Default Anyone know who owned this Blood Orange 993 Turbo?

This 1997 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo “paint to sample” Blood Orange (9,300 miles) is for sale over at http://road-scholars.com/

Was just curious if anyone knew the history. What a rare car.

Blood orange...Strange name for a color that looks nothing like any of the things I've seen bleed.
nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Whew. Their Maritime Blue GT3RS 4.0 wasn't bad either: http://road-scholars.com/2012-porsch...ue-1600-miles/

I thought this was the car that I've seen at TrueSpeed in the past ... but this is a sunroof delete car isn't it?

Yes, now that I've zoomed up on it with a touch screen .. I think you're right. Here's the old Truespeed shot when they had it for sale for $135K in 2009.. I thought it was a lot back then but with the Andial twin plug 3.8 that seems a bit cheap now ... I know what they're asking, but I'd say $150-170K is all the money unless you just can't live without orange, eh?
