Prison? I'd want more margin than that then.

This is weird. I was watching this 911 Dakar auction on CollectingCars.com and it seemed to sell for £176,250:


I just got Collecting Cars weekly summary post on my Facebook feed and saw this:

Joke price tbh must be a misprint anything over £200k is cloud cuckoo.

Good to see some GT4s coming up on CC as there haven't been many for sale recently on the website.

Does the gear knob come from a Ford Capri or is it on prescription? Why not just leave it as a G-series?

It's a minor point, but if the fan painting is anything to go by, the rotor cap will have been cracked during its installation and the brake fluid reservoir cap cross-threaded ...

981 GT4's now they are probably all in the hands of enthusiasts compared to speculators are becoming quite a rare thing, they also seem compared to a 718 much lesser spotted in the wild. Remember Simply Porsche last year, I think I counted 2 where 718's where everywhere.

I think the 981 GT4 will much sought after in future as it si the FIRST GT4 Porsche Made etc . Plus I imagine only a little over 500 on the road in the Uk will make. ait a rare beast.
I think The GT4 RS will also be a future classic and if I had the money I would buy one and enjoy it , safe in the knowledge it will become very sought after in the future, assuming Petrol is still easily available to power these and future governments still have ICE cars to be driven on our roads lol

Chris Harris hasn’t posted anything about CC on Instagram since April…about the same time the CC Podcast stopped.

Does 2+2 = 4 ?

It’s a shame. The weekly podcast was always a good listen. Clearly something happened, the way it all suddenly stopped was quiet strange.

Isn't he off filming a new travel series with Paddy for the BBC? He seemed to stop posting around the time that was announced.

He’s either got bored with CC whilst he concentrates on the new TV programme or the BBC contract he’s on prohibits any other commercial activity

Just how poorly do you want to present a nice car?

Number plates damaged and not even a passing attempt to get them level
