Default Expensive Euro 993 Speedster sold yesterday on eBay

Nice wheels & mods. Possibly one-of-a-kind, but another example of how the $ to € conversion rate helps keep the nice P-cars in Germany.
eBay item #300197849198. No affiliation.

P.S. JoAnne~ (RJT): Thanks for your P.M. Dec 3. Ever get my P.M. Dec 28? Thanks in advance for re-sending, as necessary.

Is it real? IIRC, Adrian's book says that only a handful of these were made.

Oh wait, I just realized this is a little model, not a car.

My heart skipped a beat when i first saw it! My goal someday is to convert a Cab to a widebody Speedster.

I'm such a 993 Speedster enthusiast that I'm happy Eric already let the proverbial cat outta the bag: I just posted related pictures on the diecast thread referenced in my thread-starter.

Cactus-- I'm infected with a common zeal & enjoyed your post. Likewise, you've shown your sickness with follow-ups to my "Cabriolet in wide body?" Speedster research.
Maybe we can reach a shared goal together, or help the other get there first. Feel free to keep in touch & PM me anytime. Call it accountability or group therapy...

i just visited a local "speed shop"/restoration joint last week and after he showed me some great stuff including a mid 60's Ferrari 250 convertible I told him of my dream of a 993 cab to Speedster conversion. It is already spec'd out in my mind colors and everything!!! Where are you located?

If you don't see it soon, consider PMing me your e-mail address as back-up. I got your Dec 3 PM, so another from you should work if mine aren't getting to you now.

Cactus-- You are sick. It may not help your condition, but I just PMed you with a lead on Speedster parts. Keep in touch; we can help each other through this illness. Perhaps we'll drive similar 993s to a "Speedsters Anonymous" counseling group someday.
