Fantastic find that car and looks amazing in that colour..964RS has usable poke unlike all the new mega HP twin turbo monsters..Probably a very safe place to put money into, even better than stocks and shares i'd say..!
Cheers Chap - very nice of you , really appreciate it Edited by Taffy66 on Sunday 6th October 11:17

Hi Sandy - hope your are well ; has that new RS arrived yet ?
I wish; my garage has those old fluorescent strip lights from the 70’s - no fancy lighting in my garage I’ll have you know .
There will be lots of driving - first trip will be to see Chris at CG
Still waiting on that, next month I'm told but we'll see..........I wish; my garage has those old fluorescent strip lights from the 70’s - no fancy lighting in my garage I’ll have you know .

CG would be a good start for sure, then pedal to the metal

It was a fly yellow 964RS that started me down this journey-I remember it had speediness with colour matched centres and a yellow Blaupunkt radio to match! The owner kindly took me out for a few laps around Oulton to get a feel for it. Wanted one ever since.

Even I know this one is too classy for stickers (s
t should have bought a 964 cup car !!!)
If you get 5 mins can you re send me “the post” - I’d like to add it to the front of the history file - I know you’ve sent it me before but I’ve lost it

Here you go :
"Somnambulant spears of sheer sunlight streak and shriek as an orange orb crests its head above the hazy horizontal horizon of England’s eastern extremes. All at once the light laps upon a coruscating cube shifting at some speed across the flatlands of the uberFens. Manipulate your mind palace to zoom in on this pacey pedalling and your eye will espy that a soul is being stirred here.
The svelte beast that scythes through the green sheet of the corpulent countryside is none other than Stuttgart's latest nubile and stripped out Beetle, and this time around it’s more businesslike than Branson’s briefcase.
When I fired the fob in the twilight, first encounters were with a hunkered down menace, more poised than a porcelain panther with a sturdy stance and sleek surfacing hiding an inside as sensible as an accountant’s aunt, and wheelarches more plumped up than porn star's bra.
The super unleaded ingesting engine ignites in an instant and initial impressions reveal a talented transmission and a clutch as snappy as a shark in Snappy Snaps. A ride guaranteed to keep you on first name terms with your chiropractor just adds to an act as sharp as a scalpel.
Now we get to the only question that matters: How does the latest RS handle a helming? There’s only one way to peel this puppy. So it is that I find myself facing the rapacious rock face of the finest wheelman’s playground the East Midlands can provide, and straight away, the RS bares its soul. When the blacktop starts to buck, the engine talks the torque and the gearshift slides through the gate like an oiled adder on acid. Better yet, the chassis stays classy in the face of firm questioning, keeping as poised as a porcelain panther and delivering a black rubber bear hug to the broken blacktop below.
Entering an especially nuggety complex the nose dives in like an apex-crazed Tom Daley when all at once I back off the gas hammer. In a split second the Soul drops a shoulder and the tail gets waggy. I simply catch it with a dab of oppo and I’m away."

What an amazing car R....,many congratulations! I went to the Bicester Sunday Scramble this morning...Porsche parking was a see of Black/Grey/Silver and White with a couple of exceptions...most modern Pork is really quite dull to look at. Your new toy looks absolutely stunning.
So true.Oversize, laden with numerous vents, dominated by huge wheel/tyre sizes, ugly spoilers, air dams and splitters. Questionable interiors too.

That would be Kevin's car, now with a new owner.But Kev is a good driver, he's now playing with a 964 Cup car. He has the 964 bug bad !

Judging from the superb condition of your RS it looks like its just rolled off the production line..When i buy any used car i tend to scrutinise the interior as that's where you usually find signs of a previous owner's abuse..The interior of this car looks like brand spanking new..Its quite a remarkable find IMO.
