Kenjoje- you're missing the point man- if monkey had wanted an original feel ST he would have gone and bought one! I totally understand what you're saying but don't agree in this case! He built HIS dream car, with money HE earned, spent it with Francis Tuthill how HE saw fit, I love it - I think they did an amazing job between them and would copy it in a flash if I had the Dosh- this car was never about originality....

well, he may be a competent driver but come on, he lost the essence of this car by making it modern in suspension terms and living just the old looks. car's character isn't only in its body and that's the thing he failed to understand.
@kenjoje - Earth to kenjoje, they're all 911's, they all inhabit roughly the same character. He didn't "lose" it's essence, he improved it. Besides which there's nothing wrong with building up a car like this to your specification, it means it's going to take on the character of the cars creator. In fact, you have lost the essence of this cars character!
Personally, I'd have exactly this car, but with an early duck-tail spoiler, in a blinding electric blue. That's about it :p
I WOULD have let the family go hungry 4 abit.... I`m not stupid,i would ofcourse have a 997 GT3 over this,but I`d take this over a 997 Carrera S any day.
This is a wonderful car and having been to the Tuthill workshop a long time ago there really is know one else who does this kind of thing better in the UK. Just bought a Boxtster which will go to them to be looked after.
I was once blasting my 2.7S up this very road when I nearly hit a 911 Turbo coming in the other direction thinking exactly the same thing. Oh how we laughed. I sold the S a couple of months later to put a deposit on a house. I still haven't got over it. 993 next....
I found this video through Chris Harris´ Interview about the new Porsche 918 Spyder. So i have seen the future of cars and the past, i have seen how they used to be and supposed to be, and how they will be, and i honestly want to go back in time!
i like my wrx. but i love german cars done right

@EVILSPAWN1000 Why would you of course have a gt3 over this? Old 911's are more fun to drive.

@snipski0894 Bcoz i`d sell the GT3,build this and still have a shitload of money left over.I thought that was pretty obvious:-)

This car is the best argument against starting a family. How could you put silly things like children ahead of affording this beauty?

The green color is shit, and the front license plate is ugly, otherwise there's nothing you could do to make that better.

I just found out about DR. What was it anyway? A tv show or web based broadcasts??
renewer 2 years ago
DR was a web page created by Chris harris and 2 other car journalist.
the idea was to bring the best coverage of the best cars to drive,by people to love to drive for people who love to drive.
if you loved car and drive DR was the right place to be.
sad that the idea didnt work.
