My car has a very peculiar story and I purchased it from a Porsche employee (still working at PAG today).


With the car I got copy of an internal PAG production document with all the production numbers (not the VIN) of the 20 + 1 993 GT of model year 1998.


Actually only 20 received a VIN and were sold to customers ... mine is the 21st production number: 148 1***.


I still use it as it was intended to and track it from time to time.


Engine is non-stock by RS Tuning. Front and back spoiler are original EVO from Porsche Motorsport.


A couple of pictures; hope you will like them ... not a garage queen, for a change!
Cebe,
Glad you are enjoying your Porsche as intended. A terrific and rare example. Enjoy.

+1 that's the one built by the Porsche employee? I recall you posting about it a while back.

Prices referenced in Euro's as so few are in the U.S.

Remember, only a total of 193 Strassenversions (street) built between 1996-98. Certainly one of the rarest and most desirable Porsches ever and when viewed through the lens of their contemporaries from Ferrari and others, likely significantly undervalued still.
I think prices will increase once collectors in USA realize they can bring these cars stateside without any modifications. I for one would never buy a car that went through JK Technologies conversion. I am sure there are other collectors out there who also want to buy unmolested cars, which i think only means one thing: more customers wanting these cars, same number of cars as before.

Yes it is.

A few more pictures from the trip back from Stuttgart to South of the Alps ... over 300 miles and many smiles.

Very interesting details. Such as the wing extension on passenger (righside) is bolted to the inside of the wing upright and on the driver side it is on the outside of the upright.

Thanks for sharing more photos!

I think it's a "diptical" illusion. Both side appear the same.

I think one should ALWAYS read any car description for what is NOT SAID as well as what is stated. Reading Thomas's descriptions he is very forthcoming about all 'first paint' or the car's history, so when those terms are missing, caution suggests that those characteristics do not apply.
This is tipical for german dealer
ask me what you want to know otherwise is your problem

That is a correct observation. It's set up this way because they simply take the wing that fits between the uprights of the base and raise it with the inserts which are attached to the base. The only way to set the inserts both inside would be to use a narrower wing or to set the inserts both outside would be to use a wider wing or add extensions to the inserts.
