Why I'm Selling My Porsche 911 Carrera T
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2020
- Sadly the time has come to part ways with my incredible Porsche 911 Carrera T, the car that I completed the majority of Drive The World in. It's been an amazing 18 months with the T and I'm going to miss it sorely, but I have my reasons as to why I feel now is the right time to move on.

Next week’s video “why I’ve decided to keep my 911T”
Lol fair, but this time I’ve finally made my mind up
As with all motoring youtubers they look for cars that draw in the viewers and the £££. That's why some cars get bought and then sold quite quickly. The GR Supra is a prime example; suddenly it was the "must have trinket", but when it's flame started to die they immediately tried modding them for popularity. When that didn't work, "the I'm selling my Supra" videos got dropped. These cars are a business to the automotive youtubers. To us, cars are either a necessity or bought from a love of the car. It's a different world. I suppose it does keep the content fresh and interesting so it's all good in the end.
@@stubones That's true, but of those youtubers Sam is more on the other end of the spectrum, he tens to keep the cars more times, and even if he sells them, you can se he gets more attached to them.
you can clearly see here, that if it wasn't for needing money for his business he would probably keep it, and that was probably the plan before covid hit
I agree with stigs
Stigs722 he’ll be crying when it sells for £60,000 wow
this is sad, the porsche was actually my favourite seen through glass car
Sad times indeed but change can sometimes be good ;)
@@seenthroughglass agreed
@@seenthroughglass Have you had any thoughts or ideas Sam on what your next car should be to replace you 911 Carrera T will you stay with Porsche? or will you go with an SUV car like a Range Rover Velar from Jaguar Land Rover for example? www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201911254729055?postcode=tw13hy&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=Used&model=RANGE%20ROVER%20VELAR&price-to=250000&radius=45&sort=year-desc&seller-type=trade&fuel-type=Diesel&advertising-location=at_cars&make=LAND%20ROVER&aggregatedTrim=R-Dynamic%20HSE&page=1
this was and will forever be the most emotionless car sam has ever owned without any doubt.
@@phantom2k10 He has been through so many emotional experiences on this car though.
This is seen through tears 😭
Haha me too!
张世超 will be at £63,000 - absolutely done his chestnuts on this one
@@seenthroughglass You think people crying is funny! ArGGGGGHHH... LOL :P
VL123 yeah no haha on my side lol
Nice to meet you at logic and glad you like the purple pista 👍
I’m probably wrong but if I was in the market for a 911 I would be inclined to pay more if it still had the full drive the world livery and that story clearly part of it ...

You must make space for new things to arrive, right Sam! You'll get through this tough time surely. For the video, it was a great review of the A110, and with the added mods, it is now a great driver too. Excellent review, great camera angles and superb presentation. Givin' it a thumbs up and waiting for plenty more videos to come...
Watching your video's always make me want to go for a drive, keep up the great work! :)
When I saw the car in Chicago (you parked at montrose harbor) I was absolutely floored. That’s how I found your UA-cam channel actually. Good luck on the next step!
Hopefully we see another Porsche in your garage in the future. A GT Porsche perhaps?🤷🏻♂️
This is the goal! I'm fully hooked on Porsche now... sorry everyone ha
@MunroM84 "boring" but fast af :D, and 991.2 turbo/s are probably more affordable, due to the fact that the 992 is out. Also the perfect daily for Sam xD
@@seenthroughglass been saying 991.1 GTS... great sound, pretty good power. Or, as more affordable one, 981 Cayman GTS.
Just imagine doing a thing like this with your friends. ua-cam.com/video/uXFCL0H2CA8/v-deo.html
991r would suit u incrediblely
@MunroM84 'no one owns one'. And then Mr JWW goes and reveals his ahah
As long as you’re keeping the 360! Excited to see what’s next for the STG garage!
I've thoroughly enjoyed watching you and this car travel the world, it will be sorely missed, but as you say new car new memories. 😁. I'll be looking back on the drive the world series and reliving the good times. 👍 Looking forward to the new adventures.
Behind the glass title in 3 years: the one That got away
Sam: “my 911T *a lot of crying*”
Awesome journey, thanks for sharing!
Gutted its leaving. One of the first videos I watched from this channel had this car in it. Looking forward to a future of amazing content from you Sam. Keep safe and be careful 👍
Thanks for following the journey, more adventures to come
@@seenthroughglass Glad to hear it. Stay safe
Sam- tell Tony at Gravelwood he has listed your Porsche as 'Green' colour !
and as “one owner” car
stefano sassi ye and for £63k
stefano sassi It is one owner?
Sad to see it go Sam but look forward to the next chapter and project
Hey Sam! Keep up the great content!
Thanks mate
Thanks to your videos with the carrera T, its now my goal to get a porsche 911. If I had the money I would totally buy yours but im still a few years away. Cant wait to see what car you get next.
That's Phil Dixon's Ferrari Pista from the UA-cam channel 'Morethancars'
It's sad to see it leave, that was a fantastic year with it!
