There's one of each at RSJ:

www.rsjsportscars.co.uk/opt/rsj_opt.htm

They are the same price?

Even for a 993 apologist like me that seems extraordinary. What is the relative rarity of these two? I thought they were both pretty rare motors.

PS Glenn, weren't you musing about a Turbo S a while ago?

Only 31 of the 993 TS. That car is sold now I think.

Good find !!!

Must admit, if it was any other colour than speed yellow, i'd be down there for a mews, nothing wrong with
the colour (as it's on my GT3) but don't think it's well suited to this car. Although would still
like to see it in the flesh......

Agree, though, weird that both car are now the same price, although would say that this is more
down to rarity than, ability.

Glenn, if you do get the chance, the car is worth looking at, purely as a benchmark. It has the correct interior and carbon bits...I am sure Joel would make you welcome.

Pretty much every option in the book (including back breaker suspension), and an extra £30k when new

the gt2 is my old one. if you are considering buying it, can you PM me and I'll give you my contact details. i would like first right of refusal when you come to sell it... it's such an awesome car, i'm fairly sure i'll own it again one day. and it is a stunner in the flesh too!

I saw that turbo S in Leeds a month or so back, I assume it is the same one RSJ sold a while ago?

Brave owner sending it to the OPC!!!!

Sorry Joel - I thought George told me it was sold!

From my recollection, the car is stunning - and I don't like SY cars usually!! Sounds much fruitier than most turbocharged 911s too.

Now how can you say speed yellow doesn't suit that car?

Very nice. But let's not forget you could get this for £60k too.

Hmmm, tough one...

Personally, I think you've just made a very good argument as to why not buy a Cayman.
