That would look more stylish, I will admit.

I cant understand the thinking behind leaving a half brown interior and then restoring the rest in black. Likely originally brown and they couldn’t find the rest of the rarer brown interior or the other brown items were too far gone to use. Ended up with a half way house. Is that a concours restoration? It’s looks such a lovely 911 too in a rare exterior colour.

If claiming Concours for a 71, ... what about missing the black paint on the interior door surrounding the door cards, the later front spoiler ? Fully painted under bonnet ?

All those are of no issue on a lovely restoration but can’t be classed as concours standard ( I actually prefer full body color under bonnet / engine bay anyway rather than original spec )

Front seats are 68 or 69 items, not 71.

Maybe just a 'local church fete' contours rather than Pebble Beach?
I thought it a very nice car overall and would be nice to own.

Leaky engine, needs a rebuild probably, but for someone looking for a cheap way into a driveable 993....I was sorely tempted but I have a "no more engine rebuilds" rule.

I am a Porsche driver, and its been a year since my last rebuild

like that colour combo

Factor in an engine rebuild, still not a bad price for a car with that spec with a fresh engine? Maybe?

I had a 993 daily that I bought at 60k miles and sold at 180k miles. Had nothing other than standard service items. Admittedly the suspension was pretty tired as when I swapped it for my 993TT there was a vast difference is tightness of handling!!

I sold it for £14k if I remember correctly and I guess it is still going somewhere!

They do seem to be pretty indestructible

£6k premium on a half million pound car.

No wonder collectingcars are proving so popular. Most of the sales on there are dealer sales now.

I’m not, for a moment, suggesting this is the case here, but if you owned a 2.7 RS or two it would certainly be worth spending £6k to publicly ‘prove’ a £500k+ value....
