This stunning looking 993 Speedster was tooling around Carmel looking for a parking space. Well, I had to go and talk to the driver, didn't I? I love the look of the car, and for all the cars that I saw over the 12 days in Monterey, Carmel, Laguna Seca, Pebble Beach etc, this was on of my favourites because it was so unexpected. Everyone knows what a Veyron, a 250GTO, a Rolls Phantom drophead looks like, as great as all of these cars are. This 993 really had an impact on me because it was such a surprise, and so beautifully executed. It uses genuine Porsche parts, which is why it looks so right.

Apparently Porsche only built two official 993 Speedsters - One for Ferdinand Porsche and one for Jerry Seinfeld, neither were red so either this is a beautifully crafted replica or has been re-sprayed at some point. I want it so much it hurts....

The (ex)Jerry speedster is the only 'real' 993 (blue) Ferdinand's speedster is a 964 converted to grey 993 speedster.
