My first thoughts were .... £70k for a Gen1 :eek:

but after looking at that spec' and, considering it's a 1.5, and therefore one the very last Mezger Turbos it doesn't seem too bad after all.

What a beauty.

Are they actually selling at these prices? I always thought anything over £60K for these cars was crazy but prices appear to just keep going up and up.
 
I've seen the grey Ashgood turbo. Its very very clean. Mike who owns Ashgood a very nice man too.
 
I think there is a story with the ashgood car... it has been for sale for 2+ years at various dealers. It sold for around £54k two years ago. And very soon after appeared at another dealer at 70k. It passed from dealer to dealer over the following 18-20 months. Never seemingly selling to a real punter.

So what's the story?

Well no chrono... could be retro fitted for fair money and it's Achilles heel would be mended...

Service history didn't fully stack up when I seriously considered it... nothing specific just 'something' wasn't quite right.

And back then the story told by the dealer wasn't consistent. He was not a porsche dealer, just a guy who allegedly bought it to use (but under his trade name) and then needed to offload to get cash for other cars.

I do hear that ashgood is a great dealer and their cars look good but this car just appears to have a hidden past of sorts...

Good luck with your search.

Interesting. Mike told me he'd underwritten it straight from an OPC who had taken the car in px a few weeks ago.

I have no reason to doubt Mike's word. So if true then yet another person seemingly bought it and parted with it very quickly. The V5 will tell that story.

When I looked at it 2 years ago it was a 3-4 owner car.

I would have thought any OPC would love to retail a low miles gen 1.5 turbo which is straight and honest. Having a trader underwrite it seems curious.

Fab did you buy the ashgood car?

Not me, I know who bought that one. Chrono was an absolute must for me so I gave it a miss

So what did you get? I'd love to know how many owners the other one has had now...
