As I’m sure some of you are aware from my previous car threads I’m rather partial to older Porsches, however have always harboured a desire to one day race. Having sold my ‘74 RS rep and Manthey GT3 due to building our hours, I was somewhat bored and carless….. last summer a good friend of mine who races all over the world in a myriad of beautiful classic cars, invited me to Combe for a track day and the rest is history!!
Over lunch he commented how I should get into racing and he would be happy to go halves on a car, a few coffees later we had found a suitable car and had arranged a viewing through a dealer who we are both friends with!
We decided to go with a 986 Boxster S for a number of reasons, relatively cheap to buy, parts aren’t horrendous, great fun cars to drive and they are eligible for a number of series/championships.
The car we ended up with is a fully built, highly competitive Boxster S, with a Hartech engine, Ohlins suspension and a raft of other high end bits.
