Hi.
I've just fulfilled a long term dream and bought a very low mileage 1994 993 from Hexagon.

I'm also considering buying a 997 to pair with the 993. The plan is to put max 1.5 to 2k Miles pa for next 15 years as these are just something to put some money that's more exciting than an ISA or leave in the bank.
I've owned 996 GT3's and GT2's before and especially on track massively preferred the feel of the GT3 as so much more engaging than the Turbo GT2.
I'm looking at either the manual GTS or have seen this manual Turbo both with low mileage and wondered what the general consensus is about both from a long term desirability perspective ?

I was shocked by just how much 993 Turbo's are now compared to NA cars so was interested whether the 997 Turbo values may do this over the long term.
Or am I better to stick to a 997 GT3????

If so is there any difference in desirability in Gen 1 vs Gen 2 GT3's as they both have the Mezger engine which I think please correct me if wrong hasn't suffered same issues as Gen 1 non GT 997's
Thanks for any advice.
