I nearly went to look at a 996 c2 in that colour, but speaking to a friend it has a slight pinky tinge to it, doesn't seam to show up in photo's but his description put me off and might be awkward come resale time.

If it was me, i'd not bother with either, on the basis that £30k should get you a (much) better example. I'd go for X50, late as possible with sensible mileage.

And "Last Owner Was a Mature School Teacher Who Only Used On Weekends" Love that! Translation: owned by a lunatic who drove it like he stole it at every opportunity

and not sure what a "Sports Manual Gearbox" is....

996tt are amzingly good cars, so i think you're on the right track

Sportec wheels are nice. Always amazes me when adverts state the price of major work done but omit to mention to reason for or, more importantly, who did the work.

Yes, I think it needs a bit of explanation! £14K overhaul, might as well have fitted a new engine.

I thought that the engines in the Turbos are just about bomb proof? At 60,000 miles I would not say that was too good. It could of course be the owner run it out of oil of course.

Or ran out of water, or over-revved it, or whatever else. Need to find out what happened there.

Agreed and I would also want to know who fixed it.
