THE SUB-£60K PURCHASE
With a wider budget the possibilities are far greater. The following three options were the ones highlighted the most, mixing air and water for a broad, appealing 911 choice…
964 Carrera Coupe
Like the 996 C4S overleaf, the 964 was the car most referenced by our team of experts, but in the £30k-£60k sphere. Franklin says: “They’ve been popular for a while. Ask a lot of Porsche people what their favourite older 911 is and they’ll say 964, it’s a classic silhouette. Try and find a good manual with decent history, they’ll probably have had an engine rebuild, too.” Northway agrees: “Get a late chassis number 964; it might need a top-end rebuild, which will last you another 10-15 years, but you should be buying the very best in this category. You’ll never go backwards with that.”
