Capricorn Engineering.

I'm going to be blunt. If you are undecided about whether to keep the car or not BUT a) want something else and b) have a couple of folk interested at £10k THEN - take the £10k.

If you decide later that you want a 944 turbo then you are likely to have the budget for a good one again later and you'd probably be better off (financially) buying one with a "new" engine rather than organising and paying for it yourself. Didn't JMG have a customer car (3.0l) up for sale for a while at around £12-£13k?

I don't think there are too many buyers out there spending £10k on a 944T (there are some of course) but, in the main, the vast majority of cars are sold below this figure.
 
Yes, I know. If I had the space I would buy a Caterham AND keep the '44 Turbo, but I don't. Thanks for the comments Mr Simkin, much appreciated. I just honestly, don't know what to do![:(]! My apprentice's father wanted to buy the Turbo about three weeks ago (still does). He would go to 10k no worries. He has had several 911's in the past and, now want's to try a transaxle car. I took him out for a blat some time ago and he was whooping with glee like an adolescent with a great big grin on his face [:D]. He absolutely loved it![8D]. There is another chap coming to view next weekend and, he isn't fazed by the 10k price tag either. The car now has a massive history and, is well documented and, vouched for by JMG. It's me that's the problem.....[8|]!

Absolutely.

You can always buy another one at £5K.
 
I asked this question of EMS in Birmingham whilst my head was off! There was some fine scoring on cylinder 2. They are talking circa £4k for a rebuilt short engine! This is due to the fact that there are only 3? companies that can hone and re-Nicasil the bores. Oversize pistons are around a grand, all in around £4k. His advice to me was to put the head back on and drive it! That's exactly what I did and to me it drives great!
