A little more 997.2 porn, this is my 2011 Black edition Carrera 2
Ouch, that is nice. That'll be worth big pennies and not heard of the Black Edition so there's probably even more value in that.

The Black edition was a run out limited edition model right at the end of the 997.2 production; as the plaque shows there were just 1911 produced and sold worldwide; it is a standard 3.6 Carrera 2 with the addition of a good selection of desirable extras such as heated seats, cruise control, Turbo II alloys and sports crono, mine has the PDK gearbox.Ouch, that is nice.

I bought her in December last year as a retirement present after following the market for more than two years, I initially missed out on two other cars then this one came up for sale at a very competitive price so I put a deposit on her within fifteen minutes of the advert appearing; she has only covered 35,000 miles with three previous owners and a full main dealer service history, she is one of just 3 registered on the 911UK forum. I took her to the recent Beaulieu Simply Porsche 2021 meeting and she was the only Black edition 911 present. Here is a gorgeous modified 964 that was also there on the day for lovers of older 911s

I have, of course, and in Italy come up with a range of 50,000 - 70,000 Euros. But these are asking prices, and in Italy. I just thought that, since there are some on PFM who are frequently buying and selling they might have some idea of UK prices, as I said just out of curiosity, and price trends up or down, off the top of their heads. I had no wish to delegate internet donkey work.

As an antidote to the stream of not-very-old Porsches, any excuse to repost a picture of the best-looking car ever...
.
Definitely a hot contender but there are others...

In general, so few cars come up for sale that if you want to sell one or get a value for insurance, just go for the highest value and see what happens. I think prices here in the U.K. are still rising.

£25-£30k seems about right but then you need £10k in reserve if the engine grenades itself and the tiptronic box is worse than the PDK.

The Triumph Stag is indeed a very handsome car, especially in that colour, and I know folks are very fond of it so I don't want to start a fight with anybody, but I have always struggled a bit with Michelotti designs - or at least the ones he did for Triumph (Herald excepted - that is a piece of pure brilliance). There is something a bit fussy about them - lots of trim, lots of brightwork and quite "busy" contours. You can see what I mean just by looking at it alongside the Fiat 124 Coupe. The Fiat has a sort of simplicity and calmness about it. Anybody else feel this?Oh yes the Stag, very pretty car and a shame to mention it without a piccy...
There was the slightly similar Fiat 124 as well...

No. I like his designs. I like the notched back theme. The GT 6 was great looking, the bonnet was proper sports car.
One unloved car is the Capri. I was talking cars with a young guy at work, he's early 20s so doesn't know the cars I grew up with. I have an A5 coupe, which he likes. I described it as "a Capri for the 90s" . He looked it up, and a Stag at my suggestion, he reckoned the Capri to be the better looking car.

I like the left -field suggestion of the Triumph Stag above but always thought the 2.5 PI the shell & concept was based-on ...a prettier,better-resolved thing. And the 2.5 PI with a straight-6 sounds fantastic (and is reliable!)
Anyway -my vote amongst 'best -looking' - whatever that means: Woolf Barnato's 'Blue Train' Bentley - not that it exists anymore, but here is a most wonderful repro:
Frankly I don't care if no one else likes it: its a most desirable thing to me, of many desirable things.

No love elsewhere for the S-Cargo, then?
How could anyone not love that? And for the rubber-burners there’s a clip somewhere on YouTube of one that has been fitted with a rotary engine doing just that.

The Audi A5 is a modern classic thanks to Walter de Silva. I used to have a couple of his designs - An S5 and an Alfa 156 (worst car ever lol)

I do like the quirky Nissan jobbies. Saw a Cube on the motorway yesterday, always had a soft spot for that, too. Not the Figaro, though. That’s a bit self-consciously retro for my taste.

For some reason the Audi A5 reminds me of the Rover P5 Coupe:Except an A5 won't go off the road into a ditch at the drop of a hat.
They both have a slightly ‘weighty’ look to them:
