Nice Ruf Turbo R with <20,000 miles. I'm not fond of the ivory seats. Pre-auction estimate is $300k-$350k. Zipes. I'd love to know what it actually sells for.

What kind of seats are those? I like, not the ivory color of course.

They are Ruf' 'branded' seats - made for them by Konig:

I have those seats in Rufus (in black). They are amazingly supportive and very strong. The back angle is adjustable, and they flip forward. On the downside... they are a bit difficult to get in to without dragging your butt on the bolster, and they are nearly as heavy as the stock seats. They might be a bit narrow for a really big guy.

Is the CTR engine different than a regular Turbo R? I remember the CTR2 sport could push out 580bhp+ and those are Ruf bhp.

I'm still enjoying my GT3, but I do miss my old turbo. A beautiful gray one came up for sale in St. Louis a few weeks ago. 20K miles and asking of $150K. I asked the salesman if there was some flexibility as I thought that was a little ambitious, but they sold the car in a day.

Well, the regular 993 TTs are ranging from $150- $250 for normal cars and there aren't any TT S for under $400
