Show your Speed Yellow Porsche
Discussion
Hi northandy, I bought the car last August, so i thought take off the plastic sills/arch liners etc etc and give it all a good clean. The car has only got mid 30s on the clock and has never seen a winter, so it was just a case of wipe the dry/dusty summer dirt thats settled over the last 12 years. To be fair the previous owner kept it in tip top order, i just decided to go the whole way and give it a good clean in those hidded places. I havent touched the engine bay other than to wipe the plastics.
To say i am staggerd at its condition is an understatement. My 20 month old 997S did'nt look this good when i sold it in 2007. All the exposed clips and fastenings had started to rust, not on this car though, they are factory fresh. I am a lucky boy!

Nice cars guys, maybe we should have a "yellow day meet" be a bit different than all Boxsters/993/996/968/Turbo's etc etc, lined up at PCGB shows. Colour code instead of model code the parking areas. Mind you, be a hell of a walk down the polar silver line (all models), you would need a packed lunch!
It's amazing just how different Speed Yellow looks on different cars and in different lights. I will confess that mine isn't Speed Yellow - it's not even a Porsche colour although it is VERY similar to Fly Yellow. It's actually MG Trophy Yellow and probably the only Porsche in the World in this colour.

Its a lovely car, i take it its not a daily driver?. I imagine it that condition it must be a possible depreciation free zone. Lucky boy indeed, thanks for sharing!To say i am staggerd at its condition is an understatement. My 20 month old 997S did'nt look this good when i sold it in 2007.
