It doesn't take rocket science to find out the cost of a C4S.... circa £50k.
Spec is a factor - and a TT was on the cards at that time - it was just the 15mpg, and maintenance costs that finally put my feet on the ground.

Options are scarey money - the PSE (sports exhaust) is nearly £2k option....
then Bi-xenons , Bose, and special order paint £1500 put this car at £73k new

So if it was in Glasgow, it was either owned by a knobby footballer, or an underworld gangster/drug baron Which was it?

Apparently noise regulations for global markets made the PSE an option in some countries that allow you to have some dB fun eg UK...... But I agree its a must on this car.

Very nice. Like the the special silver aswell, shame the 'normal' silver isn't as good.

It'll draw a few glances in the hospital car park!!

I've only just noticed that the 997 has gone back to round headlights rather than the teardrop type ones of the 996. Makes the 997 look more 'classic' doesn't it...

Lovely car mate, and the best colour too. Its the only thing I can think of that I would change for. Recently drove a friends new boxter and that was disappointing, but another mate has an 02 carrera 4S and thats a different ball game. I'm sure you'll have hours of fun!!

Absolutely - more 993 - and the 997 is meant to take the 911 to another level. Alas - I'll have to wait for one of those
