- A video we made at the Fairmile Cobham Porsche meeting June 2024. Organized by 911UK we took a couple of our 911virgin stock cars. A rare 991 Speedster and a lovely 987 Boxster Spyder.
As well as talking about those two cars we had a walk around looking at some cars which took our fancy.
Hey! Good video. That Lava Orange RS is mine😅
Hopefully see you there at the meeting this week. I think we're going old school this time.
This modern 911 Speedster just sticks all the boxes.The Boxster Spyder is a fine act too, something for everyone.What a fantastic marque Porsche is.
Yes, the Speedster is a cracking car as is the Boxster.
As usual, beautiful cars Henry. Both open tops for that perfect weather you were enjoying there, and that with their own 'music box' sound. Great that green 964 too. BTW, that spiders 40K and 80K? gosh excellent values!
Cheers from Houston
The Spyder is £40,995, the Speedster £280,000. both good value I think.
Thanks. That red speedster is absolutely gorgeous 🎉 And always have time for the 356
The 991 Speedster is a very special car not least of which because of its GT3 underpinnings. Who doesn't love the look of a 356 !
Nice Colour Speedster, My favourite is still the 89 Wide G body Speedster red with the black stone gaurds
Sold a 3.2 Speedster a few years ago now for £35,000. Hindsight is a wonderful thing although I guess we had to eat in the meantime.
The speedster is a desirable 911 to own along with the Cayman and Boxster due to the two seats. The speedster is super rare as a snakes ass, love em.
The only good-looking Speedster is the 356.
It is certainly an iconic look.
Nice legs, Henry!
Very kind of you to say. It's worth pointing out that I am currently happily married and not looking to get into another relationship but should circumstances change I will keep you in mind. Don't bother sending photos at this stage though.... 😃
@@911virgin8 😆 LOL!
I hope to goodness you don't patronise all of your customers as you did this poor chap.
Genuinely sorry if I caused offence but we just don't do electric cars. In the 4 years since posting our first video we haven't mentioned EVs. We do internal combustion with no thought for the moment of changing. It helps that we sell and service a very broad church when it comes to generations. There are tons of places that debate which is best, ICE or EV but I'd rather not get into an argument over it. I have my views and I guess the fact we don't have a single EV or hybrid on the fleet speaks volume but which ever cup you drink from I'd rather find similarities than differences.
@@911virgin8 14:38 Henry. Nothing whatsoever to do with EVs.
@@diremond3700 The fact that someone so young has an appreciation of cars like the 993 Targa makes me happy to the core and he is a true enthusiast living and driving the dream. Forgive me for celebrating the fact. My proudest moment this year was getting my young daughter into a 987 Boxster.
@@911virgin8 All the more reason not to patronise him, don't you think?
@@diremond3700 If I've got it wrong I humbly apologise. These aren't scripted or planned, very much on the spur. In this case a conversation was had off camera to ensure all was well.
Spyder 40k?
Yes, £40,995.

Henry History Lesson 1948 Speedster the year Porsche started up not 1963
1963 was referenced as the year Porsche launched the 911 and that's why they often produce 1963 examples of limited run cars. 🙂
A last reminder of how good ICE cars can be - before we disappear down the EV/Tech rabbit hole……
Don't be so defeatist. There are viable alternatives.
Given some of the cars there were from the 1950's I think we've got plenty of Porsche options to keep us going for a while yet before we run out. When it comes to electric cars at least Porsche are producing something which still adheres to optimum handling.
@@911virgin8 You should be highlighting the money Porsche are investing in their alternative fuel plant in Chile. That, or ideas such as that, is the future. Forced electrification is a disaster for the planet, for car manufacturers and for buyers. Buy a Porsche (or any other) EV and lose a fortune overnight. Wonderful!
@@911virgin8My worry is that this fixation on tech / EV on the part of the manufacturers is an attempt to generate Mobile Phone levels of “built in obsolescence” into cars - and to then push the consumer into ever more expensive “subscriptions” with manufacturers - wherby they have to change/upgrade model every 2-3 years, and rely wholly on “in dealer” servicing. I’d always thought / hoped that EV’s would make the performance car simpler and cheaper - but we seem to be heading in the opposite direction.
@@neilrobson3064 The manufacturers have to somehow recoup their costs thanks to the forced legislation. No-one is winning here and if we don't start resisting then the future most certainly isn't bright.
