Not quite sure what i’d do with 3 piles of slightly tacky wheels?

Probably more for the Fao of sj and possibly harry than anyone else- local engineering college moving so flogging anything that’s not tied down, few interesting bits, portable gantry crane and hydraulic presses

Shame it’s a 5 hour drive each way ! I could do with a decent workbench and they’ve got quite a few for sale. A gantry for lifting the front of the Disco body. Maybe. And a commercial deep fat fryer. Everyone likes chips

You appear to be enjoying this purchase, despite the work it needed. A keeper?

Enjoying it at the moment yes. Still in the honeymoon period. The work I've done so far has all been useful and made a difference. If it starts giving me stupid problems that can't be solved then my opinion & patience will change quite quickly

That seems reasonable for a 1 of 2 911 tbh

Here's an opportunity to buy a car that'll be driven once, then tucked away, only to be trailered to the dealer for the annual service and otherwise forgotten about.

Why is it that when car manufacturers decide to make bikes, they always make them absolutely awful ? Even worse than a supermarket attempt.

Horrific isn’t it - it’s like they do it on purpose. It’s like watching a politician dancing.

If only I had paid another 100 grand I could've bought my car with old man chrome trim on the windows, standard wheels and someone else's name on the glovebox!

I CBA reading the all details - apart from the colour is there anything that genuinely makes it different to a standard one with the same options ticked ? Just the fact you can't drive this one because it's an investment ?

I have a 911, I should be a fanboi, but I just CBA with this "1 of 1" BS. Mine is probably 1 of 1 seeing as I've changed the seats & exhaust. Maybe I should get some "SJ Signature 1 of 1 Special Edition" stickers made and claim it's now worth £100k.

You might as well, you're already owning it in a suitable manner...

I don't know what things were normally available, e.g. was Espresso Natural Leather a standard option?
Any ideas what a standard one specced similarly would be priced at? If you could find one

You're a(nother) year older, stop fighting it.

I neither know nor care Cars that cost more than a house are irritating me more and more as I get older.

You could get all of that as options other than the name on the glovebox and the fact that when it turned up it was a slightly different shade to what was ordered

Same car driven normally is probably 55k - low mileage and PCCBs may add a couple of grand but that one is well over £100k more.
