runnersp Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Sheriff, I know you say don't trust Craigslist, but this seems pretty legit... Clicky linky!
Whippy930 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) That was the one featured in the current 911 & PW article, indeed they're the pics used. Fairly rare in red. Once (or still) owned by Wayne Dempsey I think. Edited February 10, 2010 by Whippy930
johndglynn Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Sheriff, I know you say don't trust Craigslist, but this seems pretty legit. I don't say don't trust it - I bought Varmint from Craigs. Just watch out with these sites is all I say. Yes that is the 959 we shot. Nowt to do with Wayne, his is black. Gotta love Wayne. What a legend!
runnersp Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 I wasn't aware of an 'S' version... Those seats are proper special...
johndglynn Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I wasn't aware of an 'S' version. Those seats are proper special. It's a fabulous car but stock ones are cheaper over here. A buddy is selling his serviced-by-the-factory one in Germany for 250k euros. S is Sport. Low frills/big thrills.
runnersp Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 Unfortunately the Italian lottery has finally found a winner and I'm not the one collecting the €137 million cheque. However if I had won, a 959 would have been the first car to enter my new two storey heated and carpeted garage... Anyway, moving on!
Whippy930 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Yes that is the 959 we shot. Nowt to do with Wayne, his is black. Yip, I re checked that article after my last post and it seems I was thrown by the thank you box in the top left corner of the final page re- Wayne Dempsey. John, your knowledge knows no bounds... you'd swear you wrote this stuff. Another great Glynn/Lipman piece BTW. It's a fabulous car but stock ones are cheaper over here. A buddy is selling his serviced-by-the-factory one in Germany for 250k euros. S is Sport. Low frills/big thrills. Dick Lovett had one advertised in Bristol recently for a good deal cheaper too. White one, cant remember the price but fair bit cheaper. Gone from his stock list when I went back to check the price. Someone must have bought it.... What Recession?
johndglynn Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 John, your knowledge knows no bounds... It knows loads of bounds but this one was fairly recent Wayne runs the 959 registry so we chatted about the federalisation stuff while I was writing this, hence the thank you. Bruce Canepa is selling it - he's in one of the pics.
Fred Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 hey nice one, I'll send the link to a friend of mine, he might want to buy it! I am not sure he will want it red...
pete917 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 awesome car. Would definitely have ne in my top ten car garage
johndglynn Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 911 & Porsche World magazine have used our California 959 article in their monthly teaser. You can download it here.
left4dead Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Neil Dicken's has just taken delivery of this with 5.5k miles on the clock and yours for circa £300k, I believe:
pete917 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) 5k miles. I know these things are more valuable if low mileage, but if I was lucky enough to own one I'd have to drive it more than that Edited February 12, 2010 by pete917
Anconablue72 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 The were meant to be driven really, about four years ago i looked round a white one a local specialist here in Kent, they had it in recommisioning back into use after a really long lay up, it needed loadsa stuff inc a clutch etc,lots of tools needed are only available at a main dealer they were saying,the car wasn't finished but the bill was already up to 24k.. I suppose if you can afford to buy one it's probably not a major issue?? Definately a dream car, dunno how much fun having one would actually be though, a 993 turbo reckoned to be pretty similar performance for a fraction of the price, but it's not an iconic supercar i guess..well maybe a bit. Worth reading Wayne Dempsy's write up on his one and the problems with locating suspension rubber chamber/ball things are available as new old stock for loadsa money but are old stock..really interesting stuff.
Whippy930 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I heard once of a fella in France who needed a rear wing panel complete... £42k..... Oops...
mean in green Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Could've knocked him a panel up for forty one. Bit like this:
