Congratulations, great first Porsche color. Be prepared to spend a ton of time in the garage. I do.....

nice car! I am trying to figure out new wheels and tires at the moment. It has stock lobster claw wheels right now, and the tires need to be replaced as I live in the mountains and it has street tires on it. Need to do some research.

HAHAHA. Whatever. I think they look like claws.

Ditto on the copycat and prior comments on the black color being a hobby...as well as the ride being your newest, bestest weekend buddy. 10 months into mine and I can't wipe the smile off my face every time I crank 'er up!

First off congratulations on the gorgeous 997. Be prepared to grin a lot when driving from now on. Also have to ask.....what's the blue one next to it? I've had an MGB and a TR6 so I can't think it could be anything other than something British. It has some resemblance to an MGB but the dash and the wheels don't match. And I know it's not a Triumph, never mind a Jaguar or Aston so what's left? Austin? Turner?

dubsiren

it is an Austin Healey Bugeyed Sprite.

sandwedge

Thx. Don't see many of those on the road. Don't think I ever saw one come to think of it. Keeper needless to say.

It is a really pretty car. The owner is doing work to the interior. The shape and build of the Sprite is so classic.

You've probably seen an earlier model Bug Eyed Sprite - front shot of a 1960 model...
