This looks good, pre 89.

Iv been looking for a 993 but do browse all cars for sale as most do and I think this looks good.

Very nice. I like the "pure" lines of that - quite subtle.

[Crimp a Length!]

Does look good and good value
It has the 17" fuch replica's on that look great IMO.

[Meldonte]

That looks flippin' lovely

[mollytherocker]

If that is as described then it is a chuffing bargain!

I want it!!!

[dugsud]

If that really is rust-free (which I doubt) it's a steal!

[Longman66]

17's fako's on an IB look great but 15's are the consensus for ride/handling no? , 2k for a set of 7's and 8's by 15 in minto nick yeah?

I agree, but get that rear badge put in the right place, it looks awful so low down.

[mollytherocker]

Damn it! Keep looking at this car! Its a shed right? Somebody tell me its a shed!!!!

[drmark]

He says he bought it from RS 911 in Wales (classic Porsche restorers / repairers).
It could be as good as it looks.....

+1. I wasn't in the market for one of these but that is very tempting.

Join the que!!haha

I want to go and look at this and the 993 at portiacraft today.

[P1ato]

That looks great too! Let us know how you get on. Good luck.

That does seem very reasonable and extremely good value if it is as described. I would be amazed if it was rust free, but RS911 do have a good reputation.

But these cars can hide some expensive nightmares, take a look at these photos of the restoration job PC Chester are doing pc chester pics. This car was brought for £10K and from some photos doesn't look too bad as it was delivered, it was still shinny, but see what was underneath!!!!

[Bund]

Jeez! The guy isn't adverse to an inspection so a good Indy or P Morgan would highlight these issues? How much of the rust would have been seen before stripping on that blue?

Always interesting to see a full bare-metal resto... what does a job like that cost to do?

Are 993's prone to under body rust?

We were over there for a visit and they were looking at 300 hours at least, I don't think there would be any change out of £30-£40K

They don't seem to be and not in the same way. They have the usual problems around the windows and scuttle? plus the door check straps.

I have seen a couple with dodgy sills though.

993s have wheel arch liners , thats 75% of the battle one , against the dreaded orange stuff

Yes 993's are prone to rust on the leading edge of the rear arches and round the front screen
