Value my 968 Sport please

I have a 1995 Porsche 968 Sport in white with 85k miles. All discs, pads and backplates have been recently replaced, along with all engine belts, water pump and all rollers etc. Could you tell me its current value?

Mark Mcallister

The 968 Sport was a Uk-only version of the fabled Club Sport but with creature comforts like rear seats and electric windows. The Sport is one of the rarest 968s with only 121 on UK roads. At 85k miles, and in desirable Grand Prix White, I’d value it at £25k. If there’s a good service history then maybe £27k.

JCW Mini a classic?

Can you tell me if my 2004 JCW Mini might be considered a neo-classic? Might it appreciate in the not-too-distant future? This would help me consider spending real money on a revamp.

It has done 92k miles and did not come with a full service record. I have maintained it well enough but just wonder whether it is worth spending on engine tuning and a respray

Paul Sunderland

JCW Minis will be collectible in the future – they already have a solid following – but I wouldn’t go crazy reconditioning yours in the hope of a financial return because the mileage and incomplete service history will put off collectors. Sorry, I know this is not what you want to hear, but that’s the way the market is.

Cut a hole in my Mustang?

I hope you don’t think I’m a Philistine, but we have a 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt that I was considering putting a Webasto sunroof into.

We paid £23k for it 11 years ago and values don’t seem to be far from that now. It’s in regular use and was an everyday car until 2017. It has covered 80,000 mostly trouble-free miles, 72,000 in our ownership.

Gary Earp

The answer is a resounding no. Your Bullitt is really rare with just over 4000 built, and needs to stay in stock condition if its value is to be preserved. Plus sliding fabric sunroofs were never standard fitment on Mustangs and would look odd. If you really want a sunroof I’d go for a metal sliding version that was common on Fords of this era.
