Today’s want

[speedingfine]

100k+ miles, 17 year old Porsche with potential steering rack issue and £735/year tax? Sign me up

Catty Matty I wonder what they paid for it

[Matty]

Garage owners car, potentially? Not their usual stock.

[speedingfine]

This one looks tasty for the same money

That's more like it - you have my approval Chris, make it so.

(although ask him to knock off £500 for using the term "Priced to sell" )

Jeebus. I was planning on moving to something front engine/rear wheel drive for my next fun car but that has got me reconsidering.

Today, for some reason, I really want a 911 Dakar. There aren't many for sale, all over £200k, so would have made a canny buy (@Ascender).

This one is in a spec I don't remember being able to choose on the configurator - in particular the colour/trim of the seats. And I love it:

No cage and folding seats so you can use the rear area for luggage - that's mainly what the back of my 911 would be for since I don't have small kids and certainly wouldn't give other people's small kids a ride. Sadly I'm not in the market for one yet.

Like the external colour and particularly the wheels but part tan seats in a Dakar make is look a bit confused / too GT? (Says the man who bought a GTS with no alcantara in it )

[Ascender]

That's a very nice spec! Looks very good in black, pretty stealth too.

Not seen those seats with that trim before either, but I guess Porsche will pretty much do anything if you pay them.

There's the usual very low mileage ones at 200-210k, but not sure what ones with actual miles on them are worth. 2500 isn't very limited and the owners I've seen are actually driving them a lot and putting miles on them so who knows what values will be like longer term but I think I got in at the right time on the one I bought.

@Jobbo - Have a drive next week if you like...

Unsurprisingly I'm keeping an eye on the (thankfully quite slow moving) Z4 Coupe market lately.

I I can't decide if I like these wheels or not.

Or whether I should care about the eight owners

I've not seen brown leather bolsters with alcantara centres in any 992 so it must have been a special order - it looks amazing though. So different to black on black.

And Mike, cheers - I'm happy just to nose at yours and not drive it!

See I don't like the wheels nor the external colour. The trouble with the black is that the arch extensions suddenly look a bit more out of place - they're not black enough, so they look like a cheap add on tat. They look fine with any more contrasting colour.

The interior is lovely though.

Possibly a bit too fussy, but I think I like them. Colour is decent, but would work better on any other colour than black. Refurbed in silver they'd look much better on that car.

[Ascender]

Don't blame you, they're common as muck up this way anyway @Jobbo.



Todays spotted while on my way for coffee.

I really like those but they seem one of those cars whose looks vary wildly depending on colour and/or alloy choice.

I'm not a great fan - way less dish than the oem wheels, so are visually comparatively "weedy".

Do you wave? Or are you too surprised when spotting one that you don't think to do so?

I sure did and flashed my lights too like a proper camper van driver excitedly spotting another one just like mine.

Had just come round a bend and we were both making decent progress, but that livery really makes it stand out. I guess up here as well, anything vaguely sporty stands out a mile if you're into your cars.

Coincidental number plate - I have a Dutch namesake seemingly.

Yeah I think you've nailed why they weren't quite working for me. The CSL reps look better because of the dish in them, those look a bit anaemic by comparison despite otherwise being broadly similar.
