should i....

I had a TVR Chimaera last year, since then ive gone through 3 BMWs 325, Alpina B3 and now a 328i Sport.

I would love an 80s 911 before i get my company car next year, do you think it would be a good idea, will it cost much more than the BMWs to run, or will it be the same as the TVR if any one has experience of this i would love to hear your thoughts

cheers

Having had a Chim and numerous BMW's (including a 328 sport coupe and 328 cab "sport edition") and now being on my third 911 (including a G50), i'm just going to pile straight in...

If you buy a solid, well kept (not cheap) 3.2 Carrera of around 87/88/89 vintage (G50 box) you're going to have a car that costs little more to run than a 328 sport and much less to run than a Chim, and trounces both in almost every way.

Ok, even the 328 is quicker in a straight line, and probably corners (unless it's dry and you're brave), and the TVR (if you had sports exhausts) sounds wonderful, but there's something quite unique about a 911.

Best bet? Drive a nice, clean, looked after 87/88/89 car. You'll either love it or hate it...

Be warned though, if you love it, you'll never want to be without a 911 ever again.

I got my 3.2 a year ago after having a v8s series and it is a different league, i would strongly reccomend it.

I got an 89 carrera just a month ago and I agree with the comment above...'I dont know that I will ever be able to be without a 911 now'! Great fun, huge grin factor, plenty of performance but with bags of style too.

Go and drive one!

Enjoy
