Porsche 911 50th Anniversary 911 - solid investment ?

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

I hope you liked my video, thanks for watching and please feel free to subscribe👉 kzbin.info

[@1stefritter1]

I just bought one, same colour, 30k kilometers. My third 911 and the most stylish, by a mile, Living in Switzerland, the roads are excellent and the mountains are my playground. It doesn't get any better.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Stafan congratulations and enjoy those amazing roads

[@TheHennes36]

This is my absolute favourite Model from my favourite brand! Luckily i am currently the proud owner of the Graphite Grey one - however its 1:18 scale ;) will consider myself very lucky if I own any Porsche sometime, definitely a big goal for me - This car though will most likely remain a Dream 😁

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

TheHennes36 here's hoping you one day can own one - Roger

[@shaunking2375]

cool dude roger :-)) these 50th anniverasies seem bullet proof financially and look superb, another great video

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

cheers Shaun 😎

[@Pedro-rx2jd]

they went up to over 100k then settled a bit

[@geofo60]

Nothing to add from me Roger expect to say I would love to own it too ! Absolutely beautiful in every way. Thanks for sharing.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

cheers Geof 👍

[@Pedro-rx2jd]

you are such a cool guy Roger Bailey, no really, you create the best videos about cars, and get better with each new production, keep going.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

comments like yours keep me going

[@frasermacleod7642]

Fantastic video Roger. What a totally stunning car, It just looks so amazing and the wheels are so perfect and really do set the car off. Definitely a very cool and amazing 911.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

cheers Turbo Mac - good hearing from you

[@nicktaylor8767]

Nice one “Roger” I like the way you presented the car and particularly the video shots ( love the aerial view crossing the canal) It’s nice to see a car like this being driven in the real world! Lastly keep up the good work people like you and “Harry” are my kind of presenters oh and yes I’ll race you to buy it Lol😎

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Cheers Nick, its still for sale last time I looked

[@gridrunner1319]

The USA versions also had the “Power Kit” fitted to it, for an additional 30 hp, sweet. I know, because I have a graphite grey one. Just love it...prestine, loaded with options, 5,000 miles...like new. At cars & coffee events more people come up to me than when I took my white 991 GT3, another great car. Great show... Thanks, Jim --

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks Jim, great car you have there

[@BB-ii3or]

You only have 6k subscribers how can this be? Rodger this is the best car channel I've come across well done, you've demonstrated this car perfectly, I hope you are on a good commission

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks ! no not on any commissions

[@alanpalin2031]

i dont think I've ever sen one of these, it looks just right imo the black wheel cars of today just arnt elegant like this one, great video

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

I kinda agree Alan

[@jmcarbone2754]

I totally agree with you regarding the black wheel cars. With rare exceptions, I just don't like the look.

[@porschecarrera1797]

Porsche is the only manufacturer to date that measures the amount of cars they sell to keep residual prices high, its in owners best interest they do this. Nice video btw

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

good point, cheers

[@OliR__]

Bit late to the party here, but great video Roger. My dad has just bought one of these, with the houndstooth interior, lovely thing. It’s the one car I hope he never gets rid of! I’m due to take delivery of a 718 GT4 in December so it will be very interesting to compare the two.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks ! your dad has a brilliant car there as will you, two quite different driving experiences.

[@robertmarr8991]

Love everything about this car.I would have this in a heartbeat if I had the money.Cheers from Tasmania(Australia).

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

I would visit Tasmania in a heartbeat too if I could ! cheers !

[@seandenny1553]

I got the 2014 911 S convertible and I agree it’s the perfect sports car for the rest of my life thanks for doing the videos

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

the 991.1 is ageing very well, thanks

[@rbpoolsinc2556]

I have the geizer gray, only one I have kept this long. Had a min of 15 Porsches. Incl '89 speedster, '96 twin turbo, and a bunch of 993

[@tomcraig8027]

Well filmed Roger and a stunning looking car.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks tom

[@kurtpatterson18]

Know that little bridge over the canal very well; that was my route into Chester when I worked there for a few months. Nice roads around that neck of the woods... Plus, another brilliant video - keep up the great work! 👍

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

cheers Kurt, yes it's a nice part of the world

[@exgunnerdaz]

Ooh Roger suits you sir..beautiful car beautiful vid.

[@superchargedsteve3411]

I absolutely adore the 50th anniversary edition 911 and it's been my dream Porsche since 2014. But as you mention here, the values really haven't come down much and they are hard to find. I finally pulled the trigger on a 2017 991.2 Carrera S and going to pick it up next weekend in Texas! I finally own my dream car 😎❤

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

991.2 S is a great car Steve

[@RvsjtW-eq8st]

One car for the rest of your life? 100% agree. It’s got all the poke you need and like a buddhist meditation garden inside. Great video that really captures how special these are ❤

[@carpediem393]

Lucky to own it with Graphite Gray/Pepita combination. Tony Hatter did a great job designing it the way it is. Nothing more nothing less.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Couldn't agree more!

