Any of you lot bought this months (November) "911 & Porsche World" magazine?

There's a special feature on all Porsche Turbos
but I reckon they've made a mistake:

On page 72 (at the bottom) they've got a picture of what they've called the "993-model 911 Turbo 's'", however it looks far more like a 964 911 Turbo 's', as the headlamps are more vertical (like a 964) and they also have the colour-keyed finisher around the headlamps (which I don't believe a 993 would have)......

I'm no expert on these matters (so am fully expecting to get shot down here!!) but can someone knowledgeable clarify this for me??

Cheers.

I hope they have the values right - that is to say with the 996tt being the most valuable, and collectable of the lot !

A lot of the detail leaves a lot to be desired, yes that is a 964 and have the prices are wrong.
The 964 3.6 and 993tt are the ones that are likely to appreciate.
Look back about 10 days for previous thread on same subject

I think they got the 996TT values spot on, there are quite a few 2000 cars with 40,000 miles trading in the low thirtys. Obviously once the mileage goes above 50 the values plummet, and non metallic paint kicks them in the knackers. I just thank my lucky stars I went 997 when you went 996TT, my car's still worth 10 grand above list, regardless of mileage, even with all the stone chips.
