The Collecting Cars Porsche thread…

[g7jhp]

Having owned two impact bumper 911s I've seen a bit of rust but this 911 SC look like a right nail. Look at the visable holes.

Surely though if that’s in the description - I haven’t read it - then what’s the problem - there’s nothing to say you can’t sell ‘an old nail’ on CC …

[Crazy4557]

Description clearly shows ‘Project’ I can’t think of a much better description for buyers to note and expect the worst.

One could easily get through £60K on that one.

£10K bodywork
£10K engine
£10K paint
£10K parts & suspension
£10K interior.
£10K contingency

[freedman]

Looks like its just have £4k spent on it to get it to a running condition but then nothing between that and 2017 and an even bigger gap before that

Look at some of the names in the paperwork from years past

Pickup Leask
Malaya Garage
Peter Tognola
Chris Turner

Agreed, all I was saying was it's a bit rusty!

My first ever 911 experience as a young nipper was in one of these. I was in the back. Dad in pass seat. Owner driving obviously. I mentioned this to someone else on the internet a few years ago and how I vividly remember there being no seats and no belts in the back and I cut my hand on some metal bracket which I assume now was for the original seat to bolt in. Someone commented that there should be no such brackets in the back as they were never designed or built to have seats at all. So it was probably just a white vanilla car with no rear seats, red wheels and stickers. I see this one has some weird storage bin - stripped out lightweight with a storage bin? Does anyone here know what should be in the back of these?

That looks similar to the storage bins in the back of the 964 RS America. Looking through pictures of other 3.2 CSs sold on CC it seems to be standard on these too, although I can't say I've noticed them before.

I wouldn't be visiting places that charge those prices. I reckon 'up north' £30k max would sort the car out if your don't want a concours nut and bolt job, which this model doesn't need.

Possibly, but like with what ever a plumber or builder quotes, double it.

This ^ at least almost certainly when it comes to the bodywork and engine.

If you’ve got someone that can do that work for half those prices good for you !

Darn sarf good people are probably £80 an hour and up and got a few months of work waiting.

Yes that was stunner, but with such a low mileage will it ever be driven ?

Similar to the 6000 mile car that was sold a couple of years ago for £220k ....

To your question regarding the bins in place of the rear seats, yes this is original and similar to the arrangement in the 968 Clubsport from a similar era ... I once saw a trackday at Donington where a 968CS owner arrived with a set of spare wheels in the car and a trolley jack jammed behind the passenger seat !!

The 911 alternative at Spa was a sheet of marine-ply on a roof rack with four wheels on it ....

Somebody clearly saw some potential at just shy of £34k with fees

Probably another dubious restomod

Does anyone remember the ‘new’, zero miles, silver 3.2 G50 Coupe that, I think, P.S. were selling a few years ago ?
It was actually a ‘restoration’ and the ‘before’ photos revealed a complete rust-bucket

Shall post here as its an auction (shall delete if requested)

Fantastic 2003 Porsche 996 Turbo coming up for auction. Looks spectacular in my opinion.
