I bought the black 993 C2S at 911 Virgin last week!

Hello all,
I was told that my car was being discussed on here so thought I'd drop by :D

I picked the car up last Saturday from 911V - great bunch and the car was just as described (rare for a car dealer I know) - in a word, perfect.

I didn't get a bargain (!)but I wanted one of the best and it had to be black with the correct seats and low miles.

I couldn't spot anything to pick them up on and the service we received was fantastic - down to earth, friendly and enthusiastic. My son loves these cars and since he knew I had owned one from before his birth, he's been aghast that I didn't keep it as they are his favourite car. Forget the Lambo's, Bentley, multiple Ferrari's and other 911's I've raided the piggy bank for - it has to be a 993 for him (and me).

So, we arrive on Saturday and he thinks we are just going for a little trip out to 'see some cars', he's excited but not overly so. We arrive at 911V and the C2S is tucked away in the garage waiting for us - son runs over, 'dad, dad - a C2s! These are wide bodied and really rare in black dad.....and it's a manual!' I think he even uttered the immortal line 'last of the air cooled'...

We play a little game of 'sorry, it's sold' (thanks to Dan from 911V for his excellent acting skills) ....'to me' - cue tears from son and claims of 'the best day of my life' - his mum and sister were slightly less enthused but that's life..

Anyway - hello to all and I'll post a couple of pics if anyone is interested. I might want to get an original rear deck for mine at some point if anyone knows the best place to get one - can't decide which looks best yet.
 
Well a big welcome to the forum, looking forward to the pics. :thumb:
 
Nice story. Get photos up ASAP.

Was going to ask the same..my boys 6 and loves my 993 :grin:

Pics of the new wheels please :thumb:
 
Welcome, your 993 sounds great. My SY 993 was well discussed on here, if nothing else it reassured me I'd bought a great car with good history, and a fastidious previous owner. Enjoy the 993, and get some pictures up!
 
This was the car at 911V the evening before we picked it up.
Son is 9 years old, thanks for the warm welcome, will post more pics.
So pleased to be back in a 993. Not the fastest or flashiest but the noise at 6000 rpm and the look of the thing - couldn't top it.

Welcome to the forum, great first post, you're lucky your son is a 993 fan, make the most of it, my son is into sports cars, anything but Porsche :sad:

Do get some pictures up, a black C2S sounds fantastic. I bought a 993 from 911v which was also discussed at length on here, but a lot of that was because it was green :grin:
 
One more.
 
And one more.

Welcome on board :thumb:

Sounds like you fit right in :grin: and sounds like you already know that substance is greater than speed :wink:
 
Brilliant story and welcome to 911uk. May you and your son enjoy the new acquisition!
