Looking forward to be in touch with fellow Felsengrün drivers!
Cheers,

Hi Simon. Big congrats on that beautiful 993 Targa. I 100% agree with you on the beauty of Granite Green. I have this 1988 928 in Granite Green. It's cool because it takes on different hues in different light.




I also own this '98 993 cabrio. It's a fantastic driving experience as you are likely finding out with your Targa! Best regards, RJ.

Shame that the OP's car has been stolen...would have loved to see some pics of his car.

I will get the car as soon as the weather will be a bit better over here in Germany, currently it's been raining cats and dogs for the last weeks. Hopefully I will manage to drive the 600km from the 993's current home to its wilnew home within the next 14 days.

Regarding the colour "Felsengrünmetallic" or "Granite Green": I was hooked when I saw the car for the first time and researched a bit about it as a 993 colour. Didn't find anything except this thread, so I came over here. It used to be a colour to choose for the G-Model, 928 and 964 as far as I know. So my Targa's first owner choose it from the Porsche Exclusive program.

I will gladly post more pics once I have the car in my garage. The interior is bi-color "Kaschmirbeige and black". For now I upload three more images for you guys.

Looking forward a lot to driving this beauty.

Cheers!
Congrats with this very nice 993!

As I'm following the market for 993s in Europe closely, I think I saw this one before. It's a really neat car. If I'm right, this is the car that was advertised by a dealer in Hamburg for quite some time. At first I found the asking price a bit steep, but I hope for you that he got a bit softer on the price after 8 months or so?

I think both seller and buyer were happy at the end of the day.

Try to source a wood steering wheel & shifter to match E brake handle- Now that would be special!!!

Wooden shifter was factory ordered. Seems to have been lost/changed through the years…

Beautiful car, congrats! The heated seats will be an added bonus in the winter months.
