Super rare 911 for sale, a 964 Carrera 4 Lightweight, 1 of 20 made. It's a strange car, really, and I'm not even sure why Porsche ever made it. The cars were never given typical 17 digit VINs, but rather codes “964 XXX” with the last 3 digits being unique to each of the 20 cars, which might suggest it was intended for competition use.

This car was developed using the technology from the 953 rally car and the 959 and I would guess they made it to showcase the performance capability on loose surface competitions and they never actually went racing officially, but I think some of the cars were used in competition (including 1 in the U.S. used in the Mt Washington Hill Climb, which is neat) privately. Think of it as a 964 Carrera RS or Cup car with four wheel drive.

Listed at over $1 million USD here. This particular car looks to be in very good shape and it only has 325 miles on it! Crazy these 911 prices, huh?

That outlet always has some interesting 911s for sale; some really high prices as well. $1.5 Million for a previous 993 GT at one point.

The site has some very good stuff (from any manufacturer, not just Porsche of course), I believe the ridiculous $2.4 million 993 GT2 went on that site too but I can't recall.

Such as this ridiculously clean 964 Turbo with ONLY 736 miles on it. No price listed, but it's going to be over a million I would bet. I can't say that I've ever seen a Turbo with wood trim interior bits.

This caught my eye browsing tonight: 1993 Venturi 260 Transcup, chassis #11 of 17 built with only 137 miles.

This is a bit interesting considering not only are Venturi sales rather rare, but they're also typically their race cars. And this being a model that pre-dates GT2 that brought the brand to a bigger light, although the 260 model appears to have been the brand's biggest success being built from '89-'96.

No list price given, but I'm going to assume maybe around 100,000GBP just given the delivery mileage? There is another '90 260 model that had 60 examples made & 50,000 miles for 54,000GBP.

Great find 👍

I remember these from back in the day - very highly regarded by the motoring press - but I've never seen one on the road.
 
Rare 1955 Jaguar XK140 with unique coach-built bodywork sells at auction for €365,500. Not bad considering its not an official Jaguar job nor is it in good condition. Would love to see what it looks like when it's fully restored.

The Telegraph
A tatty Jaguar XK140 found in a Belgian barn in April has sold at auction in Monaco for €365,500, roughly ten times its original estimate.

Built as a standard XK140 in 1955, the car was involved in an accident in 1957 in which its factory bodywork was nearly completely destroyed. It was subsequently rebuilt by famed Italian coachbuilder Giovani Michelotti, who created a one-off Jag with unique styling.

While the car is in need of full restoration, it's clear that the high-waisted fastback styling and rakish, muscular silhouette are quite unlike the Jaguar as it first left the production line. Its front end is particularly progressively styled, previewing (coincidentally) the XJ-S models for which Jaguar became known two decades later.

Internally, the car retains much of its original XK140 mechanicals, though its engine borrows heavily from the C-Type. Experts assume that the 1957 crash that damaged the coachwork also affected the engine, and that the broken XK140 components were replaced with competition parts from the same era.

The result is a completely unique British sports car with a fascinating history. It was offered for sale by Bonhams at the historic Villa la Vigie, overlooking Monte Carlo and the Côte d'Azur, on Friday evening. Proceeds from the sale will go to the Animal Rescue Centre in Ghent.

"Establishing the value of a barn find is always difficult, especially when it has unique attributes such as this one," said Bonhams spokesperson Poppy McKenzie Smith. "The total achieved for the car yesterday illustrates the fact that collectors remain keen to acquire rare and interesting projects.

"We are delighted with the result, particularly as the sale of this lot supports an animal welfare charity in the vendor's native Belgium."

This is probably as close as you'll ever get to owning a C-X75.

It's currently listed for 1.25m GBP, & is one of the former stunt cars for Spectre. There are no interior shots, but this car was spotted in the last few months at a show. Shame no one got any closer than this.

I believe they made 4 "production" spec cars which were fully functional, but I don't know how many are still in JLR's hands. I've seen the blue one with a cream interior and it's a stunning thing; if that is a full fledged CX-75 and not one of the V8 stunt mules then it's quite a bargain.

I've read Jaguar kept 2; the blue w/ cream car & an example that was resprayed orange for Spectre for the scene when its first shown with the other supercars.

This car is one of the mules that was resprayed at some point, as shown by the racing-inspired steering wheel. It shares a lot of the interior bits, so it definitely appears to look as nice as the "production" cars, but to my understanding, the mechanics are way different. The V8 as you mentioned along with a manual transmission, rally-based suspension, different chassis etc.

I would imagine if any of the originals come up for sale, they'll probably be worth at least $3,000,000. It's almost a bit surprising that the ones JLR didn't keep were supposedly auctioned off, but there's no major info on what they sold for unless JLR handled it themselves and kept all sales private.
 
That's a beautiful car in Guards Red. My first thought, as well, is that the price is actually pretty reasonable for the S in that color and mileage.

And by reasonable, I mean relative to other air-cooled 911s these days. :lol:
