Potentially FS: 993 Turbo S-spec
I'm testing the waters for my beloved 993...
'97 TT
27,000 miles
Arctic Silver/Full Can Can Red interior
Full Factory Turbo-S body (Scoops etc)
Full Factory Aero-kit II
Factory 430bhp upgrade
Factory Full Carbon Fibre Exclusive Interior
Leather sunvisors
Brand new Porsche Leather Can Can Red Recaro Sportline Seats (original seats come w/ car)
FSH
Alpine Head-unit with iPod connector (all original hi-fi components come w/car)
Immaculate condition - never resprayed or crashed
4 Brand New Pirelli P-Zeros
£72,000
Truly one-of-a-kind, and I hate to sell it. I just feel it should go to a good home - I feel guilty using it as a daily driver.

Your 993tt is a stunner! I echo the reaction: are you sure you want to do it? You say you're reticent to use it as a daily driver BUT, the fact is (i) it not only performs well as a daily driver, but (ii) you can fill your daily drives with the magic of driving a 993tt, admired by many.
I say these things because I approach the 993tt from a completely different perspective. I have a 2004 Ferrari Challenge Stradale that simply is NOT a daily driver, though each and every drive I do is filled with the magic of driving a CS, and it is admired by all. Thus, I searched for a car that could fill BOTH functions. Result: 993tt. Impression: what a perfect balance.
But perhaps there are other issues involved. Whatever your choice, best of luck!

On one hand: I even feel bad using my (pitiful by comparison) 944 Turbo as a daily driver (summer only). The sun is painful to cars, and I put on more miles than I'd like.
I understand 110% how you could feel bad driving your GORGEOUS car everyday and watching it *slowly* get a little scratch here and a little sun fade there.
On the other hand: Why in the world did my Dad ever sell his 69 Camaro, or his 66 Chevelle, or his 65 Impala, 72 Camaro race car, 99 Trans Am WS6 Race Car, 61 Apache 10 Step Side, 98 HD Fat Boy, etc..etc...etc
Now, consider that your car is far more special/rare than any of the cars that I mentioned. Not nearly as replaceable.
