Hi everyone,

New member here. This is my 97 C2S in Forest Green with Cashmere interior. I live down in the South Island of New Zealand which just happens to have some incredible driving roads. This is my first 993 but I also have a 1971 Targa in Irish Green (photo for you as well) which has been restored by myself (with much professional help). The C2S is a very rare car here in NZ and this one has done only 58000 miles (93,000 kms). As you can see, I am a bit of a green fan :-). This car was most likely going to head over to Australia had I not purchased it, so it's great that it can stay here in NZ.

I have a bit to learn about the 993 so will monitor these threads with interest.

Given most of you will be US based, the 71 Targa is a matching numbers LH drive vehicle that originally came over to NZ from California in 1978.

Nice to meet you all.
Phil

What a beauty.
Good for you in NZ that such an obvious license plate hasn't yet been snatched up. Very fitting for your car.

Congrats! what beauty, Forest Green is so classy. Goes very well with the tan interior. Gives your C2S a very British feeling to me

Welcome! Lovley cars, both of them. That green is so right on the 993.
I have a 71 next to the 993 myself. Seems like you have great taste in cars
