My 968 Club sport is getting lonely so I've decided to get it some company in the form of a 993 RS or RSR. Preferably RHD but not essential. We owned one a few years ago but back then I couldn't justify having a car that was a "keeper" as my business was expanding, but now I would like to find one that I can keep for a long long time. If anyone can help me find the right car I would be happy to repay the favour with a long spin in it...

thanks in advance

Mark

www.gtclassics.co.uk usually has a couple. His German partner,Thomas Schmitz, has a very good reputation and is probably top RS trader in Europe.

In the history of the world is there a car dealer who hasn't got a customer who won't be buying from them again?

To be honest I only based my comment on having met several people who have bought from him and sung his praises. I was breaking my rule of never reccomending a car dealer!

Very good mate of mine bought a car from H&S which turned out not to be 'as described' shall we say.

I would speak to Paul Mclean at GT Classics, as car dealing is his 'hobby' he won't put you into something that is not 100% cosher, as he does'nt need to sell cars to pay the mortgage/bills/put food on the table.

He is very fussy with the cars he sells, and I know of cars he has politely refused to take on sale or return as they were not up to his very high standards.

Without naming and shaming the individual cars, what are we talking about when saying they're no good? Accident damage? Raced and rallied?

I would have thought the RHD one on ebay would have been snapped up?
