The naff plate and crap photos just make it look like a chavvy old shitter with a terrible colour scheme.

With some white background nice photos and an appropriate year plate, i bet it would have porsche fanboys creaming their pants over how rare a ruby stone 968 is.

Either way - not for me!

That reggie, plus the fact the seller's name is "Nick Record" confuses me. (Yes he could be selling it for his partner etc).

I wonder - does the roof matching the interior make it a Jobbo exterior? :o


Everyone's ok it's an auto, yeah? :P

I also forgot to mention my shudder at the realisation that it is on 16" Cup alloys.

17" Cup1 look epic. My personal favourite, but there isn't much in it.
Image

17" Cup2 also look epic. Marv's 968 wears these.

16" Cups however are an offence to the "Cup" moniker, as they look no no no no no No No No NO NO NO NO NO NO :evil:

Luckily that’s about the cheapest thing to fix/ find on the whole thing 😂

Er, um... there appear to be a number of different shades of blue on the inside which is not nice. Fucking love the exterior colour though. A Marv-alike Sport/Clubsport in Rubystone would be just perfect.

Oi!

I feel seen and picked on before I've even said anything 😂

I haven't driven a tiptronic cab 968, but I imagine they'd feel a bit languid. But then I am coming to it from the context of owning a lighter, manual version, so maybe that's being unfair.

Rubystone is indeed a lovely colour, but outside of your standard White, black, red, yellow and blue 968s, every other colour is rare as they didn't make shit loads of 968s anyway!
Oui, je suis un motard.

In a convertible, I find the auto a lot less offensive.

I had an E36 323i manual convertible and liked it a lot but always felt a 328i auto would have suited the convertible better.
