Getting back into the blog flow for 2019 was not helped by the failure of my much-loved Macbook Pro last week. If you know someone who can pull email folders from an encrypted SSD with a damaged operating system, drop me a line. Apple鈥檚 Support team say it can鈥檛 be done but a local data recovery place managed to get 300GB of data off the drive this morning. Sadly no email folders as yet, but some clever person must exist who can do this. Anyway, while I was off-blog waiting for a new Macbook Pro to arrive, we had some notable Porsche sales with lots of interesting data: more of this later. 654,000) for the privilege of owning a 150-mile example. Half a million pounds for a Sport Classic will leave a lot of people scratching their heads. Yes it is rare, and this was low mileage, and prices at the first Porsche sales of the year are often a little bit barmy, but that sort of money buys a lot of Porsche alternatives that can be driven.
Odds are this purchase was to bolster an already substantial collection. What is a Sport Classic? First shown at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Porsche 911 Sport Classic was one of several limited edition models built on the Gen 2 997 platform (Speedster being another). An upgraded 3.8-litre engine with Power Kit equipped the car with over 400 horsepower to offer to the road gods through a six-speed manual transmission. The 250-unit Sport Classic edition also featured Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and PASM as standard. Several styling features set the Sport Classic apart. These included a Double-Dome roof, a ducktail engine cover and that evergreen Sport Classic Grey paint. The wheels were replica Fuchs (cast in a factory in Italy if memory serves). The Fuchs people told me that they were a bit ticked off that genuine forged Fuchs alloy wheels were not part of the recipe for maximum Sport Classic authenticity and that it was all down to price. I was not that enthralled by the Sport Classic when it first came out and didn鈥檛 chase a test drive. However wide of the mark that replica was, at least the owner drove it for a few thousand miles, which is more than the owner of the nigh-on brand new Sport Classic sold by RM Sotheby鈥檚 did. With just 150 miles on the clock, the car had been stored in California all of its life, so was offered in pristine condition. 654,000 including premium: a figure which made at least three people very happy. If you were thinking you might fancy a Sport Classic some time, you are probably not one of the three.

The steering wheel control function also enhances the driving safety to a great extent.
The Volkswagen Touareg SUV鈥檚 engine lineup is set to expand soon with the introduction of a new petrol engine. Like the diesel alternatives, the new model will send its power through all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox. A package which combines air suspension and rear-wheel steering - as used by VW Group cousins the Audi Q7 and Bentley Bentayga - is available as an option. The Touareg is offered in three trim levels: SE L, R-Line and R-Line tech. Standard equipment includes 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated front seats trimmed in leather all round, and adaptive cruise control. The 鈥業nnovision Cockpit鈥? which combines a 12-inch digital instrument panel with a huge 15-inch infotainment screen, is standard on the top-spec R-Line Tech and an option priced up to 拢2,510 on other models. The V6 petrol will go on sale in the first half of 2019, with deliveries due by the end of the year. While UK prices for the new petrol are yet to be announced, in the Dutch market VW has confirmed a starting figure of a few hundred Euros more than the 282bhp diesel, so expect to pay from around 拢52,000 here. Would you consider a petrol SUV?
