Has the car always been Ireland based?
As I recall seeing a very,very similar car when it was virtually brand new outside House of Fraser In Cheltenham, pretty sure it was a 3.6 as I knew it was the latest 'incarnation' (I read a lot of 'Car' & 'Fast Lane at the time!)
Cant be many speed yellow ones!

I got George to inspect a 964 in Drogheda a few years ago. I had a deposit on a car which was refundable pending a PPI. George advised me to avoid. Knowing more now than I did then, I reckon he saved me a fair few grand.

the purists might complain but I like the colour coded rear spoiler and door handles, alos like the yellow piping and seatbelts, agree the gear lever gaiter and door openers have to change but that should be a cheap fix, steering wheel looks a bit odd, is it std?
still cannot quite understand how you managed to get that so cheap, don;t they normally go for 50-60?
