I viewed a car there once. Was advertised as 1 owner......The reg doc had 5 owners,
They told the truth, it did have 1 owner...only one person owned the car at the time

fpsh,....Not a single service stamp
I am sure if you went back they could arrange for a full book of stamps for you.


Zato said:
very good spec.......And specific spec i asked about missing.
the specific spec you asked about had its invisible cloak on, that is the reason the asking price went up whilst you were looking at it.

I drive past everyday in my 911 and never feel like stopping for a friendly gander.

I will however be breaking into the porsche museum tonight and swapping this for my 996 turbo before I leave stutgart

How does that reconcile to the 22 or so that we're said to be RHD UK cars. I have a mint speed yellow one from DK. I see adverts for a jade green and another speed yellow (probably the one on this thread) and saw two more in storage in the north west and two blue ones for sale in the south! That is 7 I can vouch for and given rarity I surely cannot be that lucky to see them all or the numbers don't add up.!?!?

My guess would be identity error - 6 to 8 sounds more like number of UK RHD 993 GT2s

Arena is a fantastic colour for a 993 IMO.

It might depend whee you view them from (iPad 3 in my case) but those pictures make it look pinker than arena normally does, but also the interior looks grey in two shots but in the passenger door card shot it looks like rubicon (purple-ish) which I'm not sure would go well with arena. There's also evidence of far more gravel rash than I'd expect at the bottom of the NSF wheel arch, but it could be just dirt I guess. I know I'm being picky but at the price I'd expect anyone to be. smile

I have seen this car. The owner wants £125,000 and has been for sale at this price for some time. Lovely car but seen similar cars sold for many many thousands less.

Seen this car for sale at a few dealerships in last 12 months - does it belong to someone on here?
Hi, this is the first time I have seen these posts on here regarding this car and am a little concerned to read these posts. The car is my father's and I feel that the record should be set straight for anyone wishing to know the correct details for this car. The car is straight with no hidden history and the full history of the car has been researched by ourselves, which we are happy to divulge. I have all of the details and if anyone requires details about the car please email me at stuart_raine@hotmail.com

Please note, official porsche club figures are that 33 UK cars were sold and we have seen or know about most of those cars. I am happy to speak further about the cars we have seen or know about.

Mmmm. Interesting first post Stuart.

Forgive my cynicism, but your post will be read in this way by many on here.

Instead of asking for an email, why not put all of the details and history up on this thread? You have nothing to hide and you want to sell the car right?

So let's here all of the detail you have. It could well secure a sale.

I would be more concerned about a sale or return at HWM than any of these posts.

Next thing you know it will be on sale or return at Verdi Ferrari.
