Is that Stefan1's old car with the decals stuck on?

If it is, then it has also had the mirrors, front intake area, dive planes and wing end plates changed to silver - all were black on my car (which, as you rightly say, had no decals).

Looking closely at the photos in the ads, one of them is of the interior and appears to show a black wing mirror - so probably a photo from their library when they sold my car.

One other point - on cars that came with the front decals, the decals were under the lacquer (presumably to protect them from fraying / chipping). I wonder whether the application of the decals on this car has been done the same way...if it is indeed my old car with the decals added.

They sold one that was advertised at 350 about 12 months ago, but I believe they failed to sell the same car again for 375 a few months later.

I am now fairly certain it is my old car - the car's number in the ad, 441, is the number on my old car.

You are right that the car was advertised for £350k and sold close to that at this time last year.

Whoever buys it will end up with a wonderful motor. I now have my 991 RS, which is superb, but it cannot match the raw feel of the 4.0.

You're a lucky man - although I doubt luck played much of a part. Awesome car. Not sure if it is worth £75K more than when you had it.

Porsche ownership is eye opening for someone like me. I always "wonder what that guy did to earn that sort of money". Not from a jealousy perspective but rather a "hats off" perspective.

(for the record - just sold my business and now going into property)

For whats its worth, I like your colour taste better. The sliver bits and decals don't sit right for me with blue. Plain and black all day long.

Stunning motor. Can only dream. Bet the RS is a hoot?

It looked much, much better before!

Was your car 'as factory' Stefan, or did you remove decals and add the black bits (hence why it's now reversed)?

My car was delivered as shown from the factory. The original invoice shows the paint and black contrast options.
