Thanks to my Adrian Streather book on the 993 I did some ID checking on the C4 to discover that the engine number did not match what was on the documents and the HPI check. The seller did some investigation with Porsche UK and they confirmed that the engine in the car was not the one it was built with - hmm, I don't like that for the sake of resale. It turned out that the original seized engine had been replaced with a used one, albeit by a respectable independent Porsche specialist down south. The seller did his best to get as much history but it came to a dead end with the engine having unknown mileage on it.
I was very close with this one and even had my cheque book in hand to pay the deposit, but I walked away. Oh, well carry on looking.
