'79 911 Turbo, the car my dad wanted and a real poster icon from the early 80's, lovely, probably an epic disappointment to drive though, all laggy and fiery death backwards into a hedge.
A former colleague had a 930 Turbo BITD, from a financial point of view he regrets selling it (obviously), but says the 996 C4 he has now is MUCH nicer to drive.

The bidding on the DB5 project went to £370k (+10% buyer’s premium) and the auctioneer said it was still a long way short of reserve. Blimey.

Harry M had one for a while didn’t he - got the feeling he thought it was a bit of a disappointment too and didn’t keep it long.

1994 Maser Ghibli, last of the boxy Masers and probably crap but I think they are great.
