Beautiful car. Was that steering wheel an option when new?

Yes - apparently they did 3 types of this wheel - the most expensive being the 3 colour version - I think mines the most basic one - it’s OEM but made by an external company whose name escapes me - sorry.

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.

I know it looks incredibly new in the images - just hope it looks like this in the metal

Nice, matching ratchet straps Rich !!
Have a safe journey back

I think these are the actual seat belts - they cut them out to use as straps - very resourceful

You'll be able to ratchet yourself into the seat nice and tight now if you re-fit with them on

Don’t think I need seat belts - those puppies are a bit snug at the best of times

Either you've put a few Kgs on R, or Thomas has swapped the seats for something smaller
I'd say I'm chunkier than you (12 stone 5) , and they fit me like a glove ...
I think they're probably THE most comfortable seats I've experienced in ANY car, let alone a Porsche.

I was only kidding, I’m still super buff (well not really)

Well done OP - very pretty car in that colour! Concur that the seats are the most comfortable I have ever sat in - i am 14 stone and they fit like a glove but also work well with passengers who are not as fat

Oh wow, now that is a thing of beauty.

Closest I ever got to a 964 RS was sitting in a mate of a mate's at a wedding - we were both pissed and started talking cars, he was like, 'i've got the RS here if you want to see?'.

Switching it on and him giving it some revs, I could not believe how loud and raw/un-muffled the engine sounds compared to my previous 964 carrera. Worlds apart!!

Enjoy.

I’d been talking to TJS for some months about various cars and this one popped up on their Instagram feed as about to come into stock - it was the first car I’d seen (starting looking about 9 months ago) that looked like it ticked all the boxes (I’m very fussy) and as such, it was bought and on a trailer within a week or so. Just lucky timing really If you want one I’d start off speaking to Paul McClean at GT Classics - I know he’s sourced lots of these in the past.

So , this morning was the first time I got to see & drive car in real life - I’m absolutely over the moon with it - it’s soooo lovely - it’s immaculate and is a hoot to drive, also it sounds absolutely lovely (Has a cup pipe fitted) - I know it’s a cliche, but they really don’t make cars that feel like this anymore - I love it.

Next steps; geo and suspension check/overhaul if necessary & finally registration and then I can take it home

That does look like a cracker R, well done and good to hear it sounds like everything you were expecting and maybe more, really suits the yellow.
I assume you have got some stickers on order, and perhaps a name thought up ??
