911 & Porsche World  |  911 & Porsche World issue 223
On the cover this month is possibly the world's best Carrera 3.2 - rebuilt from the ground up using all new parts and with a price of £60,000. Is it worth it? If you want what is effectively a brand new Carrera 3.2, then yes, we think so!
Also in the October issue we take an extended drive in Porsche's entry level Boxster. Should you feel shortchanged in a 2.7 instead of an S? No way.
On a technical note we lift the lid on M96 engine failures, separating fact from fiction with help from a number of experts on the subject, not least our own Chris Horton. We've also been at Spa doing a spot of driver training with RSRSpa and we've got the full lowdown on buying a 993 Cabriolet.
Supporting all this is the usual eclectic mix of regulars. For full contents see below:
