I've read all the build thread and magazine feature details about it - I've owned seventeen 356's before but can't wait to get this one !

What a beautiful car. Have never driven a 356 but always loved the shape. Congratulations.

You'll have fun with that. Great build and followed it through France 2 years ago. Sits beautifully on road and goes well also in right hands

Nice looking 356. I unfortunately haven't seen it in the flesh but I'm told it's lovely.
I hope you are feeling a little better and I hope you are ready to enjoy the miles of smiles.

All the best,
Regards
Mike
P.S. Do you still have that lovely low mileage Peugeot GTI ?

Thanks Mike

Really looking forward to getting it, can't wait ! I'm feeling fine thanks I have 2 Chemotherapy treatments left ( out of 6 ) and 10 Radiotherapy treatments left (out of 30 ) - my mouth's a bit sore ( major understatement !) but I can still eat and swallow and haven't had to use the tube in my abdomen to be fed via a syringe - so things are looking good ! Onwards and Upwards !

I've had a lot of 356's before ( 17 in fact ) and a few 911's (29) as well as some other Porsches , but I'm really excited about getting this one, which Robert is delivering next week.

I sold my low mileage Peugeot 205 Gti - great car and perfect condition. I'm quite into "hot hatches" and at the moment I have an Abarth 595 Competiizione - Alfa SZ Zagato - and an Audi A1 Quattro ( 1 of 333 ) to make up for it !

Mine's been re-mapped to 328bhp and is one of the best cars I've ever owned ( and I've had a few ! )

Thanks for your comments

Thanks very much - I've had a few "proper" Porsches in the past - wish I was driving it home but not possible at the moment ( see above) but will be driving it extensively in the Summer !


Thanks for your comments
