Really like these... one just popped up for sale on TS - http://www.trackscotland.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1814
Do you think they'd be a decent investment (not making heaps of money, but not loosing and making a little over a longer term)?

I'd have one tomorrow I've always loved them. I think a good example won't lose much value.

They dont seem to dropping in price anyway.IIRC alot of them seemed to get crashed/written off etc so as long as you dont smash it,then i cant see it losing money.
Id have 1.

Awesome looking, Performance isnt great imo, especially the Handling.
They seem to be going down in price still too.

wont take 40 years
Does anyone know the production no's of them?
Take 22B's for example. We looked at them seriously about 4years ago... 20k was the ballpark figure. Now your looking 22-23k.
My 30yr old 911. Price was £17,600 on orig bill of sale... prob worth 12k (i hope) now. Lost feck all in the grand scheme of things and is going up slowly (i think). And there was LOTS of the 3.0 SC's made!

Could be a decent investment, I know the R5 Turbo 2 hold decent money in good nick.

dont know about making money but if you buy for a decent price you should see your money back 
Phase 2 ones are the ones to go for iirc like the one you posted
I love them

Rubbish to drive, really unreliable, badly assembled and slow. I think that covers everything.

I took a girl out in my STi 4 a few years back and asked what she thought.
She replied with my mates Clio V6 is faster because its a smaller car and lighter

The phase 2 car is the one to have, much better to drive, but still not mind blowing performance, more of a status thing than anything else.

whats worse is that she was probably referring to a clio 1.2 with a v6 badge on it

It would be bought just as a car to have rather than a car that would be driven a lot. But anyway.... its not getting bought so

Used to see a liquid yellow (amazing colour!) around. Looked mean on the roads but wasn't overly impressive speed wise.

Belongs to a bird called Debbie who is incredibly fit!
Ohase 2's have stablised and have hovered their current prices for the past year.
