Check out this '7-2, just lovely on sport classic wheels and tartan interior, including tartan frunk lining, and tartan handbook wallet!

Shame it is in Texas..but was tartan an option on 997, or is this a special wishes car?

Yellow side indicators are standard on all North American Porsches...regulation.

Not sure about the tartan, but I always liked the black/white Pascha check on my 1984 SC.

I'm loving that.

It does feel very slightly wrong though.

Early Gen 2 car specs seemed to be a bit of a crossover, not a Gen 1 wheel per se, more a facelifted version of it, can be seen on this car too :

I was thinking 1980's Audi Quattro but not the horror story I was expecting..

Now that's odd - was it an option? Mine is an early (Sept '08) Gen 2 and it has the 'normal' Gen 2 wheel with circular boss.

I think that wheel you're referring too was the Sport Design option? My ge 2 Cayman has the gen 1 wheel, all the better for it as it's nice and slim smile

I love the understated non S in silver thing combined with the subtle sonderwunsch stylie tartan and wheels, and no duck. I'd love it to be my next dd. But then I also love Macadamia and Lime Gold Metallic.. :-)
