Andy you are so right....who on earth went for grey when these beasts were new !! The John Major effect I suppose. I very nearly went for a 964 or 993 in 2007, I looked at lots of cars, but all I kept finding was marble grey interiors and to re trim a 911 is very £ expensive.

Have you a photo of the 2 blue exterior colours you mention ? Are they BMW colours ?
Hi looks nice and not far from me ,I will go and have a look in the week but IMO its way over priced original wheels ?
Let's find out ?.
I have found a full but and bolt strip down plus new paint 4.5k cheaper that I am viewing next weekend and a few more ??

Thanks for that .

If that means it's rebuilt and under 14k that's a proper proper bargain. Buy two! The cheap (under 10) precats or 93/94 500s that were about maybe 12-24 months ago have just disappeared.
yes andy but still requires a few things doing to it which I don't mind if it the one for me :-)

You might want to take a look at mine, it is in Maserati/Ferrari "Blue Mediteraneo" I just grabbed a red Griff with black roof and interior and modified it into my dream-Griff. The interior is cognac nappa leather now, in my eyes a combination that succeeded pretty well. Take a look at this thread; http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
THREAD HI-JAK laugh

Nice though , I am going to look at a viper blue one on Saturday and hoping if its a "mint" car I can do the interior like that bet that will cost a few grand ?

Well I went to see the viper blue griff on sat 6.5 hr round trip , the guy has spent a lot on it over the 6 years he has owned it , the chassis has completely been shot blasted and zinc primed painted silver new bushes etc , I would have liked to have seen new shocks and disks :-) the car sounds sweet and looks fab but at £14.5 k I would need to do a complete new interior and dash and the fact it's on a J plate is a hard decision to May have to keep looking !! It has been the closest one yet for me to buy other than that red one YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE ! :-) lol
