Congrat Carlos for your purchase, from a happy 993 GT (Clubsport version) owner.
I have to say it looks really brand new.
Do you intend to put it on track?
I do it with mine: they're born for this.
The 964 Leichtbau was also a dream car for me, but I never had one.
993 RS is another piece of legend...
Well done.

More Pix
Thanks all.
Denis, the PO claimed that the car has never been tracked, and since I am more of an empty country road type of driver than a track junkie, I am inclined to not track the car. We'll see, however. Glad that you use your car to full potential.
Fred, as promised, some more pix, including the very nicely handcrafted titanium exhaust.

This car is simply UNBELIEVABLE.
THE dream of 993 mania.....
Again: just caressing this babe, makes one forget the world
I'm tempted to ask how much, but
I know that the owner of a similar GT, with less than 100 miles !! wasn't interested in offers in the range of $300,000+. Wise guy, I'd say! Would one trade heaven for some earthly filth

Carlos,
Thanks for the additional pics.
I have to admit that your car is brand new and it would be a pity to put it on the race track where gravel will for sure come and put some marks on the paint.
Mine has a lot of these marks (pictures in the Ruf topic along with my 993 TT Ruf).

Absolutely stunning car, thanks for sharing. I don't know if I like this one or the 965 LW better, please post more pics of that one too.
Do yourself a favor, though, and either use your factory 3 point belt or anchor the shoulder belts on those harnesses differently, those eye bolts loaded in shear is not a good idea, that can't be factory. You would probably be OK using those on the street; I'm no engineer but I do a lot of tech inspections for POC track events and I would not let that fly.
Back to the car though, I think that is everyone's dream car here, and nice photography as well!

Elporscha, I really want to enjoy this car, so when I bought it I stopped thinking about the price.
Denis, the paint is original and immaculate; I feel the car is almost an entrustment and I really hesitate to take it to the track. I have seen photos of your cars - beautiful!
Chris, I am almost certain the belts are Porsche Japan Motorsports approved at the time - the 965 has a similar set-up, with the eye bolts located where the rear seats would be. I agree this would not pass current US standards - I use the 3 points when I drive these cars.
Funbug, thank you. I count my blessings every day, regardless of good or bad day.
Thanks again. I enclose photos of the LTW, plus one of the 993 RS. I have a small library of photos as photography is another hobby.

Carlos, wow! Congratulations! You know how to pick them! 
I was in Manilla in December, then travelled up to Subic Bay where the company I work for has a factory. If I knew you where that close I'd spend an extra day or two there and take a few thousands pictures of your cars....
Enjoy your BEAUTIFUL cars and try to work a bit less, what more do you need with a garage like that!?!

Man the "HOLY TRINITY"! Carlos quite the collection and I must say a man after my own heart!..
I am in the process of replicating just that group when I complete my light weight 965 and
my 993RS clone.
I'm about 75% there, great looking cars really,Bert
