Hi
Following on from the 911 for 10k topic recently, I never did get any decent pictures of my recent purchase.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday morning giving it a wash, clay bar and polish. All in only a couple of hours work; I hope you like the results:

You paid 10k for it? Certainly looks great value.

Do you have any plans for the engine or are you just going to run it as is and deal with if it goes wrong?

Got it for less than 10k.

Full check by Hartech 12 months ago and since I have owned it (circa 3 months and a couple of 1000 miles) no problems at all.

I changed the oil on Friday and removed the front bumper last month to inspect the front rads; both were like new.

Really pleased so far and love the colour.

Cheers

looks like Viola metallic - a great choice of clour if I may say so.

You are correct.

Thanks for the comment!

It can look Purple, Blue or even Black!

That looks like the one a girl on here bought last year, had Hartech PPI it then later spent a few £k more locally to her on getting it tip-top (don't mis-interpet that, Hartech did a good job she was pleased with). If it is that one it should be a great car, enjoy!

I had a 964 Celebratio in Viola - wish I still had it to be honest.

It is that one!

I did a fair amount of reserach before the purchase as I believe in the year she owned it she spent in the region of 9k on maintenance.

This included all new suspension, brakes, tyres and servicing.

Ah well, I did try to point out to her how good my girlfriend's car (that we were selling at the time) was, how everything had been done to it already but she still went and bought a different one wink. Sounds like it'll be great now though. driving

Hi
You mean I purchased it from your girlfriend? Small world.

I was going to e-mail her today to let her know how well the car is going as I know she was very fond of it.

Sorry, you've misunderstood me - the girl who bought what is now your car was also interested in my girlfriend's black C2 that was already properly sorted and with some nice mods too. She paid a lower purchase price for your car but it's evidently cost her a lot more in the end. I am surprised she sold it so soon though.
