i think it is possible to put a standard 993 wheel on. i guess you value having the airbag, but if you're not too bothered then I can recommend the wheel I have - I love it - i think its the "club sport" wheel.

Thanks for posting. Weird its not listed

My 968 Sport has the L741 colour code. I'll dig the paperwork out which says exactly what it is.

asimler,
there's L741 thread in the 964 forum. L741 seems to be 94' code and is the 993 non metallic black.
so won't be on Adrian"s list.

aha, mystery solved. many thanks.

From what i can see in the paperwork for my 968 L741 is Black with clear coat paint. From a quick search Black had a couple of codes for that year (94/95) but no others mention the clear coat.

is this a good price at £59k? I've seen them range from £35k and up, and unfortunately the closer I seem to be to ever getting one (about 10 years away right now i'd say!) they seem to keep on creeping up in price.

I saw one on pistonheads last week, in Derby, £35k but didnt have the speedlines (why oh why would you get rid of the speelines?) and also another one in skipton for £68k. The history on the £68k one is better, but how does one justify it costing twice as much?

supply and demand only 40 odd rhd,then you pay for better colours better history lower mileage,etc the 0ne at 68k is an s .

I think previous discussions have cited the 40-odd as UK cars. There are probably ~ 100 RHD Turbo 3.6s in the world. Still pretty rare.

BTW: All this talk of prices in different markets is interesting. On a good day in New Zealand my car would bring about GBP 30,100 or USD 43,400 at current exchange rates. One year ago it would have been 30% higher.

I think over the '93 and '94 model years there were 68 UK registered cars (although I'm quite prepared to be corrected here). No idea how many have been destroyed since then and I know a few LHDs were imported as I've seen a few. So with a market that small, I would suspect there almost isn't a price for these cars, each car being a market in itself - dependant upon condition, mileage, colour combo, originality etc. If you see one you really like, I would buy it - all IMHO of course

To give a continental European perspective, look mobile.de. The cheapest 3.3 turbo is up at €33k (£30k) and they rise to c.€60k (£55k) for a very low mileage car, which happens to be the starting point for a 3.6 turbo.

Given that there are far fewer RHD 3.6 turbos than LHD, then £60k isn't necessarily that unreasonable...

Wise words printed here....who can place a value on something that is so short on availability. Combine that with desirability, (which I recognise can fluctuate) and if the latter continues to grow who knows what will happen to ROW RHD prices.

In regard to graham's ex car currently on pistonheads for £59k, if it had been the only thing available last Sept, (and Minty hadn't been) I would have made a serious offer in a heart beat; the fact of the matter is the dealer paid a fair market rate for the car when buying it back, so they must be very confident it will move at that price. On the 'QT' I would have paid more for Minty than I did; I wanted it that badly. (Cost me a new 'warm-blood' dressage horse for the missus though).

Did your car come from Northway Porsche last year? I heard the car they had went to Ireland but I can't recall the colour.