[@deans7395]

Brilliantly delivered Roger and smoothly announced information .

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

cheers Dean

[@jedmorrow106]

thanks for showing this, not one I've thought of before now I'm searching through autotrader

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

look no further than Porsche Chester, this ones still there :-)

[@jedmorrow106]

nice one

[@marksherrington8262]

Loved the video. And yes I just bought the car. Identical to the one in the video but the check seats. I've been lucky enough to have had a few 911's (every model from 1971 911 2.4T to 2018 991.2 GTS) but this is my favourite. It is as you say understated cool but for me the dog-tooth check seats are a must, just completes the Retro feel. Prices are way over 100k now and I think will go further. However, that is irrelevant as I won't be selling this one. Even if you can't get hold of the 50th edition any 991.1 S (or GTS) is the goldilocks 911 of the air cooled/pre-turbo era as the 993 4S was for the air-cooled.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

excellent purchase mark, the 50th is a fine wine, I loved my too short a day in this one.

[@roydevans]

Another belting video Roger, would have a manual with houndstooth in a heart beat 👌

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Thanks very much Royd yes hounds tooth & manual would be perfect

[@sbaudert]

Very cool. I reckon you should do a video on a rare limited edition Boxster next. The 2008 RS60 Spyder. Small touches also made this 1 of 1960 cars very special. Just make sure you test a manual....

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

sbaudert I like your idea, I just need to find one !

[@realleescoggins]

Nicely done Roger. There is a white 50th at Merit Partners here in Atlanta as well.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks Lee appreciated, white 50th now that will be worth seeing

[@conkgord]

a beautiful car. i recall seeing 1 in my local porsche dealer belfast and it was a cream colour. so was this a PTS colour of maybe a LHD model.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

a lot of them were that cream colour, other standard colours were black and this grey colour

[@erictaylor4129]

Lovely. I'm an original owner of a 911-50 Geyser Gray with PDK. For this configuration 0-60 is accomplished in 3.8 sec (manufacturer claim) with a top speed of 187.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

you have a gorgeous car there Eric

[@NetMillionaire]

Excellent review I love 911! And this made me want another but I love my Bentley too much?????

[@jonathanbrisman2025]

Do you happen to know how much of each color were manufactured?

[@louismarcus4694]

Tasteful video. I own #443 (manual). Fun watching the wheels in motion.

[@richardcatchlove9115]

Only thing that spoils this one. The 50th had herringbone inserts in seats as standard with full leather as no cost option. This has full leather and takes value off against those with herringbone.

[@stephenwarren8671]

You should seriously consider buying this 50th 911 edition. Nice lines and the wheels are nice too

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

I'm thinking about it Stephen !

[@FreddyKuenen]

Great video and I love the car 👍

[@Johnmcs1]

Beautiful car, pity it wasn't specced with the Sports Plus seats, it's the only thing I would say is wrong with the spec. (I have similar seats in a Boxster and the Sports Plus in the 911 and there is a massive difference in comfort.) I think Sports Plus on the Chrono Pack is too much for the road, Sports mode is a lot better for that. Good video, and one other thing you're correct about is the sales team in Chesire are very nice. Was there many years ago and when approached by a sales member I explained I was only there to drool and he was as nice as you could get. Chatted, offered coffee and told me to work away and that most cars were open. You don't get that in attitude in many places.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Good points about the seats & sports plus, and yes the coffee flows freely at Chester !

[@neptune45]

Does anyone know how many were sent to USA. Thanks.

[@quonsetthehutt3105]

Every 911 is tasteful retro...

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

great point

[@oeiras99]

I'm waiting for 2064. 100th anniversary 911 will be worth waiting for. But what will propel it?

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Just for a few seconds, I thought you'd hired the new James Bond for the start of your video :-))... Then you took off your sunglasses... And the illusion was shattered... :-))... That grey colour looks stunning on this 911. And the wheels!! In white?? I thought at first "nah! That's the wrong colour." But they just brilliantly add to the appearance too. Lovely car RB. Lovely car. Though I have a question. When is the "Blonde Stalker" (Stalker No2, I hasten to add!) going to be doing the driving again? From your "still" No1 Stalker :-))...

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

hey TZ stalker 1. good to see you stopping by, Blondie took the day off but will return !

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

@@RogerBaileyOnCars - Given the day off!? Slavery just isn't like it used to be :-))... EDIT - I just "spent" £ 137,984.00 on the Porsche UK website building my new 992 Carrera 4S. Not sure why, but Carmine Red spoke to me for the body colour!! 🤔

Very poetic Roger if I may say so. Amazing how that Porsche looks like new. Shows the quality of the product I guess. Truly a magnificent machine. So... did you buy it? Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

cheers Jon, I haven't bought it !

