Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The Guards Red one is lovely, but I'd have to change the wheel colour - far to Halfords for me...

Hi all.
I have a 996 C2 x51 but thinking about trading for a Turbo S if possible.
My ideal spec would be original, manual, coupe, sub 30k miles. I’ve had a good look around but I’m beginning to wonder if there are any left….
Thoughts?
My C2 for good measure….
Would you consider a 'regular' Turbo with X50 pack and carbon ceramic brakes as options? My understanding that the 'S' was fundamentally a set of options on the Turbo with that 'S' badge added on. You might get mechanically the same car, just without the badge.
Agree, it must end up around the £70K mark at which point I'd probably have one eye on a GT2 instead... Scope creep!
Here's one similar mileage and in the best colour too

I’ve just bought a non S turbo, when I was researching it seemed that the bigger turbos on the S were a little more laggy, so my logic was smaller turbos and a light remap to circa 480 bhp was a really nice compromise
It looks like someone from Aberdeen is selling off a collection , there's some very nice cars he's parting with.
Agreed about GT2 , there was that Black Turbo sold recently for high £20ks , pull out the front diff , add some suspension and tear out some interior to lighten it and you've got 98% GT2 for £40k with miles on you don't need to worry about.
