James - are you collapsing the chair and putting it over your shoulder in the back or do you have enough movement to get from the boot to the drivers seat?

Sure there is a chap on 911uk who is a wheel chair user, great video of him getting in his 996T and driving away.


£45k opens a lot of doors just now in term of Porsche, so it all depends what you are after??

Looking at this for example
http://www.911virgin.com/porscheforsale/469/997C2T...
it shows the passenger seat has the leaver to flip forward on the driver side as well so that would give you more rome to get your chair behind you.

If you dont need the rear seats for passangers then you could look at having them removed Ala GT3, I think it is a easy job to remove them.

The Haines museum has a 964 3.6 Turbo that has hand controls so really the sky would appear to be the limit.
