Default 2005 TTS is shipping

I wanted to thank you guys for helping a noob to water cooled Porsches learn what to look for and what to ask. The inspection turned out great. This car has no obvious issues, paint is original with around 4.5mil all over. I wanted a manual shift TTS and was fortunate this one was available. Mechanic said it was one of the best examples he's seen. Two owners before me. Only about 23k miles on it and the interior looks new. She's stock with no modifications. I plan to keep it this way and stay off the slope. If it ships today or tomorrow and should arrive next week. Since I'm a DIY type, I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions.

Resistance is futile.

You'll be on the slope sooner or later. Meantime, you have a fantastic looking car. Congrats.

Leave the car stock= it is rare and will be much more desired as is. Do not fall into the sheep mentality lol . The color combo is not for me but is what will make your car stand out in the future.

Thanks guys. You might be right about resistance being futile. The turbo lends itself to modifications. There is no easy performance mod for either my SC or my 993.

But I'll probably start off with a car cover and maybe some black TurboS floor mats to give a little more contrast to the saddle interior.

Gorgeous car - is that the Natural Brown interior? The first pic almost looks like a variation of red. Either way it looks beautiful - enjoy!

I'm pretty sure it's terracotta interior.

That exterior color is very nice, Slate? Looks close to Seal but a no quite.

PFBZ I think you're right on both interior and exterior. The exterior is seal gray metallic. I've seen the interior called natural brown and saddle but I think the Porsche name in 2005 was Cinnamon Brown and was a special order color. The window sticker is supposed to be sent with the car so I'll confirm when it arrives. Here a couple different angle shots.

Stunning car...

To me, looks like Y1 Seal Grey over X99/TX Natural Leather Brown, but I might have cheated a little.

And XMZ, Rear Center Console - Leather.

Looks more like the seal gray in these photos. I liked the brown/gray contrast when I first saw it. Somewhat different. I have black interior on my 993 so was happy to find another combination; but I wouldn't have turned this one down if the interior had been black as well. My priority is always mechanicals and proof of maintenance.

Car looks fantastic. The first car I looked at had the natural leather and it was beautiful.
The S came special with GT silver wheels and are perfect as is. Enjoy the car!
