Sorry but that is just wrong.
It's obviously an 80s 911 with a kit that attempts to make it look like a 993, and doesn't succeed... I'd prefer the original non-bodykitted car then...

Bet it wasn't black when it left the factory ...

Hold on - if it's a 1998 then it's a late 993. A late 993 turbo for 20k?

I'm guessing it's 1988 - but 20k for a pre-89 turbo is OK isn't it?

Its not a 993 - wipers are wrong - probably 1988.

LOOKS ALONE IN MY OPINION !!! LOOKS ONLY, ITS ONLY £18K

[CraigW]

look at the interior, its a 3.2 carrera or 930 turbo.

I agree - looks like a *lot* of car for that money. If that mileage is genuine it's gotta be a bargain.

Missing the point.......looks alone, i reckon it looks very very nice....the exterior looks good from the pics any how...nice and tidy and clean..dont know anything about the mechanics or history..bloody hell its only 18 grand..what does that buy you ???

[supermono]

50k spent? On what? He could have bought a really nice 996 turbo for that much, or a 993 if he really wanted the capri dashboard.

Point is, it isn't a 1998 car. It's a 1987/1988 Carrera or possibly (but unlikely) a Turbo of that era.

So what you've got to buy it on is condition, forgetting everything else. I'd want to hpi it on chassis number and plate, ensure that the numbers match, and if it is a "bitsa", that it has the correct running gear to handle whatever (real) power it has.

I'd want it up on ramps and have someone who knows Porsches thoroughly check it over...

it's wearing an E plate which is 86...

[Crimp a Length]

bloody ugly, just doesn't look right the geometry looks pissed to me.
I suppose just like 3.2's to look like 3.2's same with 930's a lot nicer and will gain a lot more respect from Pork lovers long-term

'86 was C or D plate. E was '87 or '88....

Nope - 1986 is C or D

Edited to say - beaten to it!

Personally agree that it looks good and if the car is mechanically sound could be interesting, though not for the purists
