Default My new 993 C2S L555 Paladio Mirage

Hello, I am so keen to show you my 993 2S.
After a 997 C2 and 997 Targa Phase II, both macadamia, I did not want to wait for the 991 Targa
I finally decided to touch the real Porsche Mythe and bought this 993 2S, November 1997, 104 000 km. Mirage/Paladio color paint, midnight blue interior.

Welcome to RL. We don't see this color very often in North America and I've never seen it combined with a blue interior ... it's usually black or cashmere.

Apparently very rare in Europe too. This color was actually made for the forthopming 996 I guess

Gorgeous. C2S already so rare, with those options that really is a rare car. Probably safe to say only a handful of those made it over? Congrats.

It's a pure a dream I am living. A definite keeper.
It is is pristine condition. Only had it for a week.

It goes to Porsche Dealer next week for a total leather refurbishment, cleaning inside, outside, BT to the Becker CDR 21, colored logos for the wheels,

Welcome! Great color...I like the change from almost Arctic Silber in the garage, to a brown/silver in the parking lot. Appears to be one of those colors like Arena Red and the ultra rare (as well) Vesuvius that changes drastically with lighting. Enjoy her, these are special little cars with their own personalities!

So if your car is your new girlfriend, she comes with multiple personalities! Or more like varying hair color, which is easier to deal with....

Great! I know how you feel about "sleeping in your garage'...the color is beautiful...kind of a warm taupe/silver in some light. 993's are very special as you seem to be finding out for yourself.

Are you planning any upgrades or leaving stocK?
