Delighted to be new and proud owner of an 88 CS, looking forward to learning all about a classic after 4 years in a 993. I cannot locate a good specialist in deepest West Sussex. Does anyone have any good experiences to relate please. Cheers
Well done and congratulations on your CS purchase Graham and welcome to the forum!
There is also a place somewhere around Burgess Hill, mid Sussex; I haven't heard about them recently but could be wortn investigating.
Depends how deep into West Sussex you are really!

i recently purchased a 911 SC, which I have to say I am loving. The car is in great condition having been subject to a restoration by a Porsche Centre in 2014, and serviced by them ever since.
The car is shortly due a service and I am considering a Porsche main dealer, probably the centre that did the restoration and serviced ever since under the Porsche Classic scheme, or whether to go to a well respected air cooled specialist my local one being Paul Stephens who are just down the road.
Any advice would be appreciated and will post some pictures when I can work out how to…
thanks
I would go the Paul Stephens route. Good reputation, and well respected within Porsche circles.
glad you loving your SC, just be careful they are very addictive
Hope this helps.

I've bought from PS and at the time he used Autostrasse at Coggeshall. To be honest, the first 911 (an IB) wasn't that well looked at by them prior to my purchase; various issues that should have been found and rectified before sale. Fortunately, Paul was very good with the after-care and ensured the faults were put right, although I had the inconvenience, of course. I understand he now has his own technicians on site so would hope the servicing and pre-delivery stuff is much better; he does have a god reputation for Porsche.
I use Tony Ruggles at Carrera Engineering in Nazeing. He's looked after the 993 for me since 2010 and for the previous owner (and his previous Porsches and dailies) prior to that. He owns an early 911 Targa and is very knowledgeable. Tony also conducts PPIs and is very exacting and meticulous with his report. That said, I appreciate the convenience of PS for you and I'm confident you will receive good service from him.
Loving The SC, not driven an air cooled car before owning this one and they are very special. Was a real poster car for me growing up and glad it drives as good as it looks. Really different to my 991.2 gt3, but the wife definitely enjoys drives in it more than the gt3, which feels like you are setting lap times at the Nurburgring.
thanks again all
