Hi all,

Hope everyone is keeping well and that Geoff is looking after you all.

Lots to report in my life, but the main reason for the post is to say its looking likely I'll be selling the old girl!

Most of you will know the car, but for those who don't she's a 1989 model in GP white with a can can red interior and black hood.
The car is genuinely immaculate with zero rust and only has 19500 miles on the clock. I haven't used her properly for a while but she has been very well cared for, started regularly and kept on a battery conditioner in a dry garage.

As far as I know its the most highly specified Speedster there is with almost every option box ticked. The first owner was the Patrick Collection who were a museum in the Midlands. I am the fourth owner and have had it since 2001.

Its been featured in books, magazines and documented during my time as the register secretary.

I would have to insist that the if the new owner were to sell the car, then I am given first refusal to buy her back.

I've had a look around to see what she is worth and I'm amazed that there seem to be none at all for sale. Can anyone give me an indication of what I should be asking?

By the way, we steal any car offered me £2950! [&:]

Nope, two thousand nine hundred and fifty pounds! They even emailed me a dummy cheque to entice me!
I knew it would be ridiculous and was just doing it for a quick indication.
 
Good to hear from you Chris ... hope you and the family are well mate give my love to all.

Sorry your selling that beautiful car ..... I would recomment a very quick chat for what's it worth with John Hawkins at Specialist Cars, although he takes a cut he seems to still get you more if that makes sense.

All the best.

Fantastic to hear from you ! Hope all is well - have really missed you at all Porsche events. So sorry you are thinking of selling the Speedster - I am sure Geoff can give you best indication of price. However, why not bring it down to Windsor racecourse this Sunday it needs a good run and we would love to see you.

All our love
Rhian & James
 
Hi James,

Would love to come to one of the events, but Wendy has been very unwell for some time and its just not possible.
At the moment she is in Guys hospital and we have no real idea when she will be out. Over the past year she has spent over six months in various hospitals!

Been a tough couple of years here, and it all started when I resigned from being Reg Sec [:D]

Hope you are both keeping well and maybe catch up soon.

Chris
