Keeping the aero mirrors was also a strange choice, and they could have done a lot better than those wheels if they're going for the fake Singer look.
But the engine and underneath are super clean to be fair.

This is absolutely gorgeous
ok, I'd change the wheels, but the rest is very much exactly how I could have commissioned it. Stunning!

You’d have thought they would have zero’d the odometer.

[Cleanhands]

Is that power figure correct, or have they just put the standard power as none was stated?

You are right. The standard 964 3.6 makes 250hp, the ad states that the engine has been rebuilt to

.

The `standard` 993 RS has 300hp. I suspect with a Motec ECU and new exhaust this will be around 320hp.

Remember this one....

But nobody wants to run around in an old 911 with a Q registration number do they!

The only criticism is the seats don't match any of the interior. Almost like an afterthought.

I'm with you on the seats. It looks like they couldn't find the correct material, so they decided to go the "contrast" route instead.

To me the front and rear wheel arches don't look right, likewise the sills and front bumper.

Thats the issue with using a non impact bumper model, they look ever so slightly odd/bulbous, probably something to do with the uncanny valley.......if there is such a thing for inanimate objects.

Just noticed its an 82, so no idea why it looks a little different in terms of shape. That inlet manifold is also from a 964 no?

I guess so, maybe they first went for all black-ish porsche classic buckets, then wanted something fresh/colorfull and came with that, it can still be good, but then you need the doorcards also in that sort stuf and also the dash strip from left to right in such woven like brownish leather, like many Singer cars use, to get a more fitting contrast, or how you say such.

example see>> seats + doorcards and dash part.

Induction system is from these guys :

The inlet runners look remarkably similar to the Mk1 or Mk2 996 GT3 items.
