993 RS in Octane Magazine

[johnny senna]

Just to let you know that the Feb 2006 issue of Octane which is out on 29 December will have an article on the 993 RS.
This is a gentleman's mag in my view (no Vic, not the top shelf sort) and hopefully someone like Mark Hales will drive it and big it up hugely!

Just got a copy this morning and it is the Midnight Blue Hendon car.
Good write up but pretty short in content.

I agree - almost read the whole artice in a couple of minutes in WH Smith.

There's a 993RS on the front of this month's GTPP, but it's in a plastic wrapper so couldn't check it out. After buying a few copies when it first came out, I have vowed never again - always the same stuff that gets continually repeated.

Cheers Zub. I still haven't found a copy though.

Zubin,Dont u think Chris Harris s writing has improved the dreaded GTPP ?

Saw the article yesterday, didn't realise it was Chris Harris, I eat my hat because it was a much better article than normal for GTPP!

Does anyone know how much HWM are asking for this car? It seems to have been for sale with them for a long, long time - for a 993RS anyway.

Is this the blue RHD car that was on eBay - had been campained in the Porsche Open, then the intermarque, then tidied back up for the road?

No, I'm fairly sure its a different car.
I believe the Hendon car is a good example but has the comfort options fitted:- ie sports seats as opposed to buckets.
When I last enquired last summer they were asking 65k.

Thanks for that - I wonder why it hasn't sold?

I've been thinking about selling my RHD and wondered what it was worth.

Its definitely not the one that did a couple of races etc ............had 'manky' speedlines but otherrwise bodywork and interior looked good ..........frankly did nt look that long as the guy i went to meet was working hard on mine .......

Seen the car looks lovely for sale about 2 years very expensive if they dropped it 20K about right.........father in law bought a 993 Turbo S 2000 delivery miles last year from HWM I was with him when he gave them the dosh next phone call bid the dealer 10K more he offered to split the profit he said on yer bike......was on display NEC.....so moral is as Mark Twain says (about land) they don't make it any more......the specialist aircooleds turbo's and RS money in bank.....
