Feast your eyes on this beauty.







 
......... it's missing the Mobil oil sticker in the engine bay ...... :nooo:

....... ;) .......

Love Riviera Blue ........ and also like the Fuchs ....... am I right in thinking that this is the only 993 C2 that came from the factory in this colour ....... :?:
 
Thanks for the comments! It's been said it's the only rhd C2 in Riviera from the factory, but I'm not so sure. Porsche of course keep no records of particular colours to which territories, typical.

Dave Nunn's interior is a work of art, black nappa with the light blue stitching, and the forged Fuchs are a love/hate thing, I of course I love them.....

My favourite colour along with black wheels.

Why is it not a standard Porsche colour? i.e. not special order

I notice the current Boxster/Caymen colours are getting a bit more adventurous.


Is the small convertible behind it, in one of the photos, a lotus 7 replica of some sorts? :?:
 
Hope you've not done yoour dough on it chum :what:

It looks like the oil sticker is on the fuse box so move it or get a Mobil1 sticker from isaydingdong :thumb:

Although I think on the earlier non snorkel engine the rectangular Shell Oil sticker was the default
 
Simply stunning car that one. Spoke to the nice chap that owns it....Apparently it can sometimes be seen out and about with another blue one :)

Mine in Riviera up front with Paul's slighter darker Mexico behind.

What a great photo, my two favourite Porsche colours :thumb:
 
Simply stunning, we need to see more 993 restos...

That looks great, particularly the retrim with colour coded stitching which lifts the interior.

And on the RS' too. Shell sticker on the fuse box cover and with snorkel engine...guess due to being the early test bed for the varioram.

I'd have to agree being more than a little bias, Riviera is just :cloud9: Nice car BTW Mike, Southbound's done a cracking job of the interior :thumbs:
