Glad to see my old car is being cared for and enjoyed! Still miss her but a mint 3.6 t is good compensation!

Change exhaust system – I’ve decided to replace as original but S/S system. Engine a g/box will be cleaned and the cooling fan/ housing will be bead blasted and then coated.
I don’t want a garage queen but will improve the detail while I can. Don’t worry if you think I’m nuts just say so or indeed any suggestions are welcome – I’ve waited a long time for this and fully intend to enjoy the experience good and bad, for me that’s as simple as it gets.

It seems to me that there’s a been an increase of interest around the 930 over the last 12/18 months in the UK but feel sure you will get a good one towards the higher end of your budget.
As always my advice would be to ensure you have a full PPI before you purchase via a reputable specialist, I would also include compression and leak down tests. Just remember to have some budget left over for service and incidental costs.
I have to say it’s the best/most fun you can have with your clothes on!
