Hi, i'm coming back to Porsche ownership for the first time in 15yrs or so and i've found a lovely 991 that i have my eye on.

Only problem is that it's on a SORN and i can't get it to a main dealer for a 111 point check with the view to adding the Porsche warranty to it.

Can anyone recommend a good specialist who would be willing to travel to the vehicle address to carry out an inspection for me?

The car is based in London.

Thanks.

Strange - they came to the Portsmouth area.

All that said for what is effectively the cost of a month's road tax why not get the owner to bring it to a main dealer? The owner can tax it for a year and either you buy it and he gets 11 months tax back or you don't buy it and he can SORN it again and still get 11 months tax back.

i couldn't get anyone for a home inspection until end of July at the earliest.
i've taken your advice and the seller has taxed the car and it will be driven to a main dealer for the 111 point check.
thx guys
