Default New addition to the "family"

I went out to buy a new watch and came back with another 911, she's gonna kill me!!

Anyway it's not a 964 but another classic it's a 1988 911 Supersport, it's lovely!!

Needs a full bare metal respray and retrim like my 964 but more standard than that.

Looks like I'm gonna be a busy boy!!

Some pics for ya.

Looks great. What makes it a Supersport, if you don't mind a naive question?

I seem to remember reading not more than 30 mins ago that you had already overspent the budget for your beautiful interior but have managed to pick up another P-car on the side. Nice one!

A Supersport is the model due to it basically being a Turbo with the Turbo engine, it gets the brakes, suspension, gearbox etc from the 5 speed Turbo but the 3.2 engine.

It felt great on the road too!!

What I meant Jim, was that my ideal amount of money was 2k for my retrim including the seats but it went over that by about 600 due to the carbon handbrake and gearlever but without them I'd have made it possibly!!

I originally went out to buy a new watch and ended up buying this!!

I went out once to buy a new water pump impeller for my ski boat and came home with a 26' Wellcraft cabin boat. Nice looking car!

Thanks guys, I'm not quite sure Marc, was thinking a full bare metal respray, and a bordeux leather retrim with blue piping with Blue Dash/steering wheel and rich blue carpets?

It won't suit it mate, it's a comfort spec type car, so needs that cote d'azure look from an 80's film star arrival at Casino Square in Monaco !!
