Literally what it says on the tin.

I have a wonderful 1960s Italian but using her in anything but perfect weather is becoming challenging. Fuel starvation, etc is a real world issue.

If I sold, I'd have about £250,000 to spend. I think I'd go Porsche post 1975 as they are still really quite easy to use in the real world.

Any thoughts on what you'd do?

The key words are rare, fun and reliable.

Links to what is available, would be ace.

Thank you all, it is a nice "problem" to have, though I do wonder whether these Porsche prices are going to fall down sooner rather than later.

I was scouring the net and came across this - looks very interesting and it should be within budget. It's essentially a 993 RS that was modified to have a wider body and more a performance.

I wonder if anything like this could be built for the budget? That would be great fun.

The more I think about it, the more I think it needs to be a Porsche that has had some resto-mod treatment from one of the top guys. I suspect it costs a bomb to order, but quite a lot less to buy used?

A lot to read there and thank you for bringing this excellent thread to my attention! Yes, I can see it is rather well-trodden and even page 1 shows that you should be buying 2nd hand and not building...

I think I'd love a Singer, but I don't have Singer money. May a pre-loved Tuthiull, Ninemeister or Rennsport is the way forward.

Anything intersting for sale that's come to note?

This could have been just the thing! RUF 964 turbo.
