It is I believe the first RHD CS in the UK registered on 1/1/93 and was Porsche UK's own car featuring in John Morgan's book and also later in it's life in an extensive article/ buyers guide in Performance Car and one of the Porsche specific mags in 2008. It's pretty much a basic CS + sunroof, last owner added M030 roll bars. At the MOT today the tester swore it had a LSD (the boot sticker doesn't show it as an option) and wouldn't put it on the rollers to test the brakes but did the road test instead, he does all the MOT's for Northway Porsche and seemed knowledgeable about them but I'll get Northway to check and advise. Currently 71k miles and I think I'm the 10th owner!

Hi Dave

Yes bought it from Jersey, it had been out there about 18 Months.
 
Mark,
Out of interest did Customs and Excise want tax from you to bring it back to the UK ? a friend is looking to buy a 964 Anniversary out there originally bought in the UK but they are wanting tax off him to bring it back over here ?
 
Welcome to 968 ownership. Rather pleasant looking car....and might i add a rather fine choice of colour. Bodywork and interior look in good order, reminds me alot of my car (bought at 72k six years ago).

They are a remarkably enjoyable car to drive, it will put a smile on your face for months to come. Surprises alot of people when they realise they are 16-18 years old, still have a little modernity about them, particularly in the lairy (ish) colours.

Word of warning....DO NOT go down the modding route, avoid the bug, although fresh dampers (particularly on the rear if they are original) and brakes is quite a treat.....adn perhaps a Promax chip....and....just ignore me and get out and enjoy.

Hope to see it about and about this summer.

Thanks JP, I think it will get some new suspension a promax chip and Janspeed exhaust, I'll keep an eye out for some suspension brake options
