The car we see here, a Wimbledon Green 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe, comes with a high degree of excitement along with some annoyance. The excitement comes from the color. These are the sorts of cars we are always thankful Porsche produced. Unfortunately, this seller has chosen to provide only 2 pictures of the car’s exterior. Yeah. So we’ll have to go by the possibilities. This 964 should be about as pristine as a second-hand 911 can get given that it has not even traveled 9K miles, and the few pictures we do see show a car in excellent shape. Wimbledon Green (along with some other lighter greens) is one of the few colors where I strongly prefer a black interior. I really like the contrasting darkness the black provides and on the car here the interior looks in particularly good condition and is very capable of providing that contrast. We have been coming across quite a few extremely low mileage 911s lately perhaps owing to the market increases we’ve seen and owners hoping to see just how much value they can get for their collectibles.

If you want to get a good sense of how the confluence of low mileage and a rare color can come together to drive market value this car provides an excellent case study. Outside of the ridiculously low mileage and the Wimbledon Green paint this is a fairly standard Carrera 2, albeit one from the final year of 964 production. Yet bidding here sits at $80,100 and the reserve is unmet. Needless to say, that’s a lot of money. We love these sorts of colors on a 911 here at GCFSB, but would you want to buy this car knowing it had to stay parked? Hopefully someone with more than enough money decides not to care about the mileage premium and puts some miles on this one, as unlikely as that may be.

I love the car. I offered them $80k before the eBay bidding was there and they passed without a counter. I figured it was a long shot but WTF.