BUT looking forward to what it makes space for, pretty sure that will be as awesome :D
Aww this is so sad, Im gonna miss this car so much it's been my favourite motor, Off all the cars on all the channels, I was not a Porsche fan until the 911 T and your car, and now it is my absolute dream sports car.
If it was a left hand drive and manual ( I know with world tour more sense auto), I would have been both it with STG style and keep it forever !
Sad to see the 911 go, but hopefully we will se some awesome content with something else, once all of this crazy stuff is going away, cheers mate keep up the good work
Enjoyed that - thanks!
That’s an awesome looking color and love the rally lights!
Sad but exciting times! With losing the Carrera T it means that Sam can fund what he has planned, as he said! So I'm so excited for that! A year of joy but I'm excited for the next chapter! Experiencing the 8C from the passenger seat.... It's the most terrifying car I been in! Unforgiving and wants to spin you out! But the exhaust note is out of this world and the overrun is perfect! If you get a chance Sam, take it! You will not regret it 😊
You need a Litchfield Alpine A110 in your life Sam, it looks and sounds amazing!😎❤️
Great to see you visit Rave Coffee in Ciren, awesome coffee there! 👍🏻
Archie Hamilton would be proud with this video name/theme! Something he excels at.
Archie Hamilton is a very dislikable immature little knob. After watching him once, I swore never again and when I came across him on a TGE video, I unsubbed from TGE so as to avoid the little knob.
@@GenaF I could have written your comment word for word for myself about them. LOL
hamilton is just a moron kid, many money and no taste
@@GenaF similar here. Tolerated him for a bit but a video where he claimed in the title that his Lamborghini had been vandalised, when it hadn't, was the final clickbait straw for me. Whole video was just a desperate scripted excuse for some views. TGE was better but Archie was in his videos so much I stopped watching him too.
BF20 GLF Gena did he bang your girl or something like that ? Lol how hateful you are is mesmerizing
Damn dude ! Keep the channel alive buddy . Interesting to know what’s going to replace it ?
Catching up with your channel. You keep selling the cars as I get into the series!! Cayman daily - selling it, never mind. Carrara T .... modified.... world drive....selling it, never mind! :) Keep living the dream, love the channel, heartbreaks aside.
You’re so enjoyable to watch.
I can't believe you got rid of the wrap, the colours were amazing.
Having actually seen this car in person in America/Canada, I agree it's kind of sad to see it go but at the same time it has served its purpose and it's time for it to go. For the record I loved how it looked with the wrap and rally lights etc on it. LOL
Your 911 was so unique, i really liked your mods
Sam, just checked out the Gravelwood listing, interesting Tony has it listed as Green! Did you not tell him you were removing the mods! I thought it would be sold as the round the world spec! Totally disappointed you de-tuned, removed the decals and the car has lost its identity! Why? Would have been a real collectors icon, in the years ahead. The value would have been in the history.
All the best with your next adventure. The channel is superb! Keep up the great content here and on ‘Behind the Glass’. So now my search for a Targa GTS is starting. Keep banging out amazing content! Cheers👍👍
AMAZING! EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!!!
Hi Sam,
just curious, do you know if the transmission in the a110 is able withstand the added newton meters of torque? The Getrag 7DCT300 gearbox is designed to cope with 320nm. That is why the A110S only has an increase in horse power but leaves the torque figure untouched. I am sure the standard a110 engine will be able to handle the extra 50 horse power, but I am afraid that the life span of the gearbox will be compromised when adding 60-80nm. I guess that some gearboxes have quite a safety margin and the test of time will tell whether they are able to handle the additional power. Still not sure whether it is worth the risk considering that Getrag gearboxes are notoriously expensive. Any thoughts or insights? Did Litchfield provided you with additional information that might be helpful?
Cheers,
Max
I hope things pick up for you financially so you can bring us more amazing content 🙏🏾
Same!
Next up "I've bought a Ferrari 488!"
Definitely not ha
Beautiful car! Love the colour
Feels like another victim of 2020 :( I have to say I love the Alpine in the pearl red and with a better stance, tire and wheel package. And GT Silver is stunning. I hope she goes to a worthy home!
OMG! That's a lot of GTRs. Looking forward to the video about them!
Remember seeing your 911T down in Austria for the Wörthersee Festival, Will be sad to see it gone 😭
Sad to see it go. On an unrelated topic, What is that cell phone windshield mount you’re using? Love the look of it.
Another great video Sam! Just curious have you ever considered a Porsche Targa for a daily?
Gotta do what you gotta do good sir. You can pick up another down the road. Not a big deal. Keep up the great work!
Sad to see it go, curious to see what happens next though, ;)
Nice to see Phil Dixons Pista in its stunning wrap, sorry you are selling the 911 T and I would love to buy it if I had the funds
Such a classic car!
Love the 911, sad to see it go
Same!
That’s a humble and honest posture. If I live in the UK I would buy it in a heartbeat. But I can’t have a RHD.
That 8C.
It's so incredibly beautiful.
