I think if the opportunity arises for me to change though I probably will.
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.

Heard that a 996.1 C2 sold for 50 big ones at the NEC Show?
Restored by Porsche Classic program, one of 20 different models. My understanding Porsche are show casing and will offer this restoration service more.
Sure I'm biased as an owner, but seeing a pic of the restored 996.1 by Porsche in Liquid Metal, does make me imagine picturing a time when these wonderful cars will be held in the same regard as the 993, 964. Is it possible an owner in the future, like me who hankered after a 964, might just have to think hard which one to have!
To be fair I think any one of the 20 cars restored by Porsche are worth the money they're fetching.
My friend almost bought the 944 Turbo for £38k. The 968 looks ace too.
For anyone who doesn't know the story of these, to celebrate it's 70th birthday Porsche restored 20 different cars back to brand new condition.
All were painted in the 918 colour Liquid Metal.
The prices of some would barely cover the man hour costs. All are perfection.
Just to add. As much as I like my 996 I don't think anyone would ever chose one over a 964 or 993 were they the same price. But for the Bargain basement costs 996s still offer a great 911 experience.
I think if the opportunity arises for me to change though I probably will.
Maybe next summer but more likely the one after.
Thanks for the Pic Marky911. Agreed any savvy owner of these 20 cars will sleep very very easily.
Surely though you'd have to admit right now in the press and forums, as a previous 964 and 996 owner, there's a strong whiff of a 964 frenzy building for the high competent and frankly joke priced 996. :dont know:
There are actually a couple of 'Liquid Metal' colours. I presume these are in the silver but there's also a chrome blue. Both were used on the 918 as an option.
50k is huge money on the face of it but think differently and the guy has effectively gone back in time and bought a one off brand new 996 series 911 for 50k so that seems more than reasonable!!
I happily chose a 996 Turbo over a 993 Turbo (so disappointing, that car), even though it cost 20K more!
Bad financial decision, but the driving was (to me) far, far better. :thumb:
Love the colour scheme they have chosen for these anniversary editions, simply stunning in the metal. Pristine underneath too. Wonder whether any of the unique parts will be available on Porsche Classic after this (e.g. seats etc.)
