The beige looks a lot less overpowering with some contrasting black IMHO: .... Quite easy/cheap to do with some paint and/or bits bought from ebay. I think this would help lift the hilux grey interiors also. That actually looks pretty good! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherpa Posted 16July, 2021 Report Share Posted 16July, 2021 Yeah, I like it in two tone too. I fell in love with this car earlier in the year, but wasn’t fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving in the right direction, but still a long way from sensible IMO.Warning! Do NOT click the link if you are eating breakfast. Savannah Beige photos await on the other side. I love that green. Not a huge fan of the savannah interiors but with the green it actually works. Like @Fishcop said, break it up a bit with the centre console etc, and repaint the wheels and it could be good. As it is I would much prefer it over my boring AF Silver on grey 996, but I hate monochrome cars in general, as it blends in with the trend of 90% of the boring cars on the road today. I should start a coloured car movement! Fishcop and MichaelF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 27July, 2021 Report Share Posted 27July, 2021 Price reduced again on this .1 C2 manual coupe, would appear to be a comparative bargain now, assume owner's after a quick sale and lockdown's obviously hindering that: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1998-porsche-911-carrera-996-manual/SSE-AD-7306115/?Cr=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But each to their own Yeah, I’ve looked at a few cars where I’ve thought it would be interesting to ask the original owner what they were thinking. But, as you say, it’s personal choice. I suspect people might feel the same way in 20 years about all the 991’s with cream or chocolate interiors (if we’re still allowed to drive them then).

I would've seriously considered a Targa if one was around when I was looking. Int and ext colours aren't to my taste but I think that car would be a good buy.

Yeah I like the look and concept a lot, they suffered a bad rap over the design which led to some squeaking/leaking - but my research indicates that was as a result of people self-servicing the cables incorrectly with lubricant... They've been on the 996 buyers shit-list since, and I suspect it's a bit unfair. That roof in the 997 C4S Targa is the rarest of the 997 series and will be a true collectable.

Although, black targas hide it well. I got scared off by the roof drama in the end. Like IMS and bore scoring, it’s all you find when you Google the damn things.

I was very tempted by a Targa here in Brisbane with very low k's & reasonably priced. The big turn off for me was having a constantly sunburnt head whilst living in a City that's hotter than Satan's perineum. I thought that a subtle solar tint might solve the issue then decided that a Coupe just made more sense. Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
