Hi,

Hope someone can help – I’m looking for a Porsche for a photo shoot. It’s for Classics Cars magazine, to illustrate a buyers guide, and there’s a choice of locations as we have access to studios in Hampshire or Norwich. If you want more of an idea of what we’re after, see the Maserati 3200 GT buyers guide on pp110-113 in the current issue of Classic Cars.

The car we are after is a ‘993’ model of the Porsche 911, either in GT2, RS or Turbo form. Yes, I know, nothing like making things hard for ourselves, but we want something that will really stand out on the page. Any volunteers? Please contact me either by replying here, or preferably direct by email at: too_plus_two@yahoo.co.uk

We will of course cover fuel costs, send a copy of the mag, and a CD of the professional photos taken.

I think you'll find you are mistaken Russ. A polar silver 993 targa looks much nicer and would stand out far better! biggrin

Thanks to all who responded – we now have a superb blue RS lined up for the shoot.

Now I need a volunteer for the'I Bought One' section of the feature. Quite simple – all it involves is a brief interview about your 993 ownership experience (which can be done by email if you like), and emailing me a decent shot of you with your 993.

Anyone feel like getting 15 seconds of fame?

Happy to volunteer! Not owned it very long, just long enough for a road trip to Spa and the Ring (including lappery of the Ring).

Fun though that sounds, I'd prefer someone who's owned theirs for a little longer so we get an idea of long-term realities. Any other offers?

If it's more of a running report feature you may be better off using a car that's used more than the blue RS above.
The blue RS only gets used for the odd track day and a trip to service / mot each year.
Having done only 15k miles since new it's not really a true reflection on real 993 ownership.

The targa above would be good or any other variant thats had proper use.
