Working on a classic Porsche insurance value for a friend’s 924 Carrera GT the other day, it occurred to me that the last time I had a chat about GT and GTS values was with 924 superfan, Derek Bell, in the car park at the Goodwood Kennels while writing a feature on his Porsche 928 Club Sport for Porsche World magazine.

Endurance superstar Derek famously owns a red 924 Carerra GTS (above), given to him by Porsche, and driven back to the UK in legendary style with the late Russell Bulgin alongside. I had a quick look at prices online and send DB a short email reminder to check the agreed insurance value for the car, as who knows where they might stop in the current climate. I included a link to a 924 Carrera GTS that’s been for sale at Freisinger for a while, priced at €80k.

I got a speedy reply, assuring me he was up to date on 924 values and noting one sale at over £100k! I wondered if he meant USD but for sure adding in the provenance would take values for his own car to a whole other level.

Is your classic Porsche insurance value up to date? Contact me if you want some help: used car market values are my specialist subject. Do not put this off!
