....

I'm doing a Thomas - mine is for sale at £101k (a new record). [8|] His cars eventually sell. Ridiculous price today but like Thomas - I'll wait until the market catches up with what Des knew all along. []
Could I turn down £101k? What would I buy to replace it? What IS there to replace it? []

Yes April 2009 ..... just how the market has moved on .... seriously don't think it's a good thing so much but let's see, all I know the common denominator of any Classic is the way it drives and can that be found in other variants ... the 964RS I would say unique in the World of any 911 ...... good thing bad thing they have their quirky feel .....

No [
] - once I've made it 'RS America' spec. Rarer and more desirable.
