Have been on DDK and other forums for quite a while and thought I'd better join the Tipec forum as well. Probably quite a few people from DDK will be on here, I know Helen is!
Have owned various 356s for nearly 10 years and currently own 4 (as you do), although 1 is about to be sold hopefully.
Am looking to buy a 968 as a daily driver with some of the money I get from the sale of the 356 so any suggestions or advice would very welcome as I am new to 968s.

Four 356s at once? I’ve just been hit hard by the big green jealousy monster.

I know once you start you can't stop. Or something like that.
Pictures of the fleet below:

My 1953 Cabriolet, I have owned for 5 years now.

1959 Coupe (bought last summer)

Image

1961 Notchback Coupe which I have owned for about 18 months. Must get started on the restoration.

1962 Coupe. I have owned this car for nearly nine years. Am just about to complete the sale on it unfortunately.

I'll admit. I'm extremely jealous. Even the bare shell looks pretty good.

Have fun in the 968 when you get it.

I will try to attend some meetings, only problem is I usually am working up to about 6.30-7.00 pm so may be a bit late to come out and play.

Those are all lovely—especially the split windscreen ragtop!

I fully expect my wife to start drooling uncontrollably when she sees this thread.
