whats your thoughts on this 993?

[Keith Calder]

i fancy a 993 rs or gt2-look next any thoughts on this yellow car? www.verdiferrari.biz/other.asp not sure about the side sills .. is it different enough to justify the price? seem to remember an article about it in an old 911world ..cheers

Sorry, but it does nt even look like a Gt2................even headlamp washers say something, sills are nearest thing to correct for the car ,no spats flared wings not bolt on spats .......................if u like replicas then onlu can judge what its worth to you.
I wonder what sort of collection it came from?

thanks for the fast reply Vic, im back home now and funnily enough i picked up the first binder of 911 world and the page fell open at this car,spooky..issue 40, march 1997. anyway its a dp motorsport special, fiberglass front wings, stretched rears ,gt2 style rear wing,leather recaros, 9x18 + 12x 18 bbs wheels. took 6 weeks to modify at a cost of £15384 then. i was toying of buying a lhd 993 £20,000 ish and adding rs bits but this is only £5000 more and id never be able to buy the wings , wheels and recaros for that , a good buy for someone maybe.. only other downside is it left the factory blue...

I looked at the Ferrari 355's on the site - only one had done more than 20,000 miles - don't people drive these things []

I have often looked at the prices this guy puts on his cars; they seem amazingly high to the point of asking who buys these things!

As for the wording you have got to laugh. It says somewhere suitable for intermarque racing ....I don't think so!

£40k save up a bit and buy a real RS or save a packet and buy an early 993 and put a kit on it yourself.
