Just took delivery today of my first Porsche. Finally, after years of dreaming about owning one, I do.

It's a 1991 944S2 in Cobalt blue from Hartech in Bolton, who have serviced and maintained it for the last 13 years.

What a car and what a company, true enthusiasts of the make and the attention to detail by them is superb.

Amazing to drive for a 19 year old car, can't imagine it feeling much better when it first came out the showroom (but then what would I know).

The car feels rock solid through the corners, everything's working as it should and is quiet on the motorway, what else do you need? Apart from no gritting wagons going in the opposite direction!

No pictures yet but what a day, what a car. (i'm going to shut up now :oops: )

Well done that man and welcome to Porsche ownership. Hope the snow is melting away up that way now and you can go enjoy the thrill of a well sorted car that will outgun a lot of modern machinery, looks a lot better, probably won't depreciate and just happens to be 19 yrs old :D
Pics when you can as Cobalt blue is a lovely colour

Scraps, well done you! I looked at this car on the internet (I really like the Hartech approach and occasionally view their website) and it's a cracking car.

Their pricing structure reflects how good their cars are - not the cheapest but amongst the best out there I would expect. A number of years ago I had a lux they had looked after for many years and it was a fantastic example.

I would definitely have pursued this car if I didn't already have one! Enjoy.

It's a Hartech car & that will have been checked religiously. If you stick with the maintenance plan it's under warranty.

That's good that it's under warranty!!!! I have seen one sold and as they were pulling off the lot.....ping, time for a new cylinder head because the service tech did not read the service bulletin on the chain pads! Just saying !!!
