The interior doesn’t match the paint well at all. It’s a very confused colour palette. Vinyl stripes need to go and wheels anodised with centres painted black….
I agree with the vinyl stripes, but the rest is nice. And that interior?? I thought you loved that ****!
Yeah, tartan is awesome but they chose the wrong one. Red tartan would look much nicer with the blue paint
I’m not that fussy, it looks pretty cool for me, of course I do get where Greg’s coming from[emoji12]
It will be, although that's a UK car which will hurt the value somewhat. Three Australian deliveries, two white, one silver. Pretty special car in the air cooled hierarchy, production approximately 340 units, about 50 RHD.
Depends on the model! The attraction for me is the standard of engineering, particularly with regards 1. structural integrity and 2. weight management. A peripheral attraction is the almost unbeatable parts availability. I'm currently assembling a 1973 911 E 2.4. I required some window weather stripping, a brake light switch and some interior fasteners. The dealer (PCM) had it on the shelf. Along with most of the other items I've required. And the prices are reasonable too.
Good insight I can see they’re well engineered. Audi has the same level now .. and price to reflect this. But the depreciation is hugely different between the two. May change.. I better save up for a 911 manual 991.. worth for than fcar f430.. tough choice..
From the outset through to today, a base model 911 is half the price of an entry-level Ferrari, yet they are much more than half the car and indeed their results in amateur-to-professional motorsport are way ahead of any Italian car. Year for year, they are better built than Ferraris and are reliable daily drivers, without the high running cost. Because of the reliability, 911's did high mileages, got crashed and pre-galvanised bodies are rust prone. These factors culled the number of survivors, contributing to high values now. Early cars, particularly the 2.4S, were great fun to drive, with wonderful engine & induction noise. 2.7 Carrera even more so. The 3.0 Carrera was more refined (the beginning of encroaching boredom) but still great and a very quick car point to point. A mate of mine has a 964 "back date" (it looks like a 2.4S) and with less weight, modestly improved suspension and a louder exhaust, it's a hoot to drive. The end of air cooled models (993) is the inflection point for desirability / collectability. Later cars are very capable but boring at legal speeds, just like modern Ferraris. Also like modern Ferraris, you have to pay a lot more for a special model to get some level of enthusiast driver engagement. Unlike Ferrari, you can still buy a new 911 with a gear lever.
Why would you want to? 2022 technology with a 1900s gearbox.....with self blipping. Just dumb. "Oh it's more involving" as abs, traction control, electronic diffs, stability control etc etc etc drive the rest of the car for you. Seriously? Delusional people.
My next door mate’s 993 turbo is worth a small fortune now .. they’ve gone up at least $100k since I started to show interest in getting a manual 997.. Now back to fixing up my manual audi that popped a check engine light again
