Impressive research there curve lover! It still seems funny seeing the old single turbo engine in a 993 body. Of all the cars, the black ones looks the nicest - although I'm not so keen on the baby blue interior...

How do you like this, I'm guessing it's Slate Grey...
Bramley shows that it sold a year ago. Their asking price was ~£80k, although I've seen it advertised elsewhere by Bramley for ~£68k: carOcean.uk.com link one; and link two.

Another one - you'll soon have all of them! I do remember the Bramley car - it was featured in one of the Porsche magazines a few years ago telling the whole story about these rare 993 turbo cabs.
The Sultan and his family have sold a lot of their collection now - it seems even they are running out of money!
