Nothing more than hearsay, but I believe from discussion on the 928uk list that that one was advertised for £60k and sold for around £50k
There weren't many manual RHD GTS cars made and there aren't enough for sale to see any trend, so dealers are testing the market by asking as high a price as they think they can get and seeing if anyone will bite.

Only 44 RHD 5-spd GTS were registered in the UK between 1992 and 1995. I spoke to Hexagon who told me the car sold for £50k, but also kind of admitted it was not as nice as it was made to look in the pictures. I know the whereabouts of 4 GTS 5-spds. Two of them are definitely not for sale and two could be, but the price would not be far off the Hex car. Having owned an S2 Auto, a S2 5-spd, a GT and now a GTS 5-spd, there is no argument - the GTS is the king of them all. The only other 928 that can tempt me is an early, preferably LHD spoilerless example - a 1977 or 1979 would be nice.

many thanks for relaying this actuality, it appears the early and late cars are really taking off. I've never seen a 5-spd GTS on the road or at an event, they are certainly rare !sparta6 said:

Two years ago we had two 928 GTS 5-spds at the Tilford Meet and two at the Merry Miller. The 928 has finally began to appreciate in value, but it is still an absolute bargain when compared to its siblings. A good £25k 1991 GT is still miles better as an overall package to a £35k to £45k 1991 964 C2. I know because I have driven them both extensively. The 964 will thrill you for about 2hrs and then you would feel like a glass of wine, a bath and a nice bed. The 928 will thrill less on the absolute level, but make you feel like you would not want the journey to end. I once did Calais to Geneva in 6hrs flat and felt as fresh as a daisy. I also did Nurburg to Calais in my GT3 CS in 4hrs recently and longed for my X5 and the trailer

Thanks for the link, and yes, it is well worth a read and sums up the 928 perfectly.Bo_apex said:
Most enjoyable read, thanks for link. The author's observations of the synergy between iconic film, car and woman is a powerful reminder of when Porsche got it right, they got it REALLY right

I would suggest low interest rates and speculators are having more influence on prices than anything, how many normal income GTS fanciers would put £35-50k into one if interest rates started rising ?
yes. same influences at work in the Ferrari marketI'm tempted as it's a huge amount of car for comparatively little outlay. Currently !
They are so damn rare though, which doesn't help

Every train has its passengers... The GTS 5-spd dynamically is the better car than a 964 Turbo, yet a 964 Turbo is £100k...
It is also about ability to put money into it, rather than desire - if £50k for you or me on a GTS seems ludicrous, I know enough people who see it as an absolute bargain in light of the contents of their garage, which may easily topple £1m.
I am still kicking myself for not buying a Lambo Diablo when they were in the £70k bargain bin area. Now they are £150k they are beyond my means. Can I see their prices coming down before I cannot afford one anymore? No way...

Well I did say normal income. I was very close to buying a one owner low miles RS500 Cosworth back in 1990. What would that sell for now ? I suppose if I'd had that £33m rollover ticket I'd pay the going rate today, but back in the real world it's still a £20k car to me.blade7 said:

Good luck finding a straight one for 20K !!!
it was a private repossession, but yes, the government are clearly missing a trick Gassing Station | Front Engined Porsches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
