The next chapter begins! Picked up an 07 997 C4S, manual, non-sunroof, 52k kms, ex-UK. Interior is extremely tidy, corrosion after a thorough inspection is largely limited to exhaust - it's c-r-u-s-t-y! Needs a sports exhaust anyway. 
This will be primarily a roadie, while I think a while on what I want to build for pure fun & track. Things are close to finalized on the 964 & will hopefully be buying back the shell. Glad to be back!

Not many GPW cars being relegated to the parts pool so no point in being a shrinking violet.

What if I make you a good deal on a door? :-)
At least the corpse is basically cold now looking forward to putting it through it's paces.
I have to agree - I kept slowly climbing the slope and didn't quite feel the value was there for the 997.2's. I'm pretty stoked - there was a C2S in black (manual though the ad said tip) on Trademe just a couple days ago for ~$62k. I'm a sucker for the widebody, though.

A few bargains to be had, especially if you are happy with ex UK cars.

Congratulations Chris. They are so nice to drive they can seduce you into being a softie, so watch out for that! Easy clutch, sensational steering and brakes, little wind noise at high speed, heaps of power and amazing handling. You could have a lot of fun "learning to drive it" at Hampton Downs chasing Steve in his. Well done and welcome back. Where's the first long drive?
First double-take I did was trying to figure out where the heat exchangers were on the manifolds for a second or two.
First fun drive might be through the Hunua's this afternoon!
