This car has been posted on Craigslist for a few months now, but he just recently put up these new pictures of it. Looks in good shape for desert sun car with 214k miles!
Jeff,
I saw your post on .net from about 6 months ago in response to the 1992 Turquoise Metallic 968 Cab that sold - if that was a 1 of 1 in Turquoise Metallic...then what do you think this is?

That is B5 Wimbledon green. That car is RS840159. It is still pretty rare but not a 1 of 1. It is 1 of 12 Wimbledon cabs, 1 of 3 paired with a cashmere/black interior, and 1 of 2 1994 Wimbledon cabs. The turquoise is actually a little darker.

I absolutely LOVE Wimbledon Green...wish it had about 150,000 fewer miles....

They are rare, only 9 coupes in WG. 2 of them are M030s, one was the Motorweek 1993 test car. Google the video.

You are correct about Jeremy's being silver. He gave it a mixed review and ultimately (through the miracle of TV) booted it off a cliff in favor of a Jag X type v-12. His opinion was based on the relatively high cost of the 968 relative to the Japanese imports at the time which were offering similar performance and a much lower price. Later Porsche reduced the price of the 968 and as the video goes on to point out, Jeremy found redemption in the 968.
