Here's one I took a couple of years ago;

They look quite similar "sized" to me. The only real difference is the more bloated styling of the newer model to accommodate a bigger boot and more rear headroom.![](http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz311/kamilb1998/My%20Jaguar%20XJ40/23974_1199025230809_1683894409_3894.jpg)

Leg, you wouldnt have happened to be a former TTForum user (possibly still do)?. That garage/M3 triggered a memory from a build thread on there. Random I know, as its been about 6 years since I was on there, but something seemed familar.
Yeah, I am he mate. I was on the club commitee and wrote for the magazine. When I first bought this house I still had my mk1 v6 TT. A black one with red leather and bbs wheels. It was in the magazine and quite well known. Weirdly I sold it 4.5 years ago and came across it 4 weeks ago just 3 miles away.My JCW Mini has gone now too. New 981s has replaced it.

I don't have a photo but the latest 911 looks like a big old blob.
Be interesting to see one next to an early model.
From previous page - 993 vs 997 Be interesting to see one next to an early model.

Okay, so not the latest 991 (but close enough to the 997) - but the 993 is essentially the same shell as the original...
