Default Interesting cab FS in Calgary, Canada

Unusual color combo, beautiful car, and reasonable price. From dashboard, it is a Canadian car, not a US import. Must be a rare bird...

Nice catch and very cool. Although 14 of the 2,008 North American 968 cabs came with Magenta interior only 5 of them were paired with Grand Prix white (and a matching magenta top). 3 of the 5 went to Canada! 3 of the 5 were tips. That one is NS840702. Loaded example. Note the sport seats.

Great! Do you have the options list?

I can't tell these are sports seats, the angle of the interior shot isn't right, but I suppose you could tell by the said list?

Yes, all 55 canadian cabs had rear seats.

No factory US rear seat cabs

I know what you are getting at Raj. The 92-early 94 is the same old rear seat as the 944 cab. I have one in the back of Minty. Of the 55 Canadian cabs, 50 of them were the early style with the 944 cab style rear seat.

That leaves 5 late ones. The 3 94s (which were late non-718 cars) and the 2 95s would have had a rear seat to match the 993-style comfort bucket. I'm guessing it would work just like the coupe. That said, I have not seen any of the 5 in the many years that I have been tracking them. So sorry, no photo

There was a white and magenta cab for sale here a few years ago but I thought it was an auto not manual. Needed some work to get right. Believe it was female owned. This might be a different car - because of manual transmission. The owners of the shop it is serviced at post on Rennlist. Maybe they can vouch for the cars condition
