I have only had mine two weeks and would not sell....Took me 18 months to find just the right one. I know there are plenty out there, but I am big on the pre-cup holder 986 (seems more genuinely German to me) and most of the ones I have seen are in crap condition....

Recently was tempted as I usually sell a car when I can get back most of what I put into it. Realized I would just be building a dupicate car as what I have is what I want even after 11 years & 90K miles.

Only two weeks, let's see pictures. Oh yea, pics of the MGB and TR-7 too....that is a walk back in time. I owned a British Racing Green MGB in the late 70's and a friend owned a french blue TR-7.

I will post pics as soon as I get proper ones. It has been in the 20's here in the Carolinas and cannot put a plastic-windowed top down now can we? LOL

Sorry guys, the B and the TR7 were previous as well and I owned them back in the late 80's...no pics survived. The B was a great car - The TR7 was too until a cracked head (
