NGT

There was a yellow one featured in a mag a few years back, might be this one? Obvious things are - bonnet pins front and back (non-orig - but no big issue) - no spare wheel (they might have it), non-original steering wheel (they might have too) - I doubt the dial back face are original (again no big issue) - No mags? (I'd want those!, and wheels differ between pics) - someone changed the pedals (no big deal) - missing trim on drivers door top (cheap to fix, but perhaps shows amount of care car has had?) - I think its had a cup heater bypass (again no huge issue) + has FEs (nice plus) + its a great colour (yellow was my 3rd choice) + its cheaper on the pistonheads ad than MCPs site! + would make a great race car! Err, whilst I love these cars, and think they are obviously worth huge sums of cash - dare say it looks a little pricey?[
][] At 55k it would be a great buy! Of course, all in my own limited opinion of course, having never seen the car etc.etc. I think Mr Schmidt has nicer cars for the money (or takes better photos)!

A bit OT but why would Porsche call one of their colours 'Ferrari Yellow'? Always seemed a strange choice of name to me [&:]
I expect it is a colour to sample from a Ferrari? Ferrari don't even call their yellows Ferrari yellow, "Giallo Fly" is the yellow most specified on Ferraris. Back to the NGT, with the external bonnet and luggage fasteners fitted, I wouldn't be surprised if this car had some european race history?

Just a quick "anorak" comment, but I believe "Fly Yellow" and "Ferrari Yellow" are one and the same colour - paint code L10L. It may well be that "Giallo Fly" could also be the same - but who knows!! Regards Dave
Of course race history isnt a problem, its what state its been left in. In fact some decent race history could be a good thing. Does it have all the right parts with it, has it been looked after its race life, has any accident damage been repaired properly? Its certainly a useable car its got that going for it.
Why whats wrong with it? Surely it comes down to price (OK its over priced), I've never seen the car, but would consider most straight cars at the right price. Not everyone wants orig paint, orig panel, low millage garage queens. A well used straight car has its place in the market too (at the right price). Or are you suggesting this isnt straight? Its not that expensive to work out if they are straight or not during a PPI. I think we all read a lot of forum assassinations of cars without clear facts on why. I think we all agree its overpriced for a well used car, but I cant see any evidence not to go near it for the right price. And I assume the chap who started this thread might actually be looking for one to buy.
It never ceases to amaze me the number of armchair dealer tarts who are clueless as to the real values of these cars and more than often end up sitting on their hands while values soar. Thus they become bigger armchair tarts and knock the car even more. I am not pointing the finger to anyone here by the way ..... Hugh is absolutely right, every car has it's value, as well thrashed, repainted crashed car to a track day virgin minter. Trial by internet is very easy for the would be owners or so called enthusiasts .... get out there and actually look at them and strart comparing like with like. Yes the N-GT would appear a bit expensive, but that's MCP, they will probably have it for sale for a couple of years as they do. But you can always come down on price, which is what this one is about if you are a serious buyer ... you would go and see it and offer accordingly.

Go and view it by all means all I said was I had discussed the car with Tom and got some feedback. Tom has also saved me sending Olav on a wild goose chase on what looked like a nice car that is a cut and shut. He is also restoring some German Cup 964s which have decent race history and not to many dents. If your interested you need to look at all the options. If your going for the colour then it is a great buy! ;O)
Yes Tom is certainly the man to speak to about history of these and all our cars ... there is certainly nothing he is not aware or indeed aware off ....

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.ORIGINAL: carreraboy ... there is certainly nothing he is not aware or indeed aware off ....
I love him too ... he is just the best, obviously done you a good deal recently .... on my way over to buy the Clubbie it's so cheap ..... []
]Ok, so I assume that either the yellow car isnt on the original shell anymore (a big issue for originality), and/or potentially has had a new front or rear? And assumably the work is not done up to standard? In which case they are big detractors from purchase and worth people knowing - but equally are quite big accusations. I think if discussing cars for sale its only fair to get all "the options" out in the open.
But there can be unknowns not known to the knowing known that no one knows or even know that become unknown .... but sometimes the unknowing known of the known knowns that the known known has become the known an suddenly knows the known but can quickly be the unknown, who know's?ORIGINAL: 964RSÂ There are known knowns.
