Did you have to post that Melv? I have been looking at the 2 x T4 S in the OPC network with mileages in their 20's for £10k more, telling myself not to be so silly I am happy with what i have!

Looks very similar to Paul Riley's (944/68) car. I know he was looking at selling it.

I think a 993 turbo S would be a worthy addition to your garage harem, should compliment the RS nicely.

Looks very similar Daz, I really thought Paul had less mileage on his.But then again it would be very easy to pile the miles on with one of these!

That is stonking

Remember reading the review in Performance Car in 96/97(?) of the turbo S, the car was the same speed yellow colour, and made the front cover of PC. Awesome

Iguana will have tarmacced a few more drives and got a deposit down by then.

Not to worry. Those seats looked like the bastard child of a DFS Armchair and one of Claire Rayner's bewinged sanitary products. What's wrong with Recaro buckets, I ask you?

Different kind of car Dom,,,the S is Bling-tastic and is the opposite of the RS they tried to make it as flashy & heavy as possible,,,loads of carbon fibre inside where the RS doesn't bother with such things.

The car was originally £130 grand when new in 1998, the type of well healed business fat cat who could pay over the odds was clearly far too lardy to fit in the bucket seats.

I will check it out, always looking at a deal but I prefer the black metallic one in the Porsche OPC to be fair.
daz it would make an even more interesting "convoy"!

CS, you thinking turbo S over a 993 GT2??


Dom obiously im in the market curently for a £60k porker but nah not in yellow- uggh, (arena red is the top banana 993T colour for me- GT3 in yellow however is a big lizard yes) mind you if they moved the decimal point to the left one place I'd just have to put on my running shoes to beat CS there & go for it

Ahh but its only on the 993 that im not a big fan of yella. On a GT3 it looks fab & also- as per the pic, it looks fab IMHO on a 965T, also looks good on a 968CS& a couple of other pork products.

Infact a certain speed yella 965 3.6 has a special place in my heart, first car I ever drove over 180 in ahh the memory's

Edited to add-

Anyway Gary I forgot- im not talking to you, after you selling that old banger of yours somewhere other than through Lizard Enterprises and thus depriving the poor Geckos of any xmas prezzies this yr.....

Went and saw it today. Too much yellow for me. Not only is the outside yellow but it also has seat backs, seat belts and instrument faces in yellow!! Every car had about 3 signs with do not touch on them and nobody else was in the showroom but still the sales people managed to stay in their offices and completely ignore me.

Bizarrely, Stratstone in Wilmslow have an identical car. For £69,995 !



15% plus difference to the Talacrest one...

What chance an identical car for sale at the same time?

Is that Speed Yellow, or is it a special order colour?

The brakes look like Speed Yellow, but the bodywork looks like a pale yellow?
