I don't think the S and S2 models are rising in value the same way the S4 and very early cars are (or maybe there just aren't so many of them for sale). I also think that cosmetic condition is very important for buyers and you don't mention that. So my guess would be £5k tops. But bear in mind that any secondhand object is worth as much as the next buyer is prepared to pay, so you could advertise it for £8k and see if there's any interest. |

Hi  As its an 86 S2 like mine, with the S4 suspension/brakes etc, its worth more than a standard S2.... Prices ARE rising , so my guess (without pics and assuming its in good nick) ..... Somewhere between 5K to 10K ..... The way to judge it, is to look around for a replacement (say if yours was written off) .... You will NOT find an 86 for less than 5K.....and one in good nick (IF you can find one) ...7 or 8 or 9 or 10k .... All the best Brett

I'd agree with Brett. With project S2's around £3K like the one below, and by the time fresh paint, leather, mechanicals and all electrics have been straightened you are probably looking at £9K - £10K currently. http://www.jmgporsche.co.uk/index.php/m ... rade/928s2 |

Assume you buy a project S2 for £2.5k (I've knocked a bit off JMG's price as they're a dealer and you wouldn't expect to pay so much in a private sale) and put £5k into paint and tidying, you aren't going to make back the full cost of the work when you sell it so it's worth about £6k. Not many pre-S4s for sale but here's one on autotrader for £7k from a dealer (OK it's missing its front spoiler but we'll ignore that). Take off £1k as it's being sold by a dealer and another £1k as this car has just had a respray and you're back to the £5k that I suggested Paul's car is probably worth. At the end of the day an '86 S2 is still an S2 and I just don't think they're as desirable as the later shape cars - look at the photos from recent meets such as Tilford and the Merry Miller and see how few S & S2 cars there are - consequently the prices for the earlier models aren't as high unless you you have an exceptional example e.g. concours condition ultra low mileage etc. |

It still needed around £2.5K spending on it to bring it upto par. Paint was fine. Have purchased another S4 in GP White instead

Hi I agree with Brett Advised PSB to go at about £8k. He thought I was mad and so put the thread on here I have seen the car, been in the car and chased the car. It goes very well indeed. Had loads of money spent on it Just needs more use. Also needs a little TLC, just like me |
