I keep looking at this one

If money was no object, then I would be on the M5 south within 5 mins.
However it is and while I am sure it’s worth every penny, I would need to sell some of the other toys.
I tried convincing Michelle my wife to part with one of hers, she’s being totally unreasonable and refuses.

I’ve a 2005 Boxster that Porsche maintain for me at vast expense, but the truth is that I enjoy it as much as any car I’ve ever owned. When the last bill appeared I nearly bought a more recent model that would have cost £35K more, but I didn’t because I’m perfectly happy with what I have.
I love my little 356C and I’m spending a fortune on it too. It’s in the paint shop now and it’s lovely to drive, admired everywhere I take it and it’s practical transport, but the Boxster is more fun. Therefore I resist the temptation to spend even more, regardless of how much I like oldies.

For me, I get much more enjoyment from driving an old car if I haven't had to spend lots of money on it ...

I have the same combo Ashley. 356B coupe and a 2011 Boxster S. I love driving them both for different reasons.

I agree Merv, there are very few old cars that just feel right and 356s are one of them.

Well I think the only thing I can add is bring back analogue.

Yes that is lovely and ticks a lot of boxes. She would certainly would be high on my list if I was looking for a 356 (and had that kind of money).

That was the one KS drove and reported on in issue 54 of Classic Porsche
