Hatch and Sons will have some very clean examples. They are considered to be high end only so a private sale price may be out of the question from them. I recently saw a few Porsches there including a 964 turbo.

This is the link to their site.

Hey Welcome to the US...... North Yorkshire lad here..... from Richmond.

Stay in Touch... I am only about 40 mins north of Boston in Portsmouth New Hampshire.

Maybe we can sup down an ale or two.. I have a good source for Theakstons and Blakcsheep!

Best Regards,
Paul

Sorry Paul and Alfie, I havn't got in touch, (went to the Cape for a couple of days). The vehicle is actually for my wife's sister so she doesn't know exactly-I've suggested a 993 as I know how she drives -Myself and the wife drive a polar silver 964 C2 (manual). Surprised how few porsche I saw, makes them more appealing though. I was also surprised how few people keep to the speed limit and I was driving a hire car (Mazda 6) and was not surprisingly quite cautious. If you send me contact details, I will try to meet up next time I'm over

sincerely

Jeff

P.S: why does it not show me as a member

You didn't say what you were looking for. Dave Maynard at http://www.europeanlocators.com/ (in Natick just outside of Boston) might be an excellent resource for you. He's extremely knowlegeable, a long time PCA member and a really nice guy.

If you're looking for an older car pre-96 you might try checking around with the independent Porsche mechanics in the area. They have contact with a lot of the earlier cars and theres always one or two for sale that they know of. These guys have websites, they might be worth contacting to see if there are any customer cars for sale.
