Thank you. I just wanted everyone to know the cars weren't a rumor, they are authentic. This car was sold buy a Porsche dealership as a C2S Cab and the premium was on the MSRP.

Julian-- Since my Nov30 post, it looks like the Turbo cab auction's re-listed six times. No reduction in price (130,000€), & ... no bids.
Anyway, here's the latest auction.

Also, a related motorLegend.com page where the seller's asking 140k €: PORSCHE 911 (993) Turbo 3.6 Cabriolet green dragonfly (translated from French).
No affiliation, just looking to help a fellow rLister with a widebody cab sickness.

If anyone is interested, my C2S cab is for sale . As much as I hate to let it go, I am starting a business and need a little extra capital. PM if you have interest.

Default 993 Turbo Cabrio (FS?)

On an expert's recommendation, I contacted the following business to help locate a 993 Speedster before my Germany trip last month. They replied that it would be not be possible.

Now that I'm back, though, I notice a 993 Turbo Cab on their site.

Yes, if it is in fact one of the 12 that were built. They are NB and single turbos, not TT.

Spot-on. BH cabs = not turbo. Factory turbo cabs = narrowbody.

Here's the add for that marble-gray one on mobile.de

1995 993 Turbo Cab

No affiliation, nor guarantee of factory authenticity. But fun to drool over!

911 (Type993) 993Turbo Cabriolet; 450 PS

... however: what's up with listing 10 photos, yet none of the engine?!
Somebody please tell 'em they're advertising a high-powered exotic, not a mass-produced grocery getter. Gyeesh.
