on the one hand i am almost overcome with lust, admiration and envy. on the ohter hand, £75K??? how much were they new?

[welshchris]

A hundred grand - give or take.

On 1.8.95 (and bear in mind this is a '98 450bhp model) the standard Turbo was £79957.45 + Vat, equalling £93950.00

nice very nice but unsure about that colour.. that colour seems to give me bad look , i usually end up in the central reservetion in the frukinc armco.......

[nervous]

75k? nothings that ing nice.

[cross-eyed-twit]

a 98 car with 4000 on the clock. must have been sat in a garage doing nothing most of its life. what a complete waste. owners probably thinking about resale value instead of driving the damn thing. shocking.

I should imagine the 'premium' would deminish at about £2 per mile.

Green has to be the last colour on my list, A1 condition or not

Ah yes ... Rainforest green ... Um ..... The colour of my car.

Thanks Ace!!

Last colour on my list when paying £75K. I had actually considered buying a 993TT in green from paragon about three years ago and then painting it. They eventually sold it for £39K I think.

I do have unusual taste I'm told .. I'm not offended ...

I'm sure you'll understand why I chose the green when you hear that it matched the Savannah interior so well ....



maybe I should take out the tin of magnolia matt emulsion this afternoon

I'm in the unusual taste camp too - quite like it

Pricey for a 993 Turbo (non S). It's going to lose 25+k GBP over the next 50k miles - especially in that colour. Still rare to find them with such low mileage on.

[zcacogp]

That colour is NOT desirable?

Gosh. It would be on the very top of my list if I ever ordered one ... I happen to like green cars, and think that looks fantastic!

(I appreciate that these comments may make me look a complete twit as I know nothing about 911's and particular what colours are good and what are not. But I don't care!)

Happens to be my fav too Oli , I went looking for that colour (including Savannah interior) , and would choose the same colour combo on my next one if given the chance .... Keeps the sale price down nicely for me too!!

It's funny how this colour thing works ... the most desirable colour for MK1 Golf GTi's was Lhasa Green, which looks very similar to the colour in that photo (and happened to be the colour of the 2 Mk1 GTi's I owned. Perhaps that's why I like it so much.) Consequently Lhasa Green Mk1's changed hnads for a lot more than similar cars of other colours.

And yet, that colour on a 993 makes it undesirable? Odd. (Still love it!)

What's a "Savannah" interior? Mid Tan, I'm guessing. (Which would complement the green quite nicely!)

it does but the problem is Porsche colour code pretty much every part of the interior which is, for my taste, OTT

dysentery beige. more recently termed lemans bowel buff.

[khushy]

I would say that its shagged anyway - its not good to be sat around doing nothing for long periods.

Corrrosion - oil - petrol - rubber - brake discs - brake pads - all fluids.

Cylinder bores - turbo - all very fragile and designed to be run - not bloody stored.

£74,000 LOL!!!

More like £50k max!!!

As for the colour - I quite like it.
