"This Porsche 911 is very special. It's the 964RS Lightweight, 1 of only 16 UK supplied cars. 2800 (two thousand eight hundred) miles with the same owners since new (part of a private collection)"
I'm much liking this RS. Surely this has to be the lowest-mileage 964 RS today? It looks absolutely brand new, inside and out! My only reservation with this particular car is, putting any miles on it now would sacrifice it's value. Would it fit in my living room... Mmmmmm

I'd have thought a couple thousand miles a year would be ok?
One for Dave, maybe?
This vehicle was advertised by another dealer about 1 year ago. IIRC the asking price was £120k, needless to say it didn't sell.
At this price point, it is a VERY limited market, and collectors of such vehicles can be quite picky about details such as colour. Midnight Blue does not generally attract the interest of some of the more vibrant 64RS colours.....

I think its stunning & Midnight Blue is a stunning colour on any rare porsche.
Just a shame you can't really drive it
I don't understand why you can't drive it. If you can afford to buy it you can afford to drive it. Just a shame you can't really drive it
To buy it and not drive it would be like having a hot girlfriend and not f
king her incase her next boyfriend didn't value her as much.I never really considered colour. I personally think it looks great in midnight, but do agree the 'louder' colours are more suited (and possibly more desirable?) to the RS models
I'm not sure this car will ever get driven tbh. Because of the mileage, condition, and asking price, it's aimed at being stored away, as an investment. If you wanted to drive it, you'd buy a 40k miler for £££k's less surely.
It's a great example, and whether it's worth £130k (today!) is always going to be debatable. But, prices are only going to go one way on these.
Investment potential, absolutely!

Very true though.When you get to much higher values some cars get more usable because the cost to repair/resurrect is less significant to the value. For example, a friend was racing and noticed a Ferrari of some kind that had a value of £1.x million and got chatting to someone in the team about the risk associated with racing it - he was told that they could pretty much rebuild the whole car for £150k or so, and it'd still be valued at £1.x million (due to the identity, history & provenance), so the risk wasn't what it seemed.
Would it be wrong to win the euromillions and buy that car to use as a daily, with just a run through the local eastern european staffed hand car wash every other saturday morning on the way to tesco?
no more wrong, imo, than buying it new and keeping it like that
but each to their own

Buy the lovely low miler and park it in the garage. Buy a second 964 in same colour. High miler, needing an engine rebuild. Do a top notch motor rebuild, RS flywheel and clutch and 993 uprgrades. Enjoy driving a rep. of your real RS like no-one else can. Turning up occasionally at events with the real one will help. Then driving ten-tenths at the next event with the rep. will really make an impression.
120k for the queen, 12k for the C2 10K for the motor, 10K for the RS upgrade. Within 5 years the (still under 10k miles) real RS is worth 150K, while the well used rep. is still worth 22k. If you sell them as a boxed set, they will probably fetch 190K. Think big.-)
