Default Werkfoto 964 Turbo

Hi, I have found these nice photos in the folder distributed to the press at Frankfurt Auto Show in 1990 I have recently acquired. Hope you like them!

Here's my pic of a 3.3turbo abandoned in Kuwait when the oil market crashed. Owner split. They said the car was used in the original 1990 porsche ads and auto shows back in the day, same car?

Sitting in a lot in Kuwait behind a huge warehouse of stuff that was abandoned by an oil sheik near the US Navy facility. Pic is about 6 mo old, there was a Ferrari or two as well, equally as disheveled.;(

I don't think these are the same car.

The press release's car has no sunroof, nor main light cleaning system (very unusual for a Turbo). Also, I don't see a rear wiper.

I have the pictures of the white car. They used the same pictures there were the three in total that were printed on an envelope sized card that came in a promotional package they mailed out when they first introduced the new turbo. On the backs of the cards they had little bits of information. I was immediately in love with the 964 turbo when I saw them. The next day I received a call from a business relation who knew I liked Porsche's and asked if I had received the same package. When I said yes he dropped the bomb that he had just ordered one in black. The individual is no longer with us but his son still owns the car.

Wish they offered no sunroof option here. Although it shows up on the window sticker and option list you had to buy it with a sunroof in the US.
