Rare? Scary more like. I could probably just about live with the car, but how in the hell did anybody drive off from the showroom once they had seen the interior and seats?

Hmmmm.

Not keen on the outside.

The inside remonds me of a vauxhall cresta.

TIPTRONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheap though.

Respray, new gearbox and black interior would make it a sexy car.

Love the exterior, interior would be better all black, but a lovely looking car IMO

Great looking car IMO, however if the deal was right and you could live without the car for a week or two I think you'd be surprised at how reasonable prices would be for an interior re-trim in Black, leaving the odd green accent of course.

Have seen this in the flesh so to speak. In fact, I was offered it as an alternative when I found out the nice Zenith blue Cs didn't have A/c. Can't blame 'em I suppose but my missus soon put them right!

Seconded. Am I missing something here?

It's a tiptronic 993 (albeit an S) in a horribly pukesome colour.

And all for just 50k! Don't get it.

I know of the car, and the tale goes that the original owner was a gentleman from the middle east who only had a licence for an automatic, Porsche didn't build an auto 993 turbo so he specced up a 2S to a high spec.
It is a lovely car in the flesh, just intensely minty!

Which co-incidentally a friend used to own...

It was actually a STUNNING car, I would happily own it if it was only a car for days off and so on, but maybe not for every day!
