Good morning,
My first thread/post - and I am after some help if possible.
I am going to own a 911. It's always been my dream car and i had promised myself before I'm 50 there will be one on the driveway. I've had a couple of Boxsters before (RS60 and a 987.2S).
I'm currently driving a 2016 RS3 but can't seem to stop that itch for another Porsche. I only do around 3,000 miles a year, a few short trips a week and longer drives at the weekend.
I'm not 100% fixed on a 997.1, I have looked at a few 991's but don't see the point of £45k worth of metal not moving on a driveway 5 days a week. 997.2's are also a fair bit more expensive and I'm a noise guy so a 997.1 appeals to me much more. I want a old school rawer manual car.
I am an avid reader of Pistonheads, and here etc. so am reasonably clued up on a gen 1 997s. IMS bearings, bore score etc. I have a slush fund I can use if the car gets borked.
Anyway, I have seen a 997.1s on Baytree cars https://www.baytreecars.com/stock/porsche-911-3-8-997-carrera-s-2dr/
Has anyone any experience of Baytree cars, and (long shot) does anyone know the car.
I suspect it may be worth paying more and buying from RSJ, or 911 virgin etc. but the one at Baytree has caught my eye. Any help or advice is much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mogwai.
