I think Nick Mason running his kids to school in the 250GTO was a tad rarer & more expensive school bus!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm not a big 911 fan to be honest, unless it's a GT3, but there is one 911 that I really have a soft spot for and that's the RS 4.0.
On the school run this morning, lo and behold, an RS 4.0 cruises by at walking pace in traffic. I thought these were super rare collector things, and not the kind of car you'd use to drop off a sprog at school...
Looked absolutely stunning, but my question is.... How rare are these beauties?!

600 Globally, something like just 26 UK cars (maybe less) and RHD are 350k bid no offers
£350k - Wow, I was expecting it to be around the £180k mark.
So the answer is pretty rare in the UK and pretty expensive too (for a beetle...)

You could get yourself an NSX-R if that's a bit steep
There were 140 made of the later cars, with only 1 in the UK and 1 other in Europe. A mere £200k when i was looking at importing one last year, and it'll become easier next year due to the 10 year rules.

Doesn't the 4.0 have a history of engine problems? Take the 3.8 and pocket a few hundred grand imho.
TX.
No. I think you might be confused with the 991 GT3 which had some teething problems with the first ones off the production line. The 4.0 is a fantastic engine.
Chris Harris owned one and raved about it. See this video.

Wasn't there a recall on the 4.0 for some small part in the intake system that could work loose to be ingested and lunch the engine, or something similar? Not an inherent problem with the motor itself, but I seem to remember a handful of cars had to have replacement engines as a result.

Yes...issue also affected the 3.8....
