Thank you!
I was told it is one of the last port car and no re-converted.

A crying shame. The car has no race history. It should be driven and enjoyed.

The above, of course is one man's opinion. Yours may vary.

Congrates on the purchase! For many, the answer will be obvious, but what made _you_ decide to buy this car? Are you a collector?

Congratulations, may you have many happy years with it.

You also own an equally spectacular 993 RSCS, correct? Please feel free to share pictures of it in this thread.

It was my understanding it was at Andial to be converted when the series was canceled, transported to Brumos for public sale, bought and sent back to Andial to be converted to series spec. So your info is correct no re-conversion. A great time capsule.

amazing this was right in my backyard, at mayo, and now it's in HK. missed my opportunity to see it firsthand and it was likely there the last time i was at mayo. kind of a shame that a Cup car will remain unused and with such limited mileage. at a certain point though, they become too valuable to drive - if you follow that line of thinking.

Gorgeous example, and I understand its insane monetary value... But I guess I'd rather see it driven and wrecked then never driven at all. Can't help but be a little sad when I see them like this, not what the engineers ever intended.

It was at Mayo's for years, under a car cover. So you most likely saw it and walked around it a few times.

Do you have more detail on this car show? Again, I will be in HK-China second half of Dec. Hopefully I can attend the show(if it's open to public)

The sounds of this car is amazing. Congratz.

(I heard you guys speaking Cantonese and a girl was speaking mandarin. Were you guys in mainland, or still in HK? Just curious)