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

This is the best modern 911 ever. Much better than the 2020 version.

[@74aamer]

Roger Bailey Thankyou would you go for one

[@sd2002]

Nice video, I enjoy most of your video. Do you think your 718 Spyder will hold it is value as well? And Why? Also how would you compare the 911 speedster vs 718 Spyder? How much of the speedster experice yiu get from the Spyder? 50%? More? Less? Thank you for your great work

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Thanks, values are unpredictable right now with high value car prices lessening, as for speedster v spyder well spyder is simpler fun while speedster gives more of everything

[@michaeljohncooper]

Can you please do a review of the GT3 Touring?

[@allans911]

Nice one Roger

Very Nice and Informative Video; yet where are the Best Places to Google to find these cars ? Additionally, what is your take on the PDK vs the Manuel Shifting transmission on the 50th Anniversary 2014 Porsche 911, ... Thank You, Jim G Phoenix, Arizona.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Porsche approved car system might find a 50th but they are rare, I would think the manual box would suit it well.

You’re in a fantasy land. I’ve owned 911s for the last 30 years and in the last 15 years all of my water cooled models depreciated like a stone. You can buy a pampered 911/996 for $20k USD.

you're buying the wrong models my friend

[@norbertwangnick8356]

I own one of the 987 Boxster Spyders and love every bit of it. Porsche does a great job coming up with all kind of limited edition variations and people buy them for that reason. But, I’m thinking they are overdoing it. “Last of its generation” here, ltd. edition there, and a while later, another unforeseen upgrade shows up. The latest example is the 4.0 GTS, which makes the buyers of the 718 look like fools and disappoints the people who bought the “last 6 cylinder Boxsters” from not too long ago. And if you look closer, the limited numbers are really not that limited. I always like to compare the 911 Speedster (1948 built) with a ridiculous premium price, to the Alpina brand. Alpina builds a really low number of models, (less than those Porsche numbers) with outrageous performance and much better practicality, at a much better price point. Absolutely love my “worldwide only 1100” 200 mph 600 HP 4WD Alpina B6 (

Liked your video, I have a 60th Club Coupe, basically the same car (power kit and wide body, PTS color) except the Club Coupe is badged as a GTS and has the the Sport Design package (Ducktail) our PCA club owners who own the 50th anniversary are proud owners and feel the same way you do about this limited edition 991.1

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Rene' sounds like you have a special car there, you got me googling !

[@jaytucker4338]

@Roger Bailey You know I agree that the 50th 991 is a pretty cool car....it is not the 'Coolest Porsche". I think the 997.2 Sport Classic or a well done PTS GT3 would probably get my vote for that honour. But the 911 50th is, no doubt, an amazing and beautiful 991! The wider rear end from the 4S, those retro-style gauges and the hounds-tooth ('Pepita') seat inserts are each particularly special touches. Personally, I could do without all of the chrome bright-work bits that the Zuffenhauseny crew threw on. Q: While watching your video I noted (2:31) that the vehicle you took out didn't seem to have the third radiator. ":c 0 > kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6PCYoCJedyaecU. You will see at 8:19 the central cutout for the third radiator.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks for the interesting point about the third radiator, I believe this car did have the power kit, the UK is usually pretty cold of course !

[@SponzoTV]

Nice one Roger. Question: Are thoose wheels exclusively for the 50’th anniversary only?

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

cheers Sponzo I believe the wheels exclusive to the 50th

[@LearningFast]

Aren’t those the wheels off of a Volkswagen Beetle?

[@albertbrooklyn]

I have never owned a Porsche that held it's value. The sales ambassadors wax lyrical about the Porsches I would buy about them either holding their value or appreciating, that is, until it's time to sell them then they chant the high mileage mantra......I sold three with 7500, 3500 and 4800 miles........that doesn't seem high to me.

Nice production! However for that amount of dream cashflow, id much rather prefer to buy a new 2020 luxuary equipped Porsche. Off course definetly no SUV. But perhaps a Panamera. Just because i have a big hunch the comfort must be something else. It must have some kind of DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) like my GTI have right? Have you tried the Panamera? Any opinions..?

Looks like another product of the Porsche marketing department to me, especially as they all seem to be PDK which is not very retro at all and for a Porsche road car harks back to all of 2009

[@oldsoulboy6483]

You are correct that sadly most buyers specced it with a pdk but the manual was available and those cars are very rare and generally worth £10-15k more. It is strange how all Porsche dealers tell buyers to spec a pdk because they say that a manual will limit it's re-sale appeal.
