I sold my 14000 miler for £16000 three years ago DOH! To be fair, I did ask £29k, but nobody was interested.

Depends totally on condition, ie no accidents, no rust, original, nice interior, mechanical condition, etc might be worth between £6k for terminally rusty car to £22 for a really good one, not many around to test the market.

Fair enuff . There's one on car and classic and he's asking 27k so way to much. Btw I managed to see your cars thru you're website. That old 3.2 lhd u had is up for sale. Looks a nice example in Cornwall

Paul Stevens. 20 grand. You could be on your way to a 993 for that.

Isn't the Paul Stephens an SC at 20k
The Carrera 3 due to its relative rareness fetches a premium usually over its 3.2 & SC siblings.
That said they were not as reliable and had significantly less torque than even the 180bhp SC even though they were slightly quicker.
Not about speed though IMO i would say a minter would fetch early 20's & you certainly won't lose your shirt on one.

The most recent RHD coupe to sell was sound but unexceptional and was £27k. A good Targa is over 20k.

LHD can make 50k Euro.

They're very different to drive and miles more rare than an SC. Think of one as the next best thing to a 2.7 Carrera and they're brilliant value.

LHD more than RHD even here?

Yes, Johnny foreigner will travel to buy this sort of thing and he has much more love for impact bumper stuff than we do. He also seems to have more money than us at present.

The value of c3s has gone up a lot in the last year - they are much rarer than scs and are becoming very popular indeed

This car was up for sale by the owner via Steve Bull and was considerably cheaper than Paul Stevens now has it up for. I'll try to find the original asking price but if I recall correctly it was circa £12,000

You can have it for 12k if you like, I'll just have to unrebuild the engine and unretrim it...
