Anyone on here? I recognise the garage in the background as being in a few ads for Porsches on here so thinking dealer but says private?
Car looks nice and well done although maybe just a conversion on the face of it without any mechanical overhaul hence price?

I'm not aware of any 993 RS's supplied with a sunroof, plenty with "Comfort" seats, aircon, electric windows, but none with a sunroof.
Shame it's black and RHD, otherwise it's lovely looking piece of kit. Though some images of the rear carpet conversion would have been good, and some details of the service history too.
As you've said, the lack of detailed information on that front could mean there's some mechanical refurb work required. But on the basis the dampers have been replace, along with the brake calipers, one would like to think the rest of the suspension and brake componentry have been suitably refurbished at the same time too.

Black on Black will always be a winning colour combo. If the history stacks up then not unreasonably priced IMO for a slightly modified C2 6 Speed Coupe.

Not sure about this comment:

"The wheels are superb Speedline replicas that don’t have all the inherent corrosion and leakage problems of the originals."

OEM Speedlines are very strong and I've never had problems with leakage or corrosion, particularly once you remove the horrid factory applied lacquer and protect accordingly.
Replica's are replica's and are not forged like OEM, they are cast and manufactured with a lower grade of aluminium.
