One question I have been wondering for a while now....Why is there so little guard red 996? They rarely come up especially the C4S....But looking at 997 there are plenty of them on the market. Is this because it wasn't a popular colour for the model or is it because people who owns them keeps hold of them?

Guard Red 996s

As said it was a fashion thing. Cant recall many red 993's either so its just that era when people didn't want it. JS1500 on here has a non sunroof 3.4 C4 but cant think of many more. There is an aerokit 3.4 for sale on ebay that was apparently sold when I was looking in Sept that has popped up again at the same garage but with about £2k more.
Guards red manual 996 turbo on ebay last week. Higher mileage but tweeked to around 500bhp and it went for £29k!!!
Ive always like red as it looks clean and shinier than it really is. That why I avoid black or white as you have to clean them all the time, something that I don't particularly like.
Always been a blue fan as well. Id love a cobalt Mk2 Gt3.

Now, you see, it really is a personal choice thing ...I don't think that the 993 or the 996 suited Guards red at all ...full stop (almost)
The 996 GT3 looked good in Guards , but that was the only one ......
It was great on the 964 then on the 997 again...on the inbetweeners it wasn't a colour that suited the shape ......
Black , Grey, silver all great colours for all the models .....

I actually agree with the 996 in red but such a sucker for red that I would buy it anyway.However I do think it suits the 993 very very well.
Anyway I sold my car few months ago with the hope of buying another later on. Promised myself it will be a red. But it seems that it will have to be a turbo or a 997 if I want C4S. Unfort 996 turbo is out of my price range and 997 gen 2 c4s would also be! can't win
