911 HUL

[anonymous-user]

Is this still the PGB press car?

I've just seen it on a grey 991 Turbo on Sandbanks, Poole and wondered.

[DasChin]

yup.

the turbo cars wear the 911 HUL reg

the GT/NA cars wear the 911 GB plate.

Many thanks.

I was unaware of the 911 GB plate.

Saw the 911 HUL car absolutely scream away from the grid at festival of porsche at Brands Hatch last year.... quite a launch!

GB plate was on a mexico blue 997 GT3 gen 2

I think it might be on the white 991 GT3 now

Interesting - I saw a white 991 GT3 about 4 weeks ago in the same place that I saw the Turbo today. Never saw the plate though.

Iconic plates and will conjure a different image depending on your generation.

For me this is 911 HUL...

Look at all the scrap in the rest of the picture!!
This is why supercars in the 1980's had a bigger bang than supercars do today.

You young whipper snapper!!!

I could hardly sleep when that car was current. The stuff dreams are made of.
It was circa £110k new 29 years ago.
That's £290K in 2015 Money.

Wonder what it's worth in today's money?

and on the 991 GT3 in white:

on the 991 GT3 RS when it comes out in a few months??

saying that its been on a 997 GT2 it seems (but as a rule on the NA cars):

for me the 911 HUL plate will always be the iconic 993 turbo in that dark cherry colour:

basically if you see 911 HUL or 911 GB you know its a Porsche GB official press car.

god 80s Porsche. they were just awful and they really lost their way then compared to the 70s gems

I remember seeing that car at Newmarket races once. Grew up there and used to see loads of great cars in the car park..
