look to buy 964 widebody cab in Hong Kong
Hi, I'm looking for a euro-spec 964 factory widebody cab, ideally located in Hong Kong (I would consider buying one in Europe and importing but needs to be RHD), high preference for a manual.
Please PM me if you have one or know of one, especially if there is interest in partial trade for a 993 cab (white/blue, tip, 30k km).
Thanks!
David

tall order....there were only about 1000 turbo look cabs (aka "america roadster) produced & sold 92 through 93. about 250 came to N.A. lots went to Japan (but all are LHD and tips), ROW versions are mostly in continental Europe as far as I know (germany may be largest home & therefore LHD).
great repository of knowledge on these turbo looks is Norbert (German) who maintains a registry here &
if you have not done so you might also register & post a "seeking" in Norbert's turbo-look registry

Norbert is a rennlister (handle is TL-Register) and you should send him a pm - he may just likely know how many right winger turbo look cabs exist...i expect pretty skinny market.

Thanks Gerry !
I have found 28 RHD Turbo-Look Cabs till today!
British "Porsche Experts" talk of 24 Cars for the UK markets, without any prove for these numbers.
There is a nice yellow/black one for sale in HongKong offered as " America Roadster " but with tiptronic ...
wide Regards from Germany

In addition to the yellow/black one I just came across a black/grey as well as a silver/red widebody cabs for sale in HK....unfortunately both are tiptronics but I will probably try to see at least one of them this weekend. Is it possible to tell from the VIN if a car is a factory widebody? Or is there an option code?

Yes, Japan is a RHD country but a lot of the Porsches there are LHD....there is a certain cachet of having a foreign LHD car that was imported into Japan. The 5 people I know in Tokyo who have P-cars all have LHD cars that were imported into the country.

Well, I guess I've heard of weirder things in Japan!
