Porsche 993 Sportseats Guide

Very rare, very pricey but very,very nice....

Option M383/387
Klaus, the one with the moustache...
Ticking this option would give Klaus in the Porsche factory the signal to install the "sportseats" instead of the standard "comfort" seats. A 1600,- Deutschmark option.

Porsche 964 Onderstel opties en tips

Wordt u in uw 964 links en rechts ingehaald door A-label middenklassers?  

Dat ligt (niet alleen) aan uw rijvaardigheden. Uw 964 heeft wellicht nog de originele dempers die inmiddels minimaal 20 jaar oud zijn. Oude en versleten dempers zorgen voor oncomfortabel en onvoorspelbaar weggedrag. Met een nieuwe set dempers en goede uitlijning herkent u uw 964 niet meer terug!

It's a duck's tale...


When in the early 70's the Porsche engineers needed more downforce on the powerful RS 2.7 to fight the high speed oversteer they succedeed by constructing a new type of rear spoiler. The sales department was not very happy with their efforts and blamed the engineers of giving the RS a "duck's tail".

The ducktail became an icon like the Fuchs wheel or the Turbo. Porsche kept us waiting almost 40 years until it was offered again on the limited edition 911 SportClassic. And nowadays, for $5000, or just half of what a RS 2.7 cost in 1974, Porsche will fit a ducktail on your 991.

Photo's by ACA
A British collector is selling his collection of more than 200 Porsches including 50 911s, 40 912s and 40 356s.According to the auctioneer given the task to sell them even the barnfinds are in working order.  Would take this with a grain of salt looking at the pictures but still there are some very nice projects wating to be restored.
