Don't think it matters TBH Jason, it's what you put in that counts.

You'll have to wait and see what replaces the current fleet there will be a Porsche in there somewhere.

I'm not convinced I'm doing the right thing with the Speedster as she will be unreplaceable but we'll see what happens.

We currently have about 40ish members who are Porscheless.

How many Speedsters in the UK Sean? Can't be many, I've only seen a few at shows & the like. Few enough to have a group meeting in a telephone box? :mrgreen:

From memory 34 right hand drive cars. True we could hold meeting in phonebox but suspect we would till have room to invite others. Not many are used regularly unfortunately. Think the most ever gathered was 13 this year max we had was 3 at Supercar Sunday
Still think Sean will struggle to part with it :lol:

My son still refers to mine as his inheritance :!:

Blimey I thought it went into 3 figures but obviously not!
Wonder who the above refers to? :mrgreen:

Refers to virtually all of the owners im afraid. Just heard of one with 568 ! miles on clock. Still try to get them together but James Kirk and Sean are the most active
Production did go into around 1000 cars but most LHD . Total max of 65(ish) RHD some in Japan/ Australia and other RHD states . Hence i guess why people are reluctant to use, that and they leak in the rain!!!!

Sean Smallman · **Posted:** Wed Oct 22, 2008 5:02 pm

Leak in the rain your joking :shock:

That's it she's definately got to go.

On the numbers front, 64 rhd cars came to the UK out of a world wide production run of around 2100. Most were 930 wide bodied and around 160 were narrow.

This looks absolutely fantastic! Just debating selling bits of my body for medical science to buy it! :twisted:

I think the GMUND car sold within hours of posting . Andrew Nearns put details on another forum saying how all he had done was polish and photograph on the Thursday and sold Friday morning. So keep, your limbs and save for Sean's :lol:
