Jackal's 993 up for sale at JZM

I think you've missed the point here. It's nothing to do with JZM, it's to do with the fact it was Jackal's car and the work he has carried out - fully documented on his website (I take it you didn't look at the links I posted). You're right - everything that glitters is not gold, but this car most definitely is.

JZM may sell some tat, I don't know. But what I do know is the extensive work carried out on this car to get it to the level it's at and the irrelevant spiralling cost in doing so.

Perhaps he should have asked you to sell the car?
No I don't know Jackal, I read Frederick Forsyth's book though does that count for anything?
 
Jackal stuck two fingers up at the Illuminati and as far as I know never intending joining. It's his style and as such limits the sale as you need to find someone with similar taste and view on life.

993 purists will tar and feather these 'modifications' as they don't like tinkering as a case in point there are few 993 owners on here who would take the plunge on it. On a 964 you get away with it :roll:

A lot of dough went into the car and the 'sum of the parts' is where the value is and to some extent the price listed (accepting there will be a wide spread with what it came in at especially as it would not require any work). Jackal bought a good car to start with, that unmolested and with that mileage would have made dough, but went his own way. Nowt wrong with that. :thumb:

Day of the Jackal has been loaded onto Netflix if you're interested. :grin:

Similar but different to this car at the highly respected Border Reivers in Loch Lomond (link below). This car is pretty awesome and I am amazed it has not sold, I have seen it in the flesh and its virtually beyond any kind of improvement and judging by JZMs ask its a steal, why wont people come North of the Border.

Having seen 2 cars from Border Reivers in the last year, shocking quality and very bad customer service by virtue of this thread.

997 S from Border Reivers: engine failure

Best avoided and that 993 you refer to is worth a lot less than they are asking for it.

Jackal

Much as I like Jackals car and I really like that he did loads of work himself but that usually goes against top cars. I thought you needed acres of bills from top specialists to get top dollar! I like the look of the yellow car at Border Rapists err sorry I meant Reivers. I think I will spend 3000 euros on an RS kit with carnewal and up my Insurance valuation by £25000 this year and describe it as an RS Homage :thumbs:

My experience of attempting to buy a car from them was pathetic. The owner took the hump when I asked about a car they had listed that he had decided wasnt for sale (it was marked POA!!!) He basically has since refused to let me book a time to go there. End result is that I will never buy a car from them. Overpriced and obnoxious.
 
Another yellow 993 RS Rep for sale by Heritage Autowerks - write up in this months 911 & Porsche mag, not CS spec....looks awsome.

Couple of lovely blue resto's on the front cover also....👍
 
No one can seriously compare the Border Reivers car to this - that car has a sunroof for pity's sake. Correct cage, genuine RS lump and non sunroof more than make up the price difference imo. I bet the other car doesn't have the RS uprights either. That being said, steering wheel on the wrong side for me - be interesting to see how quickly it sells as must be a tiny market for it.
 
This is a fascinating one and so hard to value.
As a massive fan of his website I really hope he gets the asking price - I assume it's sor and he would get £100k net from jzm if it fetches asking.
Where is he in terms of outlay? I think he paid £25k for the car? He must have spent £75k on it I guess? Engine must have been £25k. Valuing his own hundreds of hours of labour at zero of course. Maybe £100k is about flat.
Anyone know/did he mention what he did with the original engine? Maybe part exchanged vs the RS unit.
Great history for the buyer with about 900 photos!
for me personally it's a bit too far towards a track spec car with road tyres on and if it was a comfort RS spec it may well have sold quicker - I think he even went through that phase with the single plane RS rear spoiler so from his point of view it must be journey/project complete and as above- spends his time now in a trouble free Italian super car.....

No, but its the kind of detail that seperates it from others.

A sunroof delete is quite a major operation.

Mine has a sunroof because I actually like it, and my car is done to my needs
