An unusual combination on this Carrera S, Artic Silver with a Chestnut interior that Hairpin are selling - I rather like it - what are others thoughts?

It does not look too bad but not the most desirable.
 
Not sure I could live with that interior. Seats and doors maybe but dash and steering wheel, no.
 
I think you would need to see it in the flesh. Porsche did go a little overboard with the extend of the colours with not enough 2 tone to balance it out. That can be easily rectified however with an OEM steering wheel and car mats ;-)
 
As far as I'm concerned it's not Moody (Metropole) Blue so in my eyes that interior is a winner :thumb:

No AC :eek: Epic fail.
 
Stunning best combo there is, looks even better in the flesh. Some would try and fit black seats, no need!
 
I rather like that. The only thing I might be inclined to change is the steering wheel for a three spoke, non airbag version. I like the matching dash though, think it works well with the artic silver exterior too.
 
Arctic, surely?

Seems a number of us have had dyslexic fingers 😂

To be fair, it seems to have been a bit of a thing over the years.

I got the dash, wheel and door tops retrimmed in mine and its worked a treat I think



I quite like that combo and it will be a decent car if its at Hairpin, they are good guys

I like what you've done. Hairpin are looking for £135K for their car.
 
I can't see it on their site so not sure if its sold but presume its low mileage for that cost. A lot of S are tip and so manuals do command a premium but usually below a 4S like for like (which are all manual). These cars are at a price point in the market where mileage makes a bigger and bigger difference ie the spread in prices is wider. Its top end in terms of price but will likely sell at that if condition / mileage is right for the top end prices, it does look lovely.

It was interesting at the recent 70th anniversary event I went to at Media City in Manchester. Virtually every model was represented.....of all the cars the one which was the 'prettiest" in motion in my eyes as the cars left was a 993 4S without a fixed rear wing......I know I'm biased but it was just stunning. The 2S is the same and pictures just do not do them justice to how they look in motion...
