All, I'm after a bit of advice and help. If you'd be so kind as to share your knowledge / recommendations I'd appreciate it.

I'm quite tempted by a 1983 Carrera currently on sale at Yorkshire Classic and Sports Car in Ripon, thinking of heading up to take a look at it this weekend (Its about a 4 hour drive from home). The car itself seems to have good history and Daniel at YCSC has helpfully provided me with additional history and info via mail and phone.

Before considering parting with any cash (deposit or anything else)I want to have a nose around the car but also would like get it inspected. Can anybody recommend a specialist in the area who would be willing to carry out an inspection?

I know Peter Morgan has a terrific reputation, but I think the cars location is out of their coverage area. I've had a bit of a nose around the net and at Specialist Cars of Malton and Porschtek as well as Strasse for possible inspection services, but its not very clear if they undertake them.

Any thoughts, recommendations or advice gratefully received folks!

I think all Porsche specialists would do an inspection, but you would need to take the car to them.

The nearest Porsche specialist to Ripon would be RPM Specialist Cars at Scotton near Knaresborough. I suppose it will depend upon the selling dealer, and how far he would be willing to take the car for an inspection.

Many thanks, I'd be more than happy for RPM to inspect the car, good suggestion.
