Just to say I visited there last week - and I really recommend it. Helpful staff, fantastic stock, clean premises that you could eat your dinner from and an amazing 'library' of Porsche books and magazines.

Has anybody else on this forum been there? If so, what are your views?

Not been there, but Andrew did buy my 993 from me a year ago. A very easy transaction and a top chap to deal with. May take a visit there soon as i am currently looking for a new motor - but I don't know what???

Did you see the maritime blue 996TT?

I’m glad these guys are getting the recognition they deserve

Honestly I’m biased - my friend’s dad is co-owner but i love going up there - currently saving for a 993TT (or the riveria blue 996TT!)

As you say the stock is fantastic - they speciliase in rare low mileage examples but also do a "find me xxx car" facility #


"edited to add..."
GT03 DOM - I take it you went to see the guys - how did it go - whats the car like to drive?

The 996 TT is riveria blue i think and yes its amazing the guy who used to own has last 3 cars in the special order colour - stunning

You`ll enjoy the experience ; easy going relaxed atmosphere with plenty of good quality stock and , if you compare the prices with other local specialists , they seem to be very good value . I`ve bought two cars from Andrew and he has teamed up this year with two ex JCT600 chaps who have formed RPM Specialist cars in an adjoining unit who have proved to be very good .
Give him a ring before you go as Andrews sometimes not there on Mondays .

You will love the RUF - it is amazing (especially the wheels).

The Riviera Blue 996TT was one of my favourites - gorgeous colour when you are up close.

My overall favourite was the flatnose 911 Turbo in silver - if I had the money, I'd buy it today!

I have been up there before and it is an awesome little place. I had been out for a drive around the area and headed to the other Porsche place at the end of the same road (I forget the name!) They pointed me in the direction of Gmund and I had a good hour or so poking around the cars. Even though I turned up in a Micra, the owners still made me feel at home and one of them gave me a good tour of his own new 911. I think he was very very proud of it

I paid a visit with my Boxster S last Saturday.

I left lusting after a blue 964RS --- an absolute minter and a joy to see. Left hand drive but ...

I should say, good advice, no spin, and I hope he makes a fair living (fair for buyer and seller !)
It seems he does.

Got my car from Andrew, all of them are nice friendly chaps and it was a very relaxing experience.

Always lots of lovely kit around to drool over.

I've had dealings with Andrew for years - he loves the cars, and it shows.
That 993 Turbo R is a superb car, and rare too.
