Upgrade Radio but keep original

Hi,

Richard: That's a good question- "Is a 1989 Supersport collectable"?

What are the "collectable" Porsches? Are all models "collectable"? What are the aspects of any car that may make it collectable - limited production run, legendary reputation, a classic (What's a classic?) in its time: these would seem to be some of the criteria by which one might start to make a judgement. What are the others?

Whatever one's opinion might be on the subject, it is the model that is deemed "collectable". If we have an example of that model, then we have a collectable and then issues surrounding originality start to matter rather more.

So, IMO a 1989 Supersport will not be a collectable for another 30 years, if at all. So my 1988 example is again, much like Simon's, very close to standard, but matters of originality would not stand in my way, if changes were to be made, but I keep the original bits and pieces, apart from the rust.

For me, CORROSION is rather more of an issue for concern than possible "collectable" status.

So, there may be another topic - if embarking on a period of longer term ownership, how would you intended to keep your possible "collectable" rust free and structurally sound (and original) over the next 10 years? - Did I hear you say that you were going to rely on Porsche build quality, galvanised bodywork, the original underbody protection and regular applications of a good class of car polish?

That's real deep man, heavy going late on a Wednesday evening, gosh the guy just wants to upgrade the stereo:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
But if you want to get really heavy - as it's Wednesday and raining - what is the definition of collectable [;)]
Cars for people with more than one car?
Cars that appreciate in value? or only cars that appreciate in value by more than inflation?
Models that the Porsche museum phone you about [:D]

Collectable cars are usually garage queens, so I'm not sure collectable is the right term, I'd use desirable.

In years to come which 3.2's will be the most desirable, I'd always go for the Coupe version so my list would be:

No.1 - 3.2 Club Sport - because it's the lightweight sport edition in limited numbers
No.2 - 3.2 Carrera - standard and popular
No.3 - 3.2 Speedster - limited numbers


 
Back with my two pennies worth.! Where did this word collectable come from ? Totally original was my definition. Seriously though I just wanted help on upgrading without changing the appearance of the interior and enjoy some sounds on my travels . Everything I own is CD or vinyl (now there's a problem !) and FM in Devon for the national stations changes frequency every 10 miles so self seeking radio is a must have boon.Dont need state of the art and dont want to compete with the locals in the Saxo's and Skylines just want to enjoy Van Morrison and Bob Harris in my car.
No comments on my age thank you !
 
My son is in the music industry and tells, sorry advises me you can have you old vinyls transferred to CD. Most local studios offer the service I'm told/advised, so we can all be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century!

Regarding the original problem - my unit is DAB so you get a crystal clear "Whispering Bob" anywhere in the country. Apart from those areas that don't receive digital of course, which is probably Devon!

Ive doubled up the best of my vinyl in CD but thanks for the idea of putting whats not available in the shops onto CD only leaves about 1000 records to do !
Digital radio and TV alive and kicking in Devon but reception varies from good to nothing. The compensation : miles of empty roads with no speed cameras, no laybys for police to hide in, great views and you can drive and enjoy a Porsche as it was meant to be [:)]
 
I think there could be a business opportunity here to open up a Devon Relocation / Independent Porsche/ Vinyl to CD transfer Consulatncy.

Worth a ad. in Porsche Post I'd say.
