Rare Riviera Blue 993 newly restored

Having had an air bag explode in my face at 20 mph (broke my specs) I'd rather have a full harness. I have the same Atiwe steering wheel but with embossed logo. Neither would have saved me if the ladder had left the window cleaner's van on the way back from LLandudno. Tip don't taigate a Porsche, they have rather good brakes.
 
Mexico, Riviera... both look superb on the 993 and we seem to have a plethora of them on 911UK. Phil's (HPNer) car is a colour change too and Trev (Cameltoe & Heel) going Mexico. :thumb:


Future photo opportunity beckons as Riviera & Mexico seem to be the new Arctic & Polar Silver... :grin:

Where did you source the Fuchs, and how much were they ?

Cheers

Both JZM and Design 911 have them

yep horses for courses. I've been in a head on where airbag saved my life and I can't see myself going for the 4 points when I'm regularly using the back seats for the kids much as they would be preferred option!
 
Another vote for Center Gravity. They transformed my high mileage 993 last year. I took it to them immediately after purchase. They worked their magic: fitted a few new parts, did a lot of adjustments. Wasn't even too expensive v. cost of car.

Set up to allow me to really enjoy "bumpy B roads without putting you through a hedge".
 
That interior is a work of art :thumb:
 
Lovely Car!
But I would say that. However, I'm missing a roof, a southbound interior, and the surgery clean engine bay!
Heading to the classic too. with a couple of thousand to the Alps and back in between.

Came across this one on a rally 4 years ago. Sadly the owner at the time has since died.

Did the car ever have AC or has it been deleted? just spent a bit getting mine working again. It was retro fit, non Porsche so more complicated than it should have been.

Still insured and still on the 993 according to the MID, so obviously still driving around.
