Hi All, I have finally decided to return to Porsche ownership. I have been and bought a manual 993 coupe. Needs a few odd jobs ( bit of paint, sunroof seal etc but mechanical very good and the previous owners had it 14 years and spent 000’s
My first Porsche was a 993 back in 2000 and then had a run of 9 in a row.
Since then been through Ferrari’s 355 (still have), 550 and 360 and then more recently a vantage roadster, db7, Elise and Morgan + 8
Then looked at 996 and 997 turbo’s which were lovely but just missing something.
So back to another 993, which feels like coming back home after many years away !!

Thanks, the 360 was ok but the 430 was another step forward.

I have to say if I was moving from a 993 to anything it would probably be a 355 (but I am biased as had mine 13 years) or a 430.

The 355 has character where as the 360 is more of a 996 if that makes sense.

Depends on what you are looking for.