One of my favorite cars.
Did you take the exhaust and the performance bits off on the 911T as well?
Keep up the great work.
Can't wait to see what comes next.
green with the rally lights are fantastic.
The red really doesn’t do that Alpine justice... My A110 is black with blue brake callipers and it looks insane in my opinion!!!
Ig?
Trent List Car IG coming soon! Maybe...
I quite like the red. Mine is trad Alpine Blue, but the red is quite striking with the black wheels.
I looked for a Carrera T in January but couldn't find one with a DK in my region. So I ended up with a regular Carrera with the proper options. Plenty quick and comfortable with the 14 way sport seats. Wish I would have bought a 911 earlier in my life than after retirement.
Porsche should do themselves a favour and buy back this car as one of their museum pieces. It's pretty significant!
It's 33mpg as listed by Gravelwood do read impressively significant indeed.
After the latest Behind the Glass with Tony I’ve a feeling I know what’s replacing the 911. Either way Sam, top bloke
GT3 Touring?
Luc PWG yes, replace it with a more expensive car, that’ll free up some cash 🤦🏻🤦🏻🙄
Hi Sam! Hope the 911 sells fast and about funding, are you working on new STG merch?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO & i haven't even watched the whole video yet but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Love the T, it’s my definitive 911 from the last few years. Would seriously consider buying it but...needs to be a manual not PDK.
Had to smile as ya passed the Freshlinc lorry, they are only 10 mins from me.
I would love an Alpine, but not available in Ireland. 🙁
Mid engined hot hatch. Superb description. Now I REALLY WANT ONE.
The Porsche T was a success. Everyone knows it has nothing but highway miles. Great condition for the next owner.
Wish you every success in your business. You turn out some excellent content.
The moves you have to make in life... Bye bye to your TTW 4 wheel companion! It's been a crucial part of the most epic and historic content of the channel so far! I really hope you keep your business intact during these times, Sam! Just like you, the STG deserves it!;)
Time to bring another car to the channel and build new memories. Maybe a road trip in your 360 Challenge?
I saw Phil Dixon's 488 Pista at the beginning of your vid, before knowing you were at Logic. He collected his midweek as he's driven down to Monaco.
It is fabulous looking with that roof thingy 😊😊😊
Cool stuff
Right sorting out thrills. its a nice look bit of kit.. the qualitys good and something of a niche like the Alfa 4C
Keep it man
Did you have to replace the front bumper because of the holes from the spot lamps?. Great video.
Great looking car. Someone will be lucky to have it.
I am sad the 911 T is going, and can’t understand why you did those mods(tune and exhaust) right before selling? I have a 17 carrera that will be getting an exhaust and possibly a tune so was definitely interested to hear your long term thoughts on both!
Sad to see it go. A great buy at gravelwood cars for the next owner
Hey Sam ,Tony thinks it's still green 😁😁😁 that GT silver looks so good - , unfortunately it would cost me over 200k to import it 😢😢😢
I know this is gonna sound strange, but where did u get your jacket U wore at the start of the video? I love it
Love this car, it’s perfect. Sad to see it go but at least you have all the memories with it on film
Sums up my feelings perfectly
What a beast of a car!👍🏽
Did you remove the Akrapovic exhaust and the ECU tune? Better resale value without - just curios - having recently tuned my car in the same way!
Still think you should release a coffee table photo book of photos of the T would be so cool
It looks soo good in its factory spec! Sad to see it go.
Sam, did the rally lights affect the paintwork at all? Just curious... 🤓
Just to let you know Sam, there is somewhere a guy who is big fan of Porsches like me.... It is a dream for me just to watch, I hope one day I will buy my dream car - 911 Turbo S 991 or 992!
I really loved the mods. Should have left it on the car!
Ooooooooo that pista.........love it.
You were about 8 miles away from me when you drove past Kemble Airfield.
The alpine actually looks great in red!
Yes, the 8C is a masterpiece. I'm glad you gave it time in this video. Also, The 911 is a very nice car but now that you've sold it you can put money down on a proper 911, a Porsche by Singer.
Im a porsche fan an i think its really great that you have such a unique porsche. Please dont get a boring ferrari/lambo like most youtubers. Get a really unique for yourself car, please!
You will want to buy it back in a few years
Probably lol
You might want to tell Tony to update his advert to the current colour 😉
Well, it seems to be a good move, in order to secure as much cash/money before the summer of 2021.
Does it still come with the Akrapovic exhaust and Lichfield remap, it wan’t entirely clear from the video what mechanical aspects have been removed
I remember the litchfield A110 did very well in the carwow drag race.
Jesus it looks so much better in silver, but, not my car, and it's nice to see it restored, sort of satisfies my OCD a bit.
Any idea as to what's next for the garage?
From the rear I think the A110 looks amazing, from the front it's a bit of a mess.
🥺 A sad choice Sam 😢
But I'm sure there's something else in the pipeline for the future 🙂
You'll still have all those memories buddy, and as you've said, a new car can build new memories too 😊
