WANTED - 996 with Aerokit

[tscaptain]

Hi Guys,

A very good friend of mine is wanting to dip his first toe into Porsche ownership and is in the market for a 996 manual coupe in the region of £20k. Only thing he seems insistent upon is that it must have the aerokit! He/we have done the PH/Autotrader trawl but if any of you know of such a beast coming on to the market could you please drop me an e-mail. Many thanks
Cheers
Alan

Sold her today [] She is going to a good home which is comforting. Thanks Alan. Now about that Ferrari............

Cheers Don and thanks for letting me know before my mate! It looks a very special car and I told him he may struggle to find one similar or better that has all the goodies and with such a low mileage. Oddly I think I have been almost as excited by getting someone new into Porsche ownership as I have by getting my own! I can't wait to see it close up. I've known the buyer since we were kids and he will certainly cherish it. Got to get him to join the club now!
Unfortunately I don't know anyone selling a Ferrari - are you serious and if so which model?[8D]

Alan, I've told him to join the club also. I had 9 happy and trouble free years with my 911 and will miss her but I have always wanted to experience Ferrari ownership and looking at my options against my budget (£100K) The 550/575 are in the frame as is a 612. I went to Meridien in Lyndhurst last week and tried out a manual 612 and loved it. Trouble is the big V12's normally sell best with an F1 box and red isn't a popular colour so thinking of future values has made me think again. I may wait for the California, which in around 12/18 months will hopefully be with my budget, I like the versatility of the hard/open top. Also its the first V8 front engined Ferrari and reasonably compact. Great fun looking and trying them out so time will tell.

Thanks again I enjoyed meeting the guys today.

You don't have one, Alan? I was always taught all Training Captains had a Ferrari in the garage..... []

 

[tscaptain]

Oh ha bloody ha! Probably Mainline longhaul grandees but not us bottom feeders on shorthaul!
Anyway got one of these coming next month

and a kit car which will have 450bhp/ton when we've finished[8D] A lot more fun!![]

Drove Lancaster's Demo Turbo, great car, stunningly fast - good choice. When does she arrive?

 

[John Ware]

Very nice car, Alan. You do know silver is quicker than red though...... []

Out of the factory 4th Feb so as long as it takes after that! Jan seems a very long month.[] And John, everybody knows red is, and always has been, the fastest colour.

 

[Don Henshall]

Good to see red making a come back. A lot of my previous Porsche were red. Must say I also like it in White!

 

[philippe]

I think it will look very nice in Red, and i think red is faster as it stands out more so is more obvious when you are going that bit to fast.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Garth, thanks for the reply, my friend has bought Don's car. Good luck selling yours.

 

[Don Henshall]

After 9 years of ownership my 911 went to its new owner tonight. He looked very happy and I looked very sad. Having spent some time with the guy I know she will be well looked after.........

 

[tscaptain]

Thank goodness for that Don. Sorry for your loss but I was getting worried Martyn was going to lose out! Got a replacement lined up yet![] I'm still waiting.................[]

Your ex will be very well cared for I'm sure.

Testing the Panamera Turbo on Wednesday [:-] I want to keep an open mind but, whilst its a very capable car blah blah, not sure its for me. Dealer is aware of my thoughts but happy to let me take her out anyway. Also looked at a 997 4S Cab, good spec but at £94K and change seems very expensive to me. Love the Turbo 997 but my heart still says give Ferrari a go [] When I was skint it was easy to decide but now things are different I'm finding it harder to make my mind up! Still its great fun looking [] Yours look stunning by the way.

Had this for 4 years. Never use it, only 21000 from new. Had a bent front wing & bumper before i bought it. Was mint when i got it. Shame to see it sat there.
