Unobtainium gate 2

While I sympathise with Roger Willatt and David Tysall (Inbox, evo 230) on the wisdom of including in ecoty cars that are essentially impossible to buy, the reality is that even if Porsche were to build the 911 R in unlimited numbers, for most of us its availability would remain moot.

We will never be able to buy an exotic like that. In fact many of us couldn’t even stretch to a cooking 911, a car so widely available I’m surprised it hasn’t made an appearance on First Dates.

I appreciate that there are evo readers for whom the magazine functions as a brochure for their next purchase, but for 90 per cent of us, reading about and looking at such cars is a purely academic experience, pure entertainment. So the Porsche 911 R is as available to us as it ever could be. Andrew Hatcher, London
