Can anyone help me track down a photo of the 9 RHD Porsche 911 Turbo SE Cabriolets [flatnose] ever made?

I am told there were 9 made, but lots have been converted and it is hard to see the real ones from the converted ones.

Here is a starter (photos below):

1. White one sold by Bonhams recently
2. Light blue one courtesy of Gmund's website
3. Baltic blue/mag/black one courtesy of Gmund's website
4. Candy Apple Glory red testdriven in Summer 1988 Worldsportscars magazine
5. Candy Apple Glory red 89G car advertised in 1995 [this car wouldn't have been made by Summer 1988, so is it a different car?]

...so what are the other genuine ones?

Really never 'got' the flat nose. Guess it must be an acquired taste.

Might be worth going through the sold section on Gmund 's website, Andrew has had loads of flat noses in over the years.

There are 2 cars in Minerva Blue, we have had one of them (the one you have the photo off), that car has a black hood, the other car has a white hood. The Baltic blue one you have a picture off we sold to a customer in Hong Kong, so is out of the UK. I have some other pictures of others at the Dealership, so I will have a look tomorrow, I also thought there was 9 UK cars, but you never quite know ! Andrew.

A guy in Manchester had an ex motor show car in a light pink (no idea of the correct name!). I'm sure it was RHD but could be mistaken.

Andrew,

Brilliant, thanks. That would be great.

Two light blue cars - that hadn't occurred to me. Here is another pic of the light blue car above with white wheel centres with the black hood visible [from google, not mine].

Hi

Thank you for taking the trouble to put this on here. I have found this, which is probably the car.

I have also found this one [again on google, not my photo], but I have no idea if it is an original or a conversion:
