Default Jet Black 3.6 Turbo in UK

http://www.paragonporsche.com/sales/....asp?ID=786795

Paragon have a lovely jet black 3.6, I think this was for sale last year with about 50k miles, it was sold by the time I enquired about it. I remember them saying it was the only jet black one in RHD. I wonder will they get that asking price this time around ??

This is Graeme 36s old car.This time at a higher price - it will be interesting to see if it sells
when my old 15k mile X88 is still for sale at not a lot more.

I have the colour codes from Paragon - 700 and KZ2
According to Adrian`s book they are just listed as black - was `Jet` an official colour ?

Interesting story with this car is that the first 2 owners were women. One went into a Porsche
showroom with a video of Bad Boys and said " I want one like that ". They duly obliged.
a women we would all like to meet ?

The funny thing was that I wondered what such a woman that had a bad boys 911 turbo would look like. She was late 50's and the spitting image of hilda baker glasses and all. I kid you not. She took me for a spin and quite happily was running 90mph in a 40mph limit. Never judge a book buy its cover.

Now my fantasy is tarnished too!
Hi Graeme , do you fancy stepping back to a 3.6t now or something else to replace the GT2 ?

My 911 3.2 was 'jet black' on the logbook, didn't check the porsche colour code though.

This is not the only black 3.6 in UK, asimler has one, but not sure whether his is metallic, sure he'll be along soon. (not black interior though). How come so few black on black, that has got to be one of the very ultimate combos for the 911?

I guess you have to come here. The majority of the 3.6 T's imported to the US are black/black. Nice looking car but with that mileage here in the US we would be asking closer to $59k instead.

it has sport seats, which come not that often. I find them really comfortable and supportive in my 3.2. My 3.6T is black but not metallic and I not sure I get the difference there...
Jet black..wasn't that an 80's Mini limited serie??

can't resist posting a pic or two of mine. the colour code is L741, never been able to find out what that stands for though. Pretty sure its not metallic looking at the car but its definitely had paint work done.

Sport seats...well done. Your interior is very very clean.
My car in L 741 as well. Such a gap with the 3.2...
I'm thinking of putting a 993 wheel in the T 3.6, which I find looking a bit more modern, but I wonder if that's possible.
