whats the best?
Discussion
There are a lot of people much more knowledgeable than me on this forum, but FWIW, my thoughts are as follows.
Assuming that money was no object, I'd want to have both the water-cooled and air-cooled versions of the turbo. The recent turbo special supplement produced by 911 & Porsche World made me drool over both these models and I would be hard-pressed to choose between them (on the basis of the reports - sadly, I've not driven either of them!).
I'm sure there are lots of other wonderful Porsches out there, but you've already got virtually the best practical Porsche going, and anything from the more distant past is going to feel very dated in comparison. However, if you've a taste for it, I'm sure you'd be spoiled for choice!
Good hunting!

I quite like the idea of a Carrera 3.2 cab to compliment a modern turbo in the garage (A red or a black one please if anyone is buying). Wind in the hair motoring and cheap to insure on a classic policy. An 89 speedster would be nice but is it worth the £15/20k premium over a cab of the same vintage?
Ignoring the "classic" restoration project requirement, it maybe worth considering a 993 cab for an extra £10k on the budget. Last of the aircooled cabs, complete with modern standards of braking, suspension etc.
Be aware that on the really old cars (356s etc) things like the brakes and the performance will not be what you would expect of a Porsche.

Obiously hugely budget dependant, but IMHO,
-2.2S
-2.4S
& at a slighly higher budget level & if you can afford it-
2.7RS
911R or TS or TR
If only for sunny Sunday use perhaps consider a targa, great fun with an S engine, & ive driven one with a 2.7RS engine, which was an absolute & utter hoot.
356 Speedster also must be in with a shout, but drive one first you may hate it- far more old style beetle than modern Porker....
