Wow - that is fantastic.

Seems a real bargain when there is a Sierra Cosworth for sale at £335K!

It just looks otherworldly.
Stunning.

Nice.

I think this from the Barge thread deserves to be here

My perfect 997 remains a 997.2rs in aqua/gold with no graphics. Just for occasional Sunday early morning runs up the Rhonda road.

Stick to the 996 Chris

Ok I don't like the wood but ... Champagne Mirage Metallic ... is that gold enough for ya?

How in HELL is a Bora selling at only £85k+???

What did I miss?

I don't get it either... This has to be the most misunderstood supercar of the 1970s...

1) Mid engined - tick
2) Race derived V8 - tick
3) Sublime chassis - tick
4) Sublime looks - tick
5) Easy to live with - tick

£50k normally gets you into a wreck needing £50k to become a £60k car so yes, this Bora is steal. Wonder if he would take a Part Ex on a 928 GTS 5spd and some cash his way? Hmm...

The Duke of London have a habit of unearthing and selling stunning bargains - they had a gorgeous E34 M5 Touring for £30k recently... It sold in 2 weeks from memory.

Outside
Inside

Those wheels suit the car really well.

That 996 interior belongs in a MaxPower Saxo!

If I was given it the first order of battle would be a full black retrim.

It’s so offensive I may even have it trailered back, covered naturally.

I love it!...but then again my 1st Porsche was a Tip Boxster with the baby-sick Savannah interior and I loved that too! There's just something SOOOO 80's/90's Porsche about that Turbo and I'm guessing that was the intention when specced. Good job I say!

Oh 100%. And back when values were sensible enough that they'd be taken on a track day or a road trip around Europe

I was going to say "I' don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh", but reading the advert it's one of 42 RHD and 564 total, so it's not that surprising. Are Maserati in general something of a sleeper in value terms?
