That's quite a punt for a car with just 2 months MoT.

The blue 88 car sounded better from the OP's description, sounds like the bids were wrongly influenced by mileage.

Trouble is, first impressions count. and the '86 certainly had more wow factor, although it could well be inferior under the skin..... Of course it could be that white 944s are just soooooo much more desirable. []

I know the white one. It was sold privately 3 weeks ago. The PCGB advert is here. https://www.porscheclubgb../forum/tm.aspx?m=890816

If Kev got close to his asking price, then once you take fees and commission into account, the chap who bought it to sell on caught a cold That pleases me enormously.

Strange. The estimate was £3.5 - £4.5K so the vendor must have nicked it. I would assume £3.5 K was the reserve. Taking off the £70 entry fee and 5% + VAT commission he would have trousered £4066.
