For Vic and Paul

Hi chaps. Back from 3 week holiday and have to come back to the real world.
Yes that car is the real deal. It's been for sale with different people for about the last 2 years. Amazing to be able to buy something that probably doesn't exists anywhere. Trouble is what do you do with it. Surprised you guys think it's cheap. Assuming an exchange rate of 1.7 then you have to add another 30% to cover shipping, 10% import duty and 17.5% vat making a total price of over £191,000.
It's a 1995 car that is NEW, but not an EVO, so only 3.6 single spark and 430bhp, also no evolution aerodynamics. This means its not competitive in anything, has no Le Mans history, etc and is an expensive trackday toy that will halve in value if used. Or did I miss the irony in the comment about the price?

I don't know where you buy your dollars but at those rates, please buy them from me!!!
Based on your formula, I could get that car here for £172,000. However, I didn't realise the full spec and why it wasn't as valuable as it might have been. But it's still nice to look at[

Strikes me as a museum Garage Queen, maybe Lee should consider it....Anyway Paul welcome back to the LEICHTBAU madness usual boll***S, hope you had a good holiday.........
GT2 EVO Hmmm saw a couple of these for sale very reasonable round the 70K mark in the UK mind you race cars but good provenance...
Well done on the drive Paul was great watching the car sything the competition. Thanks for letting me gate crash lunch was nice nattering to you and Vic. The 24hr was worth staying and watching. Shame to see Henry and the boys snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!
Nice to see you again Laurence and glad you liked the race. Typical really. Thats the first time in probably over 40 races i've competed in that i've ever stalled at a race start. Basically I was backing off to stop wheel spin and the 340 section slicks decided to grip and kill the engine.
Simon my exchange rate was based purely on finger in the air tourist type rate. I take the point that commercial buying of large ammounts achieves much better. The next car I buy from Europe will have to have the currency bought through you I think. []

Must admit....it's the only model I'd sell the 64 for........Turbo would have to go too............................what you got Paul?[8|]
Lee good choice if you change, would be a queue of buyers for your car one of the nicest I have seen (not surprising stuck in a heated garage with a Japanese Masseuse) so you would be forgiven especially a 993GT2 Clubbie probably the ultimate air-cooled 911 ever...
