I've decided to go with a bit more comfort (R8), so I'm selling my C4S. I need to find the right buyer in Canada who will appreciate the following story:

1996 C4S in Grand Prix white over black with 87,000 miles of which I am the third owner of this original US-based car. I imported it myself to Canada about five years ago. This car has had a comprehensive ($18K) top-end rebuild at Weissach about 10,000 miles ago to correct the common valve guide issue with completely updated guide metallurgy. I honestly believe this might be one of the really nice 993s in our fair city (Vancouver), and in addition it has the following enhancements:


PSS - 9 adjustable suspension with ROW M030 sway bars and upper strut bar

Guard 40/60 Limited Slip Differential

996 TT hollow-spoke wheels

RS lightweight flywheel / RS clutch

RS motor mounts

RSR mufflers / Wide ovals

Phillips Ultinon HIDs

Turbo S ducts / front bumper delete with Hella MicroDE xenon fogs

Ruf 3-spoke steering wheel and updated airbag

Recaro Topline sport seats (heated and ventilated) with lumbar adjustment

C2S Split grill - painted to match

Aluminum gauge rings

Sound by Alpine / Audobon / Focal with iPod interface and lifetime satellite radio license

I'm going to ask $47K Cdn and wait for someone who understands :-) I will miss the insight (and slippery slope) offered on this forum, but suspect I may be back some day?? Many thanks, Doug

I spent a good ten minutes drooling on this car at the recent Mike J BBQ/wrench session and it is truly fantastic. Everywhere you look there is extra attention to detail, from the color-matched split grill to the positioning of the tweeters.

I sat it in it briefly and the TopLine Sports are mind-blowing, as is the RUF wheel.

Can't believe it is for sale, if I could swing it I wouldn't hesitate. Whoever ends up with it will be a very happy guy or gal.

Best of luck with the sale Doug!

GLWS... BEAUTIFUL CAR..

You'll enjoy the R8.. My dad just got one last month and loves it... It is a piece of art!

Just when I decided that the next car should be a white S...

I always lusted after your car at Mike's BBQs and thought it was an utterly deceptive example. It looks like a 20k mi garage queen. Just the way I'd like it...well kept, well sorted and with a fresh top end. I wish you could hang on to it until the winter but I can't fathom this car will last more than a couple of weeks. Best of luck moving to the R8.

Stealth 993

hope you are getting the V10 R8 the V8's are not much faster then the 993. Sorry I got to poke fun @ the V8 R8, it's just like the Acura NSX looks awesome, just not as fast as it looks.

Anyway, your car is super duper clean, & in great shape, some one will be lucky to get it! I also LOVE the seats, a couple of Pics from Mike J cook out....

Not in California anymore!

(Best of luck with the sale, always like white 911s of any vintage.)

How difficult (cost) would it be to bring this back to the states ?

the_buch

No idea ... I know how to get them into Canada only, and would guess it's relatively easy???

The 420bhp V8 R8 will make an N/A 993 look like a honda civic.

That would be an absolutely embarrassing comparison for the 993.
