This will keep you up at night...

I love 993's - I even like Rivera Blue - but this is a Porsche only a smurf could love!

Looks good from a distance......


Not bad with the top


OMG!


Run Away! Run Away!

Whoa. What were they thinking. I whink this is even worse than that Pink 996 that has been for sale for ever. Sad part about the pink 996 is that my 8 yeard old daughter loves that car and will probably have something like that one day.

WHOA!!!

I wonder if you drove this thing for any length of time if you would develop some sort of 'snow-blindness' symptoms!

I bought my last porsche from Brian Buxton, he is a straight shooter and a hell of an enthusiast. But WHAT is he thinking with this?

I think I read that this car was a special order and its present state is as it was when it left the factory. It has a lot of leather covered stuff that probably cost a fortune.

I wonder what the folks who built the car in Stuttgart were saying/thinking as they put it together?

I would drive it . . . in the South of France!

BR,

Kurt

It looks much "blu-er" in person than in the pictures!

There is a history on the car - it was purchased by someone from the Bacardi fortune and took 2 years to build - they had a hard time getting enough smurf blue that matched. Even the reset knob for the trip odometer is blue leather.

Brian always has good stories about his cars.

That's from the "Special Wishes" department.

Some wishes are better left unfulfilled.
