Bought a 959 today

I really didn't plan on buying a 959 but the deal kind of fell in my lap. I don't have much information on the original owner but it's a nice condition example that was well taken care of. It doesn't look like it's been tracked at all. I replaced the fuel (9V) and it started right up. I'm not sure if it's a Komfort or an "S", hopefully the brain trust can chime in.

What do you guys think of the livery?

I like the suction cup wheel option for driving on the ceiling

Ride height too high........

Bring it to a well respected Porsche shop and have the ride height adjusted a bit lower. And ask if they do corner balance too.

Clearly that is the "Sport" edition. No way the Komfort can do that
