The word to describe that thing rhymes with marmite. I will give you that!

That's the Carisma one done by Jamie shaw. Done when 993's weren't worth much. The guy has amazing trimming skills but with porsche, like VW modifying, less is more

I think he completed a Cerbera as well which was equally divisive.

Looks like its all been ripped out.

Buyers are gravitating towards the original, simple and basic purity of the car.

Theres many reasons for this and some of it is trend. A 1965 911 on steels is uber cool.

Yup Molly agreed. Spending 150+k for what he describes as 'recreation' or whatever it is is suicide.

The build quality as Berty37 said isn't good either

Just seen an Autofarm car and it's different gravy . Gotta say that's where my cash would go for a restored car

Having seen the previous 'recreations' this is worse still .
Let's just hope Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles are interested .
Oh, and they have RAC breakdown cover !

Small World, met a previous Paul Stephens customer randomly y'day at snetterton who'd also had his pants pulled down .
How do these people stay in business ???!!!!!

[993kimbo]

Un-educated fashion victims with more money than sense keep people like this in business.

[dank]

Don't understand why people want to 'modify' Porsches at all....hideous creations....

Well those days maybe numbered as word travels and clearly he's a serial shafter .

This guy had agreed an all in Price for a car and its modifications which also included him PXing a Cayman S. Despite shaking on the all in price Stephens now in possession of the Cayman and cash started demanding even more money claiming he was losing money on the deal. So much for knowing your Market!
He did exactly the same to me.

Explains why you don't see many of them on the road.

How can you do this to a poor innocent 993?

I know we generally frown on backdated, however I saw a blog post from Williams Crawford on a tatty SC that they lightly backdated as well as restoring. Outcome looks pretty good to me. Would it be a sin to own one of these because I suspect its what I really want.
