I think I am going to start looking for an early manual 986.1 Boxster S instead of a 996 given that it appears relatively easy to get a decent one for 10k or less rather than the 20k plus for a 996, which seems hard to justify given I will probably only do 1 or 2k a year in it...

They get less reliable in a roughly linear relationship with capacity - you can relentlessly thrash the smallest engine for eons and it'll be fine.

Noted, cheers. My understanding is that 986.1 don't tend to suffer from bore score, it's more IMS that is a worry, so looking at ones that either have had it replaced or due a new clutch, in which case will get it done and upgraded with clutch.
