Considering a classic Porsche

[Rick101]

Never had a classic. Not interested in doing any spannering. Looking to do some nice road miles at a nice pace but understand it won't match the performance of current stuff.

Never had a Porsche, am only just learning model numbers. I want something open top, whale tail, reasonably reliable and will at least hold it's value.

Currently thinking a Guards Red 1987 3.2 Targa Sport would do the trick. I think thats the correct name.

Looking to pay around £32k for a nice one.

Any advice?

Thanks

Rick

Probably looking at 3k-5k a year.

Any good reading I should do?
Concerns are not knowing what to check for as I've previously purchased modern stuff and secondly, buying a widely unpopular model.

Thanks, have been to see it and it turns out it's a PH members car.

Just had a respray down at MW Bodyworks.

Don't think so. Would need to look through the paperwork.

Thanks, went up there this morning and went through the paperwork thoroughly. Had a good look around the car. It is very nice. I suspect little movement in price if any.

Not driven one as yet. Not the easiest thing to get a drive of, esp considering the time of year.

My previous cars have had a simple dial isolator for the battery positive. I'd assume that would be adequate for protecting it.

I do have a garage but sadly no power supply and not possible to fit one.

Excellent service from 911 Virgin. Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks all for the advice.

Thanks.

Had a top end rebuild around 15K ago and fairly sure I saw head studs replaced with some upgraded version on the invoice.
