Cheers Ess_Three, just after general details on living with them. It would be a weekend plaything and occasional blat to work thing. So circa 5K a year mileage. A C2 Manual is probably what I'd go for (maybe a Targa). Just interested in general running costs etc. My uncle uses Autofarm to look after his 60's 911 so would probably use them for servicing etc. Much as I' be happy to service it myself it would kill the value.

18-22 MPG
I went through 2 sets of rears and 1 set of front tyres in 13500 miles (first set or rears in 5000 but that included 18 laps of the Ring)
Brakes for the C4S were £1000 for full set (discs + pads, F + R). C2 + C4 a bit cheaper - genuine discs + DS2500 pads.
Services about £300/£500 alternating. The 4 yearly about £800.
Bushes don't seem to wear.
Interiors last not too bad...but seat bosters scuff and can look shabby...none too modern, but functional and hard enough wearing.
Insurance reasonable next to tuned hot hatches.
The best advice I can offer is to use it...leaving it sitting for long periods lets the seals dry out and oil leaks appear.
For me it would have to be a Coupe, Manual, 3.6...and PSM (Porsche Stability Management) or PSE (Porsche Sports Exhaust - epic!!) as an option if possible.
Targa is just wrong...weight in the wrong place...with that engine out back, the last thing you need is more weight up top.
Sports seats are good if you are of a smaller frame - they are too small for me.
Standard seats don't look much...but hold you well.
Sat Nav etc all outdated now...so don't pay more for it.
Bose is worth having.
Sports Chassis too (-20mm)...if you are lucky enough to find one.
