In the middle of selling my Classic 911 (via a specialist dealer on consignment, having got sick of timewasters and scammers), to fund a late 60's / early 70's Alfa GTV, so up to my eyes in following / researching classic prices at the moment.
I had a 2000 GTV back in the 80’s and literally watched it drop apart (and rust) around me
Sorry the thread has got hijacked, its not meant to be about me.QuoteI had a 2000 GTV back in the 80’s and literally watched it drop apart (and rust) around meProbably why they are getting scarcer No rational reason for wanting one other than that beautiful Bertone body shape and the twin cam engine (chain driven, not belt).Not too many rotboxes are left around now, most have gone to the great scrapyard in the sky. Those that survive have mostly been rebuilt, I'll prefer one from a specialist (with a reputation to keep) with receipts for a rebuild, they do exist, but aren't cheap. Old 911's hide rust very well too, I have a telescopic rod with a magnet in the end which gets poked everywhere. I know how to walk if not 100% happy, I looked at plenty.I will be doing due diligence, don't worry, I'd preferably go for a 1750 or 2000 GTV that has come from a salt free environment such as South Africa, Japan or Singapore, RHD markets where they were exported in CKD form for tax reasons. Here's a hot rodded one from Japan https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C954320 Google tells me its been to a couple of auctions and not soldA Singapore one, but down in Cornwall https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C983653There's another 1750 from Bahrain that has obviously never seen rain, but has new paint and interior, no doubt because of the sun.And a 2000 which I looked at at the NEC show, its had a whole boatload spent on a full rebuild, but not used for a long time since, which can create its own issues https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1055943I might get something else, but whatever happens the 911 is going, sadly as its got worth more I've got too precious about where I'll leave it, especially around these parts, an Alfa is a bit more anonymous in comparison.
