    Thanks, enjoyed the driving review. Overall, would you say it is worth the outlay for one? I am looking out for cars that should at least hold value. Quattro, 911s, R8, etc.

    • @RevMonkey
      @RevMonkey  Місяць тому

      I believe, in the long run, due to this car's particular story that it 'should' outperform the others mentioned.
      A 911 GT model is relatively safe.
      A manual R8 Spider V10 is a good buy.
      I would also add in a Lotus Elise, a Clio V6 and and Alfa SZ.

    How many do you reckon are actually in the UK now then? I don't even see these at sports car events.

    • @RevMonkey
      @RevMonkey  Місяць тому

      No real way to get that figure. Some of the original 75 would have now ended up abroad. Most will be off the road. I would guestimate about 25?

      For sure, this one. The Porsche. Much rarer and at some point I reckon it will jump up in price.

    • @RevMonkey
      @RevMonkey  2 місяці тому +1

      Had to think on this one. Not driven either for a week or so now.
      There are some similarities. Feel wise, physically, the integrale seems tighter and more modern. Feel wise, mentally, they are both great for my ego as I know how rare and special they are , just that more people know the integrale is special.

  • @chrismyers6081
    @chrismyers6081 Місяць тому +2

    The problem with this car is that you can get a decent GT4 or several decent 911s for the same price.

    • @RevMonkey
      @RevMonkey  Місяць тому

      Yeah, you are not wrong. If somebody is just a Porsche fan then there are many sensible options out there. You would have to like the specialness and rarity of this to make the jump.

    The car looks like it has decent space in the back but you say it sont fit 4 people in it? Do the seats go forward in the back to add more luggage space?

      @RevMonkey  Місяць тому

      You mean fold forward? No idea. I have never looked at them or opened the boot.
      Two chlidren can get in there. Perhaps a little more space than a 911.
