I can't speak for the 993tt, but my 996tt is Can Can, it had to be special ordered.

Tony
the only picture I've got of my Boxster Red interior.

I had a good look round a 964 Silver Turbo with a can can red interior and boy it was definately red. You will either like it or not.

With mine I was unsure when I looked at it originally, but I'm more than happy with it. Its different and its wearing very well

When you see the car make a note of everything on the ID label so you can check official colour, extras, vin number etc
Checked myy companion guide there was also Flamenco red that was available for 993's

Here goes... saw the car today (and more importantly, drove it)... clutched my heart-strings and wouldn't let go. My dad came with me and loved the color ("reminds me of the classics of my childhood"), and sold me. If all things go smoothly, she should be on my drive by the end of the week.

Enjoy...

Beautiful car, I have always had a soft spot for a Turbo "S". I hope you enjoy it!

Technically, it's not a 'kosher' S... it's a wierd one... apparently, the original owner wasn't quick enough on the draw to get on the list for an 'S', so specced the car up to the same level (factory 430bhp, full S body-kit, full S carbon interior) along with a few other extras (Can-can red interior, can-can leather sun-visors). The sales docket says the car cost him nearly $240K (£125K) back in 1997...

It's basically an 'S' with a bespoke interior, minus the quad exhausts, yellow calipers, darker wheels and the "TurboS" badging... guess I got me a one-of-a-kind

were the upgrades performed by the factor or dealer? if so, that's a great find. if not, still a great find. in other words, i'm jealous.

All from the factory... no work done at the dealer at all, and meticulously cared for at regular intervals...
