Good to have it back!
Been a while since I've posted here - just been busy with other stuff.... Hope all is good.
We moved last year to a lake house with much less garage space & I had to send my 951 over to my trusty mechanic, eniac for some necessary repairs (both rear axels) and winter storage in his welcoming and warm shop. A busy travel/work schedule meant that it stayed there until a few weeks ago & sat again for a couple of weeks in my garage.
Today I had some time to relax and take out a few of the cars for a good run... I can't explain how much I missed driving this car. Such a unique experience, yet still utterly Porsche. I drove it just after taking my 993tt for a run and didn't miss any seat of the pants thrill that the 993 has in spades. A well sorted/modified 951 is such a great car.
I also started to think about the difference in value between my 993tt and 951 given the recent spike in air cooled values. In comparison, a well sorted and modified 951 should be considered a relative bargain - they have such an amazing balance and the spool/wastegate/exhaust noises only add to the experience.
Great cars...
I can't imagine selling mine - such a great compliment to the 993tt and 67 911.

Thanks for the comments.
George - my 951 is Nile Green which does look blue/grey at certain angles.
Here's another couple of pictures of the 67:
