Ok, so Henry will be going to market.
My hunt for a lower miles, 997.1 or possibly a 2 is on.
Wish list.
997.1 C2 Coupe.
2004-2005 ( don't want the higher tax bracket)
Max 60,000 miles.
Blue/Red/Grey/Silver
Black or dark red Interior (Would consider grey or sand?)
Sports seats.
3.6 or possibly 3.8 but with reputable re build.
Manual.
Cruise
Lobster claw wheels ( others considered of course)
Because this will be my daily driver, it needs to be mechanically sorted, so even if there's a wee bit of fettling needed with the body or interior, it'll still get me to work ......... and back.
As well as daily duty, I do enjoy the odd blatt around the Welsh or Scottish roads, I'll probably fit a sports exhaust and possibly lower the car slightly.
If I can stretch to a Gen 2, is it worth it? I guess I need to drive one eh?
For the right money, I'd consider a Cat D. Is that madness?
Any advice or opinions very welcome.
I've thought long and hard about re building Henry's engine but because he's a daily, I think I'll just be chasing my tail with repairs as he heads towards the 200,000 mile mark. If he were a weekender, no problem but that feeling of being on the M6 and wondering if the alternators about to give up or the water pump, or the whatever is just too stressful.
167,000 miles, pampered, honest, cherished, fettled and regularly used and loved 996 C2, soon to hit the market place.
Look forward to this lovely forums thoughts.
Rich.
