Tidy.

Yeah, if you took the spacers off the back wheels, it might look slightly better, that's gotta be illegal as it stands .. wheels well outside of the arches

that sunroof ought to be illegal. looks gash

Shame about the Targa wheels though.

How crazy is the Porsche world that a non standard C2 with coming up to 100k miles is POA?

Only as crazy as having a 993RS you daren't use on track.

Targa split rims are my favourite wheel on a 993.

The grey interior is slightly more questionable- I reckon it just about works. Had a quick walk around a customer's new white-on-grey Cayenne yesterday, which really doesn't.

Also lovely.

I'd love an (Iris?) blue 993 Carrera 2. Or Speed Yellow.

Or.....

Delicious.

Personally I couldn't do a red Porsche. I like them in pretty boring colours, but then again, no matter how lairy the car, I usually want them in a subtle colour - gunmetal, sometimes silver, mid-to-dark blue, sometimes black, titanium.

Damn, just thought of 2 exceptions... A baked bean 996.1 GT3, or a 2.2/2.4 pre-IB 911.

I reckon I would buy a red Evora too but for virtually everything else that I might want - TVRs, Lotuses, Porsches, Astons, Ferraris, Masers - subtle colours.

Damn, just thought of another exception. I'm OK with orange. Major wantage.

i'm not usually a fan of red cars either. my elise is red, but then it's not exactly a buyers market where i live.

The 991 gts looks gorgeous in red.

I'm with you on that, even though I am a bit of a sucker for guards. Red Porkers run in our family. Dad had a lesser spotted guards 997.1, uncle a 3.2 Carrera. and now a 2.7 Caymen on teeny tiny wheels like Moosey's. Still haven't managed to prise the keys from his paw despite a few promises.

But for me generally, the more extreme the car, then the more subtle the colour. My Singer will be black or silver. Let the car do the talking, not the colour.

It does indeed.

My next door neighbour has recently bought this one. I'm not absolutely convinced by the black wheels, but it does look absolutely ace in the flesh. Apologies for the crap photo.

Green is the colour for a car. The more, the merrier.

Some may say it's unlucky, but that's like disliking a Friday because simply because it falls on the 13th day of the month.

Shouty car = SHOUTY colour.
