80's 911 advice needed
Discussion
Wow, thanks for all the replies guys. I'm actually doing the leg work for a good friend who doesn't have time, we saw this car at the Classic car show at the NEC last weekend and it really looks a good one. As for the targa, it is what's wanted as he is used to having a convertible car and enjoys fresh air motoring!
I actually said to him he might be better with a boxster so he could use it more often than a 'classic' but he's spellbound by the classic 911 lines!
As for me i'm going for a 928 but i'll save that for another thread......

OK guys, he's wobbling 
This is his current fleet - Daily (mostly winter) hack Scenic, Z3 Convertible which sees a lot of use and also a classic spitfire summer use only.
He's not sure whether to go for the 911 classic and sell the spitfire, therefore keeping the 911 for summer use or sell the Z3 and use the 911 quite a lot more. I think he might be better selling the Z3 and going for a boxster?
Whats the knowledgeable opinions between the classic 911 and boxster?

Hi Guys, a little update, We went and viewed a couple of 911's at the weekend. The first was a perfect example of what not to buy! A complete shed.
However we then saw a 76 3.0 carrera coupe, a really good car with a history file to choke a horse, infact over £40k worth of receipts! The car has had all regular issues taken care of with engine rebuild new clutch etc etc. It also has a great interior with new headlining and reupholstered seats. There are a couple of minor paint flaws that will probably need a little attention in the near future but no rot. Overall a real nice car which my mate is now seriously considering. As for price, the seller (classic car dealer) has indicated £11k which we think is a fair price although we will haggle a bit more.
So, any views on the 3.0 carrera coupe model and the price?
