I am sure it was $110K when i saw it ?? - i took notes - but did not take a screen grab

did anyone happen to get the numbers on it and whether it has a non matching E engine or a matching T engine that had been converted by Phil Hearn to E MFI specs

Phil Hearn should have all the details on his computer as he records all this stuff against the car and client.

Yes when I looked at it in May 2014 when the buyer was paying the deposit. Numbers were ;
Vin 9113511003 Eng 6531978
From memory I do not believe it had a paint I/d tag and it needed a good clean up and a bit of r removal.
I found the old ad it was $43,500 with a RWC

I'm so depressed & not really enjoying my 901 love anymore...I can see no upside in the recent price increases at all !! Cars are moving from enthusiast to collector, from racetrack to heated warehouse and I'm too scared to trade any spare parts for fear of never being able to buy them back again.....I wonder if Ferrari owners felt this way 20-30 years ago ?

I liked it when we were an odd minority....

Cheers

Spot on, Matt! It's really sad because I fear that down the track 901's will become like 356's - so valuable & expensive to repair that you rarely see one on the road anymore, with owners too nervous/precious to drive them except on special occasions! It's one of the main reasons that attracted me to early 911's in the first place when I bought my '69T - the typ901 crowd seemed so much more my type of crowd than the 356 guys...

Even now that I have moved over to the dark side of G series cars, I do miss my 901 & keep dreaming up ways of getting one back in the garage one day! But I fear the prices will keep rising making it impossible...

(Although given how the prices are going on 3 Litre Carrera's, I COULD almost double my money in 18 months & cash up to buy another 901... :p ... now if I can just work out a way to have both....)

I'll have to retract the 3 times UK value estimate in my post above because for some reason or other I had in mind that the asking price was $46k. As it was $105k the car's value in the UK is more likely to be another 30% on the local asking price.
