This is the Porsche Chat Thread. The one I'm asking about is nearly a proper one ,not a station wagon like someone on here has got.
This isn't 3.4 minutes of very good driving and I note that he's nicked the gearbox out of 'our' 308! https://www.goodwood.com/grr/race/historic/2020/6/video-this-ferrari-308-gtb-group-4-is-the-meanest-308-youve-ever-seen-or-heard/
Couple of imported Turbo's but you wouldn't know if they sold: https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=24320&lid=2991985&pgn=4&pgs=100 https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=24320&lid=2996024&pgn=4&pgs=100
Top of the shop with plenty of luggage space for the porker fan with a Coutts check book https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1995-porsche-911-carrera-rs-clubsport-993-manual/OAG-AD-19996578
Currently for sale @ CTS: https://classicthrottleshop.com/1973-porsche-911-s-gemini-blue/ Asking price is $660,000
Well, I thought it was too, but then thought about it this way: 9 Australian deliveries. A 2.4 S is worth around half a RS2.7. So at $660,000 that's about right. I've seen the car, it's very, very nice. A scruffy 911 E 2.4 is worth $327,010 including commission apparently, and it wasn't even an Australian car: https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2020-shannons-winter-timed-online-auction/D4FBDB72BXD0S1OZ/ And an "E" is typically around 70% of an "S" So had that Shannon's car been in the same condition, and Australian delivered, it might have made another $150,000 or so.
I don't think I'll ever get my head around today's asking prices for OHOS cars. I'd drive away in a $600K Dino and 15 minutes later, when my accelerator foot and back are aching, while being overtaken by Camry taxis, I'd think WTF did I do that for?
It's hard to see value in the 911 S and the Dino 246 at that level. Especially when you can buy a 365 or 512 BB for less. Funny about the comfort, if I need to do a long trip, I find any excuse to take the 308. It's the most comfortable long distance car I have.
WRXMIKE says the same thing .... personally I enjoy the harsh ride the challenge gives me ............... NOT !!
