very nice collection, well played, must be a full time job keeping the servicing, MOT's, insurance and tax in order
My C2 came after my first Porsche an 89 5 speed 930, both have their unique characters and I think are excellent choices on your 'to buy' list
Some people don't get on with the 930 as it requires a bit of muscle to hustle and the turbo lag is very old skool in its power delivery so make sure you take a long test drive.

nice to see an early car make an appearance 
Now get an S spec motor on MFI built for it and you'll really see why we love these early cars
Interestingly, I've settled on my Porsche stable , it being my long term 1973 2.4S and my 1993 964 C2 .... difference being I prefer LHD
I'm also one of those who don't really enjoy the 930 , long distance tourer maybe, blasting on the moorland roads of North Yorkshire / Co Durham etc no

This transcends to everything I love. Vinyl is a good example... it's rewarding.
I like the hunt for the next album, so when I finally get it, it sounds that much better. I like listening to entire albums, each song compliments the previous one, takes you on a journey. Led Zeppelin 1 springs to mind. This is why I name my cars after my favourite girls in music...
It's too easy to download an MP3, consume a single.
The air-cooled stuff has a history, tells a story. The processes of planning, hunting, restoring, modifying and driving analog are rewarding experiences. Giving new life to something old... That moment after a blast when you step out the cabin and look at what you've created. When you know you've built your perfect car. That right there is the stuff dreams are made of to me.
Cheers,

So......I'm into the vinyl, but with a big LCD graphic equaliser to mess about with!
Look forward to the progress reports.

Hi Frank,
Really an amazing collection of significant examples of the visceral Porsche. You are such an inspiration pushing me to continue my search to return into the fold with a 964. But, just want so say thanks for sharing.

Cheers, for the kind words fellas.
Here's 'Domino', she's named after Fats Domino.
She's a 1955 Oval Window featuring a 1.9Ltr twin carb engine and Wilwood stopping power. She'll be right at home with her younger Porsche Cousins.

I was hoping you were going to post-up a pic of the Oval
!!
Saw it on the Samba a while back.
You are a very lucky man with undoubtedly great taste in cars.
Nice addition to the stable
