Looking to sell my Boxster, dont think that will be easy (had a no show today) so prob going to habe to P/X :-(

Will have around £10k to play with so thinking about a Chimaera or XK8

What else would you recommend I think about, something thats reasonably quick, looks and sounds good and not that common on the roads. This is a second car so not daily driver

have no prob with older cars and getting my hands dirty if needed

I think you're on the right track with the Chimaera, but I'll toss in a VX220 turbo just for the sake of adding something else in the sort of price range your talking about, which isn't spotted all that often.

Caterham / Westfield too raw for you? Much more suitable as a weekend/second car than the daily-driver candidates you've mentioned.

Like the sound of the 968, before I bought the boxster was looking at 944's but coudnt find one that didnt need major surgery to cure the rust bug

That is an interesting proposition (didn't think you'd get one <£10K, just had a look in the clasifieds smile ), coming from a Boxster the OP would be well prepared for the earlier versions.
