New Toy

I figure that my first step is just to have the systems drained and the fluid changed and hope this sorts out the pedal feel
Might be the some adjustment on the clutch as the first bit of pedal travel does nothing at all, or maybe the slave cyclinder.

Will get some pics done soon.

86 Turbos Rock BTW, yes as you have posted fluid change in the master cylinders will see a difference, i will bet it still has the original in there.

I was wondering what the pitfalls to ownership are?

Congratulations on an apparently nice car. Pitfall list is probably:

Rust in sills
Rust in Trailing lower edge of front wings
Water leaks

an early production low miler like yours would be lowish risk of the above IMO

then, use regularly or dry dry store would be significant

and finding a good spanner to maintain it without incurring the costs of a 991 turbo along the way for you.

There's several good indies just west of London: Hillcrest Specialist Cars at Nettlebed, or Northway Porsche at Beenham...my car's been well looked after at Northway for over 10 years. I find them convenient because they're just walking distance from Aldermaston Station, regular trains from Reading, open Saturday mornings for collection.
