anyone any idea how much something like this should cost?

I can't imagine that it was the best ever idea to give a 993 cabriolet that much oomph in the first place... but it's a good collector's item i should imagine!

It should only cost a couple of quid as it looks like a dogs dinner. That spoiler and the hood cover just do not work.

According to the ad it only has 360, although I suspect this is wrong.

Believe its correct - Porsche did build them.

The Sultan of Brunei wanted a turbo cab and asked Porsche to build - they declined - so he asked how many he needed to order for them to build him one. I think the answer was 10 - so he bought 10.

Believe this one is available at circa 80k

IIRC it was a 993 narrow body cab with the previous generation 3.6 single turbo engine, hence the power output. So a bit of a dog's dinner but, quite rare......

Has been covered before http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... but this is the first time a RHD version has been mentioned. Would be interesting to see the VIN.

IMHO there is a lot 'wrong' with that car...

still if it floats yer boat.....

You could buy a nice clean 993 C2 cab and a nice clean 993tt for the same amount of cash.

One would be better for the pose, one would be faster, and both would be better to drive i'm sure!

I remember seeing a rare porsche once that wasn't originally (may perhaps have been) ordered by him, lol. Not that I'm saying this one wasn't, but it does make me laugh.

Ohhhhh, I'm tempted, not sure though. Hang on The Sultan might have ordered it! Quick, here's my credit card.
