I did well over 15,000 Km during my tenure, and gained more and more confidence with the car as my experience built.
It takes time to get to know all "old" cars --- and they nearly all break-down if rarely used !!
QED, get out there in our cars [][]
There don't appear to be too many disclaimers shown as with other forms of investment!
I have also looked at 2 non RS 993 over the last year I was happy to walk away from, only to see them appear at strongly marketed classic car dealers soon after to sell almost immediately at much inflated prices. Fair enough that was never my plan for the cars anyway.
Thankfully the enthusiasm for these cars is not all about a quick £/$/€ , when this settles the more astute will be looking for decent cars with provenance.

Interesting that I recall the reason you sold was because you realised that you had not driven the car much further than Silverstone and back in the previous year !

Absolutely right Chris - I covered 600 miles in the last 12 months of ownership. I was doing a lot of driving for business at the time and simply didn't have the time or inclination to drive it. Ownership was great - had some great times, met some great people and it taught me rare car ownership was not for me as I am not precious about cars in the slightest! Have not missed the car one day....
The current market is like a spectator sport!! Very interesting Paul sold the exact car only 16 months ago for a third of the price and that other dealers are prepared to risk buying at much higher prices. The dealer who has this is only up the M6 from me and after 1 visit a year or so ago I won't be going back as the approach was 'pay a deposit and we can talk about the price to be paid'. The 993 is definitely not the stock they normally carry.
