Was listed privately a couple of months ago on another site, saying that it might have been a different car as the price was significantly lower biggrin

It's a complete mess. Can't believe anyone would even attempt to sell that thing.

Everything looks saggy and ill-fitting. Theres not one thing that looks right, ride height, interior, that god-awful steering wheel, wheel width, front led fogs - all look shocking. The front valance looks like its been left in the oven tool long, in fact the whole car does.

I mean just look at the badge stuck on the drivers seat!!! lol

Imagine what its like in the flesh.

Decklid lettering – raised decklid lettering finsihed in 24k gold = $5000

Dash emblem – Singer script finished in 24k Gold with “reimagined” in deviating finish/deleted = $2200

Decklid badging – Singer script finished in 24k gold = $2200

near as damn it $10K on badges?!

its nice, but also scary to own, remember those days they stole the golden clocks out Maserati's , at least it was going on back in the days I've heard long time ago.

….. and tacky £4.99 stickers on the doors - for those who don’t know it’s a PORSCHE.

I think when I looked at them the base conversion cost c. 350 or 375k USD (vs the 475k mentioned in the advert), but the 4L engine upgrade was another mid- to high-double digit figure from memory

a lot of work went in, sadly a bit out of the 911 style, its...
some things are nice, but some outside things look wrong, although its 'good'

maybe it has cost more then the asking price, but still.

Christ Almighty! Have people no taste anymore? WHY WHY WHY. I presume the cost of the abomination above you could have bought a 964 and a GT3 RS! It's utter madness.

Where you do start with that ? eek

It doesn't look right at all on the 19" wheels. But talking of wheels, my car has the 7x15" and 8x15" anyone got any idea of which tyre is best aside from the pirelli P6000?

Cinturato come in 7’ width, don’t know about the 8’s. Check with Longstone, they’re the best people I’ve come across for tyres for this age of car.
