You could replace it for a RHD version.
I heard that theres a few of them available through a magazine called 911 & Porsche World.

Don't know - a rush of blood to the head??
If I get any serious offers I may sell. IF I sell, I would probably get a silver 993 6 speed. BUT, I'm not that desperate to be honest - which is a good position to be in when selling something.

I noticed no one was brave enough to give you a guess on price for your car. I'd say, even in a soft market, with low miles, it would be worth $22,000+ (possibly up to $25,000). Lower mileage should be a plus, but it might take a while longer to get top dollar for it because you are looking for just the right buyer (someone with significant cash as its tough to get a loan on a '90 model anything). Beautiful car, though.
As for selling at the right price, I've had several older cars. The time and effort it takes to find the right car and get it into the condition you want make selling a tough thing to do unless you are internally motivated. My last purchase prior to my C2 was a 1988 BMW 325i convertible. That was in 1999, and I've got no plans to sell. I paid $7,000 for it. Its not worth that still (probably $5,500 on a good day), but what could I buy for $7,000 to replace it? Same way with the C2. Its a hobby car. Too much time and effort and $ (above the purchase price) to justify selling it just for a decent price. Besides, my 7 year old and 3 year old are already fighting over who gets it when they turn 16, and I'm not getting in the middle of that one (the 3 year old is smaller, but he's got a mean streak).

You have a 92 which is good. You have a Tippy which is bad. You have a coupe which is good. You have 95K miles which may be bad if you have not had an engine rebuild. You have updated your suspension, that's good (but it may be that if you had used a complete well-known kit that you could have recouped some of that - who knows?). You have RHD which is good. Colour is OK.
On the whole, depending on condition I would say somewhere between £15.5k and £17k being the abolsute max. If you didn't have a Tip, then I think the scale would move up by £1000 or so.
All IMHO.
