Moving to Dubai and leaving my Porsche behind - store it or sell it?
My son has a 2011 Porsche Carrera S but is moving to Dubai for two to five years. He cannot take the car with him as it is right-hand drive, which apparently is not allowed there. Is there any merit in putting the car into secure storage for this length of time, or will it be best to sell and accept the loss?

It will be the old 997 model Carrera rather than the current 991. But watercooled Porsches don't take kindly to storage. The best thing to do is to sell, but he will have to take a deep bath - maybe as much as £20,000.
