Nice looking car, I really like the shots at the beginning with the standard small exhaust tips, most people switch these over soon after purchase.
Looks like a comfort spec with the electric windows and airbag dash, steering wheel having been swapped at some point......can you take an airbag wheel off in the USA?
Is there any form of register stateside for these cars?...I don't know the answer, but 4 cars in the USA sounds really low to me, I would have thought a few more collectors would own them. Apart from the fun and pleasure of ownership, these cars have and should continue to perform as an investment!

FYI, once these cars, any car for that matter, reaches fifteen years of age it can be brought into Canada pretty much as is. It would have to pass a provincial safety inspection (basic roadworthiness) but little else IIRC.
So, a of Jan. 2010, one hurdle cleared in my quest to have an original, unmolested 993RS in my driveway. Unfortunately there's one more hurdle that will likely stay in place. These cars keep going up in price!!! All the more reason to build a clone/replica/fake.

Tim, you can always come down and buy mine. I'm hanging by my boots on mine, I hate to think what I could have bought instead, a GT3RS and a ton of money left over. Oh well.

Tks for clarifying the numbers, the global RS market may well change once these cars are easier to import into Canada and the US.
I am ok on the exhaust tip specifics, I still have the small originals on my current RS, I seem to have developed a thing for how they left the factory. To me that is one of the great things with the RS, compared to the extensive list of expensive mods Gt3 owners seem to require on their cars, Porsche did all the work for us on the 993RS.

Yes
My bad
It is pure sex in person...
To see it parked next to the others in his corral is better than a visit to the playboy mansion... well maybe not that good... but you know what I mean.

With respect to DOT compliance. Is there a time limit for the US when you can import any car as a classic?...I read earlier it was 15 years for Canada, for some reason I thought it was 25 years for the US, will dual airbags still be a requirement for importing a car under the age guidelines?..cheers.
