Though I've seen brand new (993 GT2) - in person - with the exact color, "less 14,000 km's" 
Yet these pics are spectacular. The utter beauty of this automobile is beyond words...
Just looking at them pics, makes one feel like celebrating
Congratulations....on living / driving a dream....

Carlos993,
Beautiful car, and I'm not a fan of yellow anything.
Out of interest, what do you plan to do with the car? Do you see yourself driving it everyday, weekends, a couple of times a year?
As an owner of a 993 Turbo with 65,000 miles on it, I use it everyday without hesitation. I just wonder does someone buy a car like this to keep in a collection of many others.
Enjoy,

Thanks all.
DRPM, I will try to post video/audio, but that is at least a few weeks away. The hand fabricated titanium exhaust (Japan) is amazing.
Fredcalero, will post interior shots, again when I can get back to the car. Key points - SY painted 993 RS buckets, black/grey leather on the seats, SY "GT" insignia on the back, racing harness (no rollbar, this is one of the 50 or so "road" GT2s). As with other 993 GT2s, interior is RS spec. Interior is pristine.
Budge96 and hal m, this car is a Japan car, where I lived for a few years and where I think you will find (generally) the best maintained cars on the planet. I think it has something to do with the Japanese respect for things around them - really close to fanatical around car care and maintenance. Most of my cars I have sourced from Japan.
The car is now south of Manila - very nice driving roads, almost no potholes, no pollution.
911headhunter, I have a small collection, including a 993 RS (possibly most fun driver), which I have no hesitation driving. BUT, since I am on the road working well over 90% of the time, most of the cars get driven only between 500 to 1,000 kilos per year, but practically every single drive is a special one, because of the nearby driving roads.
Finally, while I enjoy driving the cars as they were meant to be driven, and I also enjoy doing the non-dealer maintenance and detailing, I can also just simply look at these cars (any Porsche really) and appreciate the heritage, passion, and art. I enclose a photo of my 964 Turbo S Leichtbau ("Lightweight"), one of my favorites, considered by some of the experts to be the car where Porsche went all out to bring out a true limited edition (80 or 86 built, all special ordered), based on the factory list of engine, suspension, interior, and cosmetic tweaks that separated it from its brothers. When it was introduced it was quicker (and more expensive!) even than the Ferrari 12s. Going through this car, you can easily imagine the Porsche engineers going through every detail to come up with a car that was faster, stronger, lighter. In my mind, the true spiritual ancestor of the 993 GT2 through today's 997 GT2 RS (the Turbo S name had gone a separate route beginning with the 993, and away from the initial RS concept). ROW only.
Thank you again.
