Hello all, I'm a 987 Boxster owner who decided to buy a 256 instead of a more expensive more modern Porsche. I love the former and it belonged to a dear friend, so will keep it and I'm a classic car person at heart. I have a Healey 3000 too.

My 356 is having its steering box rebuilt, it's radio overhauled, clock overhauled and a new inside is on its way from Lakewell.com , so lots of work but nothing fundamental.

What I was hoping is that other 356 owners lurking anywhere near me. My car is a 1964 C

There's a chap in the West Midlands just north of you with a freshly built Ivory 356 although he doesn't seem to drive his cars anywhere anymore!

Welcome to the forum Ashley

Thanks Darren, I have a friend up the road with a 964 too. Forty years ago he had a 2.4L, he sold it and moaned like hell till he got the later car about a year ago. I like it.

Thanks Ian too

Hi Ashley. That does indeed look like a nice 356 and welcome to DDK.

I'm about half an hour the other side of Bristol with my 356A. If you look in Future Events "Southwest Meet/Drive out" a few of us are planning a breakfast meet up at Haynes Motor Museum, followed by a drive to a big car meet at Thornfalcon near Taunton.
Add your name to the list if you fancy meeting up then.

Thanks very much, I'd love to join you and will depending on a very ill wife and a five day steering box rebuild that's just passed the four week mark. That's the 356, the Boxster is fine and ready.

Sorry to hear of your wife's illness Ashley, but we'll see you then, all things, including steering box, willing. Any car will do - I'm also a fellow Boxster owner. Let's talk nearer the time.
