PIE Performance are great to deal with, Chris and his team are great, my friend takes his 968 CS there we are in Suffolk.
I have been hankering after a 997 recently as I love this era, I am 6'3" so struggle to fit in most cars but these I can fit in nicely but test drove this era when they came out and loved them but timing wasn't right I am hoping like you it would be, but I have set a lower budget for my search, as it would hardly get used so have to weigh that up also.
Good luck with your search
