Those mirrors look like they are asymetric...in the stock location and the stock shapes.

Default Scottie rocks!
Never seen those shots. Excellent!
RLer 'Future' did a great job posting details in post #17.

It's a 1990 conversion that sold May 19th in the Netherlands at The Gallery. Previously for sale at Dutch seller De Groot.

As promised ... starting with background RL thread, Speedster 993 in Italy.
Was also for sale at Spain's elegancemotor.com, & on Germany's mobile.de + motohand.com.

Probably the sexiest 993's ever built imho.

(A goal of mine is to master US DOT import legalization requirements, & this may be worth the hassle.) Willing to travel as far as Spain/ UK/ Italy, etc.
Private Messages are fine.

Hopefully I can be early to the party this time; I arrived too late to dance with the following, advertised in Germany with a 3.8L engine recently:





& too late for this Spanish beauty's sale just prior...




(See strange similarities for a Porsche sold in two countries? Make it three: Spain Speedster photo's identical to Italian sold ~Jan07, found by '964polar' Henrik:
https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/321504-speedster-993-in-italy.html).

Regardless, that's past; back to the current search: please help me meet a 993 Speedster in person. Big thanks in advance!

Before I get any hopes up, though, I've gotta relay he didn't respond to an e-mail I sent months past. He used to respond promptly; Speedster may no longer be for sale.
Better versions of above pix, received before inspecting it in person:

That's awesome -- you saw such a rare creature in the wild & so close. I'm envious. I drooled from another continent & crossed an ocean to see it in person.

Did you ever get a test drive or take some of your own photos? Talk to the owner or mechanic?
