997 GT3 RS Gen 2. They're going through roof at present with the 991 both having engine issues and the older ones being PDK only.
I know of one with ~3.5k on the clock that lives in a garage only coming out for the occasional blast that the owner was considering selling... pretty sure he was testing the water @ £140k...
993's are on the up as well... hardly surprising seeings as they look so fucking cool IMO haha

Never heard this? I assume the GT3 runs the same lump as the RS? Pretty sure it's never had any problems - to be fair it's driven fairly hard (never redlined - apparently Porsche can plug the car in to verify and won't market cars that have seen the redline more than 3 times or something?) but done such little mileage, regularly serviced etc it may be that. Odd

Yeah ivd heard that, talking to one of the salesmen I know well a few months back, any porsche they get on trade in will get plugged into and if it's been redlined they won't touch it.
997 GT3 spent moe time with its engine out, luckily it was all under warranty but they couldn't fix the problem and they took it back

Ahh I didn't know it was all Porsche's... interesting to know. I just figured it was becase the GT3/RS units were so high revving they're on the limit as they are - makes sense though to be fair.
I heard the post 993 911's had problems and had work done behind their owners backs (e.g. the car would go for a service and come out with a new gearbox bcause the old one had problems) but I know some cars just keep going back for the same issues - my old mans Leon FR had two steering racks and a new alarm unit in its 4 years with us...

Tvrs seem to have stabilised a bit for now I think.
Older porkas seem to be going mental, but already cost a lot.
Depends how much you want them to appreciate as well. I think possibly an Aston DB7 v12, Lotus Elise, maybe a maseratti of some sort, any of the alfa v6 models and possibly even the bmw z3 will start to go up in price.

I'm no expert, but I'd be looking for something that isn't that expensive currently.
993's are high-ish but I can't see them increasing masses, same with CSL's, they're already at a premium price.

993's are big money, 996's are going up, a car that was 12-15k 5 years ago is now a 20k car.
Lotus Elises are going the same way, holding money well.
Look at the formula of a car, those that arent mass produced and were a bit special will hold there money ie. CSL, Clio V6, Exige, GT3 etc. These Corsa Special Editions, they could sky rocket....

Clio V6 maybe, but that formula doesn't always work, look at Rover BRMs! I say Rover because old Rovers fetch decent money.
