Horizon blue coupes are rare even without M030, being 1 of 12.
The car has the Cup 1s now. Has an RS Barn exhaust and aftermarket head unit but both originals are coming with the car.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

True, it is rare, but make sure you want an M030. The driving experience is different and that is both a good and a bad thing. You may not like it if you were looking for a cruiser.
Make sure all the unique M030 parts are still with the car. Sometimes they are robbed.
Make sure the car wasn't hard raced. That was the intention of the package.
Watch those other options. M220 LSD was NOT standard. Sport seats are often found. Check the registry website for many details.
Lots of 1 on 1s. Which is pretty cool.

Well I'm taking a risk because I'm not driving before I buy and based on this info, we're making a good deal. Hope the ride isn't that harsh. I DD an RS5 which in dynamic mode is pretty bumpy and I came from a Boss 302 which I kept in the tightest suspension setting the entire time I owned it (8.5 years). I'm still young...I think.

Apparently this car was a Porsche promo car back in 1993 and was used for articles in Car and Driver and the like. So that's also pretty cool.

Here it is back in an article from my local paper back in 1993 when I first feel in love with the model.

Getting a copy of that would certainly be pretty cool!

@RajDatta supposedly the PS was one of yours. At least your name came up in discussion.
