Don't we think the 911 prices are a bit too overinflated? I think they've gone crazy very quickly which may or may not be a good thing for an investment (ie the boat has long sailed)

911 turbo prices are stupidly high! Yes the boat has definitely well and truly sailed on those.

Thanks guys, lots of suggestions to look at there. But a 22B definitely isn't his thing! He did comment that a 355 Spider looks very nice but it's pushing it at £80k.
Interesting suggestion regarding a V12 Merc SL600. After a bit of research, it seems that a V8 Merc SL60 AMG is probably a better and more exciting car according to various forums and comments. Only 50ish made in RHD :eek: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...a2396208a.jpeg Porsche 968 Club Sport with factory decals? Surely that's gonna be worth a bomb in say 10 years(?) https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...7c599a5ae.jpeg Lots of these suggestions has opened doors to other ideas which is great. |
Bentley Brooklands...probably a bit out of budget unless you hunt about.
A cheaper alternative is 1990s-early 2000s Continental T or R420 "final series" with the wide body option...do not confuse this with the newer GT. They are totally different cars...the latter is common as muck VW. The other is old school pre-BMW/VW and due to this, holds its money. I personally like the Continental SC (Sedanca Coupe) very few made for the UK market. Bit of an acquired taste..but you can always leave the roof on. ;) |

what is it like to drive. |
OK for what it is (1990's sports car)....just in this day and age its not fast enough though, which is kind of embarassing when every chavvy gimp wants to race it and you know the average WRX could out drag it on the straights.
In the twisties though it is sublime...comfy too, not over-stiff like many cars are; You can chuck it round bumpy bends and its corner fast and flat, whereas Hawk STi would start to bounce and skip. I'd compare it to a Porsche 993C2 but with better handling/manners. |

but having Senna derived sublime handling |
I have a nice MY00 Classic Impreza in blue I am willing to let go for the right price :D

The problem with Ferrari is the running costs, esp on the 348/355/360.
Do not kid yourself, esp with the older stuff. But, that said look at Dino values. You could not give them away 15 years ago - now they are £300-£500k. |
As has been said, 355 (manual), 360 manual, 996GT3 or possibly a 997 Turbo S.
Hell, even the 348 has gone through the roof. IF you can find one, a 575 manual (pretty much any Ferrari manual) Not sure about the Maser, or tbh the 22B Air-cooled Porsche? may have missed the boat on those now. |
