I don't know what the overlap is but about 9 years ago there were only 15 vesuvius 993s in the PCGB register (out of several hundred). See https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=292825

And there were about 350 c2s imported to the UK (out of 3600 total 993s imported)

So very rare beast I'd say.

Have you purchased it?

Many thanks
Flemming

I think the 993's in this colour were limited editions so you may be looking at a very rare car. Vesusvius a deep mauve colour off the top of my head I think the rare ones had different (deep silver/grey) door handles, mirrors and colour grill.. What makes them more rare is these limited editions were also the S model or 2S as some call them. Not much on Google but see http://www.fast-classics.com/cars/porsche-911-c2s-vesuvius-for-sale/
Hope that helps.

Just spotted you are looking for a left hooker, your best area of search will be the USA. Have a look and then contact PCA if now joy.

Good luck with the search.

Hi

I think the Limited Edition one John's thinking of is the 30 Years Porsche Special Edition which was done in this special violet colour as there are three for sale on the Porsche Germany web page but are infact 964 models and not 993 but also on the same web pages they do have a left hand drive in the same colour your after but it's a Carrera 4S if that help you at all.

Yours sincerely Kevin.

Thanks All.

Properly a more generic 993 quesiton. Looking at these Pictures its with a different front. Anyone knows if both are original?

The first picture looks like a straightforward C2S, whereas the second looks to be a C2S with an aerokit front spoiler.

Plus one, agree with Marks comment on aerokit.

good evening all, vesuvius metallic is also possible to order on other models not just the Carrera S where it formed part of a special edition, as stated previously , it had steel grey accents to the exterior badges, door handles , mirrors and rear engine grille, usually with colour coded 17" cup94 design wheels which look a little out of place on a wide body car as we're not used to seeing them In England where almost every owner ticked the optional 18" hollow spoke wheels from the turbo model . I would think it wouldn't be too hard to find one in Europe , the usa cars are inferior with their engine emissions junk and ridiculous suspension running height! Neither of which porsche would choose to fit unless federal law dictates it!
i bet we'll see more than one or two at the lemans classic his year .

Sorry totally off topic

Looks a bit fishy.

 

[jdpef356]

Funny you should say that Cliff, the colour of thus fish is Vesuvius[]

B'gad - Perhaps PM me for more 'fishing tails' before I get the Forum cops bearing down on me.[:-][&o]

Great Tarpon - Looks like you were off 7 mile Bridge in the Keys? I caught this guys just over the other side!

 

[jdpef356]

Nice catch[8D]

Point 993 on the compass[] known to you and me as Bahia Honda!
