First 993 viewed

Went to view a local 993 because it was a) local, b) reasonable price and c) it was a targa like this one (picture copyright its owner)



My preference at this moment is for a Targa as I like the idea and miss having a big hole in the roof with my Ferrari 308.

The car was nice and well cared for with just two owners and 90K miles. We went for a ride and all was good, but I didn't feel the colour was right for me as it was silver with a light grey interior - all a bit tool light and in some way ordinary. Proper advice is to buy the car which is in the best condition and don't worry about the colour - but you still have to live with it so I bid the owner good luck and walked away.

Having said that it was a good exercise in testing my knowledge of 993's and on reflection I did realise that I didn't know enough - back to the Streather book.
