Default My search is over..

I think I have found the perfect car. 1997 C2S Zennith with grey leather.
Sports seats, sports exhaust (will probably biff for a Fabspeed) 30000 km's, Turbo spoiler, air con, sunroof blah blah. Passed the PPI with flying colours and unlike the departed 3.6 Turbo........no more leaks!
The car is mine as soon as I can get a flight to go and collect it.
One thing I have learnt, if you sell your P-Car they are not a doddle to replace.
These cars seem to be getting more expensive and harder and harder to find. I could have got a 2000 996 Tip for 20K less!
I am like a little kid right now.
Will post more pics when I have it.

My, what a beauty. There must be a story behind the 3.6 turbo...wonder what it is, as they are a rare and very desirable car.

Hi Deanriffs
The 3.6? Yes it was an awesome car and is very desirable. Problem is the cost of ownership, services etc. Also the sheer speed of the car was amazing, but something I am finally over. There really is no where to use the cars brutal power without either losing your licence or copping some huge fines. Track days are rare because of where I live, so the 993 will be more of a driver for me.
I very nearly bought another one but came to my sences!
Cheers

Looks gorgeous! Congrats.

Are those painted calipers? or the real big reds?

Big reds on a C2S? Very rare. Nice find. Now that I see you're in New Zealand it all makes sense that a 993 in primo condition would be a difficult car to locate. In the USA they are quite easy to locate in comparison.

Congrats.
