[erics]

Undesirable 996's hey?????

Feel free to post pics of your 'ugly' 996's...........

[erics]

And a bit more overload................

Absolutely stunning Erics. This is my dream car. The S is so cool.

I am surprised that you had time to take photos, I would have spent time behind the wheel. I am so glad that you did post the pictures though. Your car is stunning.

Somebody did...there is 2700 miles between the pics!!

Seriously though - mega spec car in superb condition.

Do you have the orignal purchase invoice - looks like somebody had fun on the options list.

I did 1k miles through the cotswolds last weekend...

First owner was a relavely well known guy who went far far far with the option list. And when it was not on the option list, he still got porsche to do it.

Awesome car, shame about the photos.

Enjoy the car!

Beautiful car (996) and with only 20k miles in 8 years or so is very impressive annual average!

Noticed some turbos have red calipers and others yellows - is this signifcant or just cosmetic?

Love the 993 too - though if i was being ocd about it i'd do something to blend the radio in if poss...but very minor point and it's a lush car.

Both absolutely lovely cars you have there! I thought I had decided my next purchase in the new year would be a gen 2 996 Carrera 2, but over the past few days the urge for a 996 Turbo has been getting stronger - your pictures have confirmed I need to save up a bit extra.

Sounds familiar; couple weeks back i started with £12-£15k for a sweet 996; ended up stretching it to a C4S and now have a lovely manual 53reg black turbo with 48k miles and a huge hole in the bank account!
Do it you won't regret it.
