If 356's Had NAV Screens Why Doesn't my 911?

I was looking at the latest edition of Excellence and on an Early 356, the car appears to have a period correct NAV Screen installed on the dash.



Why wasn't this option more widely distributed and included in the Early 911's?

yes, the James Bond "Q" Nav system is completely concealed behind the cloth grill.

Yeah, giving you directions to Dan's Used Car Emporium where "your job is your credit and no reasonable offer refused!!" or telling you to call in the next five minutes and a special bonus is yours free - yes, that's right, ABSOLUTELY FREE!!

I thought it was a personal automat-door. Now you're telling me it's a speaker grill? WTF???

We have no sense of humour. All we have are toques, back bacon and maple syrup. And some comedians who DO have a sense of humour, so we deport them to the US.

While the original post did not use green text, it did use green seats. Well done.

here's a great backdate idea, take your 997 and put speaker cloth over the nav screen! everyone will think its a 50's 356.
