Oh how I wish I had $279,000, or a space to actually drive it

I just hope it doesn't fall into the hands of someone who cannot drive it, or who will likely scrap it for something more "modern", that would make me really mad

Totally agree, what's with listing it as an 80s Porsche Turbo? Don't they know about saved searches? That's kinda insane...

On another note, and because I am a little lazy to check myself, can anybody confirm if all of the original CTRs were finished in Yellow, and therefore Yellowbirds?

I don't think they were. I think the thing was, was that when unknown magazine roadtested it and it blitzed everything they had previously tested, that particular model was canary yellow. And the weather was cloudy, so it looked really conspicuous and the nickname stuck after that.

I could be wrong, like.

Over 206,000 members. All we need to do is get a couple dollars from each person and we're set.


I call first drive though.

I wonder if they will accept monopoly money.

I can give them 279,000 Zimbabwean dollars.

I think I've got 50 pence knocking about somewhere...
