Gaz 1042 Report post Posted August 26, 2013 Somewhere in the darkness there is a DB4 parked outside the restaurant on Saturday night. Sounds amazing. Also today saw a PFL Tech 1 coupe on widened steelies down Blenheim Road. Anyone on here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted August 26, 2013 Saw one of these today. Carjam says its Genuine too. http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=TZ1558 Those that think its just another 911, its actually a 356 which is one of if not the first Porsche models made, based on a VW Beetle which Porsche himself designed for VW (and Hitler for that matter). Convertibles of this called speedsters are well into the 200k range, im not really sure what this Type B is worth, probably not quite that much, but a very rare car these days none the less.

Allanw 1051 Report post Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Nice 356! If that were mine, it'd be parked a LOT better - some SUV is gonna reverse into it If you hadn't given the extra info, I was going to make a joke about posting a VW Beetle in the SPOTTED thread I have a Beetle, so I practically own one of those Edited August 26, 2013 by Allanw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Came back this week from our triannual trip to Europe to see family, etc. Spotted this in France. Oh dear. Saw a lot of these new 3 series GTs in France. Don't like 'em. Our tiny Fiat 500 hire car got upgraded to this in the UK. Pity we only had it for 2 days. The weather was like this in England (that's an E46 M3 in a traffic jam in front BTW). Saw this ludicrous 'toy' car in Selfridges. It's a proper miniature car. Saw some arabs seriously considering it for their little prince. Saw this ludicrous toy in the McLaren store. I could live with it.

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) ^^ Awesome!!! Some great sights on that trip! Do you have any more of the mini-car? Looks pretty intricate!No, I was mainly trying to prevent my four year old from climbing into it and driving off, so I barely got a chance to take this pic!!What was interesting is that in both the UK and France I saw thousands of bimmers but very few that were older than E90s and E60s. A few E46s but very few E39s and I only saw one E30 (a mint green convertible in Paris). Guess the climate and cheaper costs mean people don't keep them as long as we do. Couldn't help thinking some of the very well kept older members' cars on here would be great desirable over there!

E30 325i Rag-Top 2915 Report post Posted August 30, 2013 What was interesting is that in both the UK and France I saw thousands of bimmers but very few that were older than E90s and E60s. A few E46s but very few E39s and I only saw one E30 (a mint green convertible in Paris). Guess the climate and cheaper costs mean people don't keep them as long as we do.Many reasons, but cars are much less "desirable" once they are over 3 or 4 years old. Only 1 in five new vehicles sold in the UK goes to a private buyer, the rest are lease / hire / company cars which get flicked every 12months, or 3 years tops.Also contributes to the flood of older imports into NZ.. the average age of the NZ fleet would be approx. twice that of the UK or most EU countries. Lots of well kept older models if you know where to look, not used so much as daily drivers though, more sunny Sunday drivers, which given the weather is why they don't come out that often !!
