Just flicking through 911 & P World, came to page 139 and nearly died in my chair!
Mr Raby must have received a serious back hander to try and make a C4S (with a turbo S badge on the back) sound like a better purchase than a TURBO 4!

It's got Blue and Wood trim! It's £52,995!
Henry had a genuine Turbo S for the same money!
I just feel I need to tell someone. I'm cancelling my subscription immediately.

Noticed that myself.

There was an Aventura Turbo 4 a while back advertised in 911 and P world for about £4K more than its advert in the Motor section of the Sunday Times a few weeks earlier!!

Why? Do peple think because its a magazine read by P nuts that we will pay through the nose, drop our trousers and self apply the vaseline? Crazy!

MOD.

& Porsche Post too. Mind you, after trying to sell the overpriced car for 6 months you'll be surprised what they'll eventually accept for the car ...so always keep your back issues and follow up a nice looking but overpriced car
