They have a ball park price for the restored 968 club sport that won second place in the Porsche restoration comp

£70K, think you need to insure your car for the same sort of money Ken

Well it's been a long time so thought I would post an update
Cars running great, just need a bit of paint next year and it's finished :D
Although knowing me it will be a lot of paint

But in the meantime been building a new home for the car after building it in a tiny lean to with only a few inches each side of the car I wanted a big garage with lift so up goes this 10x6m garage
