Hi Gogsie

Yes I know of this car, it has been for sale for about 18 months.

I remember someone saying a while ago that the car was not properly registered but I cannot be sure of this & certainly don't want to start the drums beating !!!!!

That one is ok, it made it in before the euro 4 regs took hold
Still too expensive though hence why its not sold.

Thanks apac, it's a bit, let's say "loud" for me. Good for the right person though.

I have looked around and theres no hawkeyes which is the most popular one and last year was a shocking year all round for car sales . I think a lot of ppl just don't like the new shape and the fact that the hawkeye is the last version of the iconic 4 door saloon .

It's funny that everyone says they are in demand etc. Both times I tried to sell mine there was no interest even at a very competitive price.

Paddokx - I thought you had already bought two Spec Cs already this year?

Yep, bought a crystal grey hawkeye, sold it !!! bought a red hawkeye sold it !!! I change cars like the weather !!! The wife goes mad !!!

Regret selling the red one, a bit special that one. Fell in love with a 911.

Dont use them on the road, just track use.

I agree with immy fresh imports will be far too expensive, just a shame the RA-R is white

I did ask Iain to look out for a Hawkeye Spec C or RA-R in blue, he said there may be a brand new Spec C coming onto the market soon but no other details than that.
