Something you don't come across too often, a delivery mile (sub 50), 964 Turbo S Lightweight!

The interior is clad almost entirely in leather - even the roll cage! A true time warp vehicle. If you have the cash hanging around, why wouldn't you?

Excuse the shoddy iphone photographs.

Wow that is a thing of beauty : Polar Silver was the perfect 964 , 911 Turbo colour. I love the air intakes above the wheels , the red leather is the perfect shade of opulent Lux & the Speedlines are stunning (best wheel on a 911 - period) Now where is that lottery ticket ......

It's jaw-droppingly gorgeous!

Makes you wish they were still in production. I'd buy one!

There's other similar gems where that came from if it's the car I think it is.

I saw the sister car a few months ago. Almost identical but in white. I believe the owner is keeping that car.

Must be just me then that doesn't get it. Yes, the exterior shape and colour are really nice but the burgundy wheels and gold callipers look awful and the interior looks like something out of Pulp Fiction. An excellent car ruined by bad taste ....all in my honest opinion of course.

A overdone show pony of a thing ain't it.

I wouldn't even bid £300k for it. I know its mega rare but £500k for a 911? You've got to be kidding! Buy a 964 C2 for road use or 964 RS for track work - both much for fun IMO.

Have to admit it looks sublime.

Would need a museum in my house first before if filled it up with minters to look at. This wouldn't be first on the list though.

Not completely convinced on the rubystone wheel centres but otherwise exquisite.

The problem is this not only is it the cost of the car but the chrome and glass environment in which it is presented that you would need as well to display it correctly.

Wish I had studied harder at school..

If that was covered in road grime and stone chipped and wearing the dead bugs from a 3000 mile jaunt across Europe and back I would find it more attractive..... I can't explain why though.

As it stands I covet it as much as I would any other car in the Porsche museum and I find myself thinking the same thing....it looks lovely but if it was mine, what the hell would I do with it?

Stunning, not sure about the full red interior, I'm sure I could live with it, though.

Some more information - it's 1 of 11 RHD cars and has never been road registered. (Source: Ti22's Instagram smile)

Awesome thing - thanks for sharing!
Love the red interior (always difficult to photograph) and it works particularly well with the silver.

If I'm being fussy, the purple wheels don't go (but that's easily changed) and a leather clad roll cage seems to be a bit at odds with itself, but very cool nonetheless.

Is Dick Lovett (snigger) an OPC?

Kind of agree re the wheel centres but having seen them in the flesh I'd keep them. They do kinda work plus you'd really need to maintain it's originality if buying smile

Yes, Dick Lovett have I think 4 Porsche dealerships amongst others.

Seems a crazy price when this is £150k less.
