Anyone in or close to Sheffield?

Hello

I've just started looking for what will be my first 911. Ultimately I would love a 930 Turbo but they are a bit out of my league right now in terms of price so I'd like to try and find a good 3.2.

The problem is I have never been in one and don't know anyone with one (an older Porsche that is).

Is there a local meet or club where I could have a natter with some owners? I have been reading up loads on them but there is obviously no substitute for seeing them in the flesh and speaking to people who have owned them.

I would like to do this before I go and start seeing them as I don't want to waste people's time. I could go and see a really good one on my first outing but not know that its good and potentially walk away from a great car.

Any advice on how to go about buying my first Porsche would be greatly appreciated.

We're holding our breakfast meet on the 18th October here at Malton, not a million miles from Sheffield, we'll be on hand for advice and I can pretty much guarantee there'll be some 930s present.
 
Sounds like a good plan that Mark. I'll stick it in the diary.
 
I'm in Sheffield (S1/S25) and I have an '85 3.2. Happy to chat.

Thanks for the response Olly, I've sent you an email.

I should add that I also love the 2.4/2.7S from the 70's, but again, I've never been in one or know anyone that owns one so my love for them is based purely on looks and what I have read about them.

Mark, I'll definitely be going for a coupe but I'll be checking your site regularly for updates.
