You're right, front ride height of the cars you've attached pics of does look a bit lower than on my car... but I do know of other cars where this is not that obvious and I am not totally convinced.... e.g. this one at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart



A good point anyway and worth a check ! I will have a close look at the front suspension of my car (springs) as soon as I will have the oportunity to do this !

How common would it be for an owner to rebadge a 964 from turbo to turboS??? I saw a car labeled with the S and it certainly was not (no air intake above rear wheels). Also, were there any other S cars sold prior to the 1992 turbo S. I presume this car was rebadged from its newer model year. Thanks.

Easily could be done. How common ... who knows. There are no 964 model turbo S prior to 1992.

Thank you for clarification ! May I ask if you're 100% sure and where did you get the info from ?

This color as well rather close to a special order Lamborghini Miura color called Cielo Azzuro (see please picture below, copyright the Miura Register)

Yes, I am 100% sure, I have a photo of the paint sticker on my harddrive.

Here is the car's younger sister, a 993 GT2, finished in the same livery.

Default Just got back from Las Vegas ...

The other two cars at the autocollection are LHD Polar Silver Metallic and LHD Midnight Blue Metallic and all three cars were purchased by the same and current owner. They all have gold painted calipers with Amtheyst purple painted wheel centers - from the factory. They all have identical red interiors with factory fitted leather wrapped Matter roll bars.

The guy who runs the collection would not give me the VINs until after checking with the owner (and I did not want to cross the rope barriers to check it out), but I believe I know what they are as a Polar Silver and a Midnight Blue car were both 'officially' delivered on the same day - just under two years after their build dates. Has to be these two cars.

Due to the layout I could not get very good shots of these cars.
