NOW Thankfully REMOVED FROM SALE

I have owned this car since Jan 2007 and annually travelled to JMG for MOT & TLC Service.
Retirement, family commitments, 3 cars and Months of heart-searching force a reluctant sale, Hopefully it will attract a deserving new enthusiastic TIPEC owner.

Thanks for looking
Clive

Note the Red that appears to be on the side is actually a reflection of the door/sill and NOT a mark on the seat itself.

Fraid so,

Must be a delayed reaction to last Sundays Hot drive down to Gaydon for the AGM.
No seriously its been on the cards since retiring 2 years ago, but managed to put the inevitable off since then.

It's not just the Turbo that is being sold, If anyone is interested in :-
Y reg 1.9 Polo E SDI 2 door, Silver, 113k, full SH VGC excellent mpg 68ish but have had 84 when I was commuting 44 mls each way to & from work.
T Reg Land Rover Discovery TD5 GS Epsom Green Auto (chipped TD5 Alive) Very good Tow Car FSH 127k (soon to be advertised on Discovery Owners Club Forum)

All 3 to be replaced by a more recent load lugger Estate to cover all family transport requirements!
pm me if interested

You'll miss the 944 badly. Several have done this & come back to the fold a little later :?

Funny you should say that Jeff!
I did actually see a 911 Towing a Caravan up the A1 (Northbound) as we were travelling back from a holiday in Scotland some years ago.
I would imaging the load on the Tow hitch would give the RWD even better grip!
No it looks like the Volvo XC70 test drive got the her indoors approval (nice).

Just Look what I have spotted in the parts for sale :-

viewtopic.php?f=36&t=10517

The problem would then be I'd have to downsize the Caravan to probably a trailer tent (this would not meet with indoor approval!!)

No real interest so far from Tipec Members, guess I will have to be less discerning myself & give the general public a chance to acquire this superb example.
Some interest in the Land Rover Discovery though - on DOC Forum, but still need it till Sept for Caravan Holidays.

I had a look :bounce:
Stunning example of the marque Clive.
Just sorry I couldn't get the funds together to stay with Porsches :cry:
Just the economic climate we're all in at the moment, there's a smaller market at this level.
Anyone, if you want the best example this is worth a trip down south to look at :D

Thanks for that Andy,
It does look good, not quite concourse (apart from whats under the bonnet!). Simon did a superb job on the engine especially the Hybrid Turbo! , really smooth, loads of Torque (spools up quickly, no lag). I'm real sorry to have to part with it.
I'm not in any hurry to sell and think leaving it at JMG is my best option to attract a person looking for and willing to pay the price for that superb performance. Must be driven to be fully appreciated!

Have you spent the Insurance yet if so what have you got? (Sorry to hear you are not staying with Porsche, I'm going the one car route Volvo XC70 now on order for Sept dly, Sold my Polo to the Volvo Salesman!!)
Oh anybody want a Good TD5 Discovery ? available in September.
