That's pretty much where my head's at. A launch type spec or a more stand out colour would certainly make it look nicer in the garage and grab attention more readily. Safe daily type spec coupled with patchy history really dents the collectability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman42 Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 This makes the Boxster owner looks like a complete amateur - it’s never even been taken out of the box! 😳 https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2016-honda-rc213v-s difference is that this is a proper collectors item and rare. bargain hunt always say to keep your toys in their original boxes for most value! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryg Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 As a 60 year old it is absolutely mad for me to conceive how any Ford Escort could be worth more than any Boxster, but then it is a mad world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! I have no idea of it’s worth but that’s serious money. It’s only 5yrs old, imagine what it will be worth in 15/20yrs time! Assuming we’re not banned for owning any ICE vehicles by then!!

TROOPER88 Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Jason, Christopher and Dunks out already Being a Boxster site, I am surprised that all you guys that have said sub 20k do not know the value of it to be totally honest 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to bid but tbh, I am not sure what I would do with it. It is not one that I could flip due to the market exposure; I would have to sit on it for at least a year. I am also put of by the fact that I am not dealing with the original owner but a ' collector who has not put it in their name...' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clivescoobydo Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 The switch over to milk floats will probably take 20 years plus from 2030. I think 2050 is when Johnson has committed the UK to be carbon neutral. I would imagine in reality it will take longer as they’ll be bullshyate carbon off setting. Meanwhile the other 99% of the globe will carry on with ICE as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason3.2s Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Anyone on here buy the 981 PDK number plate last week off that website? Seems very good value for £1,050! Edited June 29, 2021 by jason3.2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems very good value for £1,050! The less ‘special’ number plates don’t do very well on there, no doubt caused by their £300 minimum fee So in reality that plate cost £1,350 so not sure that’s good value. Maybe that’s because I drive a 987 though 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
