I reckon it was one of the last cheap 964's on the market, as they seemed to shoot up soon afterwards. I remember Ray saying a year later that he regretted selling it and not keeping it. It came with Cup 2 alloys which just didn't look right on a 964. Fine on a 993. I managed to find a set of cheap genuine Cup 1's, got both sets refurbished and got my money back for the Cup 2's so was well happy with that. I saw that the first owner was Porsche Cars GB, so I asked them if they had any history on it. By surprise, they did and my car was loaned to the Footwork Arrows F1 team in 1991. At the time, Le Mans winner Jackie Oliver was CEO so this was probably his car. They even sent me a letter confirming this so adds some great history to the car. It came with all MOT's and a stack of receipts so lots of history. I love the car and is definatly a keeper and is great to drive. I've replaced the faded rear lights, all door and side moulding seals, swapped out the steering wheel for an OEM Clubsport wheel (much thicker and better to use), load of brake and hydraulic pipes but the rear nearside wing needs a bit of bubbling attention. Been thinking of an RS front suspension upgrade to make it more comfortable and look better but the bodywork will take priority. Quote Reply #22

However, I have just discovered another independent local to me called MLR. I plan to make contact with them this week to discuss their services?

Peter IMHO, can't imagine you'd ever go wrong sticking to 9m. Very air-cooled respected and have created some amazing engine build projects. Discussed with them many years back a 3.8 rebuild. Never heard of MLR I'm afraid. '90 964 C4 Velvet Red '94 968 Sport Gaurds Red '90 964 C4 Slate Grey '03 Focus ST '02 Focus ST Quote Reply #25

I have heard it is very complex and loads of parts but I would certainly take a stab, if I run into trouble then I would have to get a specialist involved but there are a number of videos and books, threads etc out there with info. The hardest bit in my head is dropping the lump out in my garage! :) Current fleet 1991 964 Carrera 2005 997 Carrera S 2008 957 Cayenne GTS 2003 Boxster 2.7 1994 Eunos Roadster S Special Turbo 270bhp! 1991 Mercedes 500SL 1979 Mercedes 280e 1995 VW Golf VR6 3.0 Quote Reply #27
