Soooo, I have now purchased my new to me car...it's a 1992 968 tipper.
About 10 years ago, the owner I bought it from spent a lot of time and money on this car. Back to metal respray going from black to a metallic black that has a light gold flake in it. Looks fantastic in the sun but impossible to photograph (or at least for a non photographer like me). All new rubbers and a lot of money spent on the engine bringing it back to new.
Their money = my win. They drove it approx 11,000kms (7k miles) in the 10 years they owned it.
It's a beautiful car to drive. This era of car (regardless of manufacturer) had road noise, heavier steering and the gentle waft of mechanical effort as you work the car along the road.
After about 600kms of my driving over the first few days of getting it, I have managed to bust the odometer which I've since found out is a weakness of the vehicle. I'll pull out the speedo and get it fixed.
Loving it.
