Beautiful car with nice options (I'm a sucker for Sport Seats). And the mileage? WOW! Hopefully small, consistent annual mileage over it's life rather than from sitting around after initial use when new. Congratulations!

BTW, the steering wheel seems to be on the wrong side.

Wow, what a perfect find. Its the specification of my first 993, which I definitely miss. A good 98 C2S with low mileage takes patience to find (ask me how I know). Gorgeous. Something tells me that you might not even realize how lucky you were to find this car. Well bought!

Yes I was lucky to get the opportunity and considering I am a PITA when it comes to condition even more so. I didn't really set out to find a low miles car as they appear so infrequently over here and are usually sold without coming on to the open market, in my experience..

I do realise how lucky I am - honest

Beautiful car -- congrats! Enjoy it in good health.

So where does Porsche put the ignition switch when the steering wheel is on the right?

That has to be one of the best looking normally aspirated production cars of all time.

It looks perfect! Job well done on finding it.

Enjoy it for years to come.

Very nice, thanks.

I have a 997 GT3 and I'm still envious!

A beauty. Very clean inside and outside. The seats really look like low mileage seats.

Thanks for the warm welcome and positive comments guys much appreciated ..

The only problem is we don't get the weather some of you guys get to really enjoy them as intended and we have only just rid ourselves of the dreaded salt on the roads but we make the most of it and look forward to a reasonable summer (hopefully)..

Well digger, thankfully you're just one Chunnel away from the excellent driving roads in the South of France!
