Replacing the 993 was always going to be tricky, but needs must as the bank of Mum and Dad was required to create another property owning millennial. Air-cooled was out the equation but after looking around at other marques decided I still wanted to stay with Porsche. People were trying to persuade me to go modern, but have to say the thought of a 996, Cayman or Boxster just didn't do it for me, had to be a classic and preferably with luck in an uncertain future, maybe even a bit of a sleeper.....
What does do it for me though is rarity, limited number production runs and cars with unusual detail design elements to them. The handling reputation of the 968 had caught my eye and I began to realise the Club Sport fell into those categories, only 179 rhd cars so pretty rare and great quirky detail bits with all the weight saving going on.
I'd put the word out I was looking for something, and with serendipity being such a wonderful thing at the end of last year a guy got in touch who thought I might be interested in his Club Sport..... oh and by the way it's Riviera Blue!
It's lived up north all it's life, so had to introduce it to a classic car location on it's first drive to it's new home, not sure what 'Jenks' would have made of it though......
I prefer my blues slightly more muted... 
But it is indeed a special and rare car to find, bravo!
