They are already worth a lot more than normal 968's in Australia, and as for M030, for some reason there was only 14 ordered with that option.
Very much a future classic.Does it have air con?

No Aircon, just a shame it didn't have the sunroof delete and the LSD then I would have been in dreamland! The wind up windows are a real trip to the past!!!

Congrats! And I even like the color......no surprise there If you go 16 valve turbo I know you will really enjoy it. I was told my car had the clubsport seats and the original owner had them taken out to put Recaro's in *ouch*

Enjoy the car ...... even though the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Beautiful car! That is the exact color/interior combo I would want if I could get my hands on one. I would just rebuild the engine and drive it how it came from the factory. To me an essentially stock one is more desirable then a custom turbo build.

Hi George,
I am the singer for my sins. Please ignore the vid clip I was recovering from Glandular Fever which took me out for nearly 6 months!!
Thanks for the comments on the car

Thanks Solo,
This one will be kept bone stock, somebody had a phone fitted and that is going immediately! I have another CS in exactly the sam ecolour which was not kept so nicely. That one will be converted to 16v turbo. I am sure I will be asking for assistance from the guys who have done this when the time comes!
For now though I still need to finish the 951!
Cheers
Tom

I'll take some over the coming days for you Bill. Despite the low milage the velcro on the drivers front pad needs replacing. The seats have maching yellow hard backs

I guess if you're keeping it stock then there's an end to it but am I the only one who doesn't like the wheels?
