    Front spoiler and rear decklid. I have been told that the original owner decided against the Turbo S intakes as it was a £8,000 option at the time.

    Awesome. My 993 has a replica RS wing which I like, but I'm not a fan of pretending to be something I'm not.

    I'll likely keep it for awhile and return it to stock some day.

    I hope yours is the real deal, if it is sporting the RS badge.

    Good Looking 964! Since the 993 is a direct descendant of the 964 I vote for ok to post in 993 pic

    Great shot. The 993 is about as close as we'll get to an Italian 911 - voluptuous car, still looks great.

    Original owner! Wow! Now if only you bought a twin turbo or a few more 993s. How exciting

    I almost bought a new Turbo in 1996 instead of this Carerra. The Turbo list price was $110,000 and this Carerra was about $70,000. A 57% difference but now the difference is much higher. So, if I would have been thinking about investment a Turbo would have been the better choice. But I have loved this Porsche, and still do, so no regrets.

    Gorgeous! 993s are definitely keepers.

    Honestly, as much as I love my other cars, the 993 remains the best all-around car I've had the pleasure of owning/driving. I can't see being without one.

    I have had mine for more than 10 years and I am still in love.
    Best view from the back... rear spolier from C2S, only change from original. I think it looks so much better than the black one...

    When I was 15, my dad came home with a VHS he had gotten from a Porsche dealer when the 993 was released. My family was in no position to own a 911 then, but my dad knew I would love a souveneir from his trip to the dealer.

    I must haves watched that tape 100 times back then. Today, I found that same video on YouTube.

    :)

    Beautiful cars! 993 is certainly a short to mid-term goal of mine as well. Enjoy in good health.
