Been dealing with Tom on this one and IMHO they know their stuff and seem to be a good bunch of blokes.
Professional , courteous, polite and knowledgeable.

(is that what you wanted me to say Tom?)

But seriously- should be worth the 450 mile round trip

Ah, a deposit down and going to pick it up, I see.......

Looks very nice yes

You won't have any problems buying from 911V. I bought my 997 from them last year and can't fault any of the guys or their cars. Many an OPC and Indi could learn a lesson from Henry and Tom yes

Enjoy the drive back home wink

Exciting stuff. I still remember the anticipation after ordering mine, the 5 month wait and finally collecting it on a day off and taking it for a long drive in the countryside.

Oh my! that was 7 years ago. Poor now so it is no longer mine frown

Enjoy! biggrin

m3evo321 - Good luck and enjoy! I bought my 997 from them in November last year and yes they were nice guys, but my car was exactly as described (when I placed the deposit) in terms of both condition and spec ...

And no I didn't sleep the night before ..... smile

Good luck & enjoy! Weathers superb for driving at the moment smile

Don't forget on 'pre-owned' Porsches the cigarette lighter should show no sign of being used... none at all... don't forget to check! wink
