My brother was packing to move and came across this gem.

 

I've seen the brochures, but have never seen the box set.

 

Nice find Smile

Great find, a gem indeed ! Love the photo also, which once again is a testimony to the classic lines of this car, arguably keeping it looking as modern as any current automobile , and likely for yet another decade ...after which I predict people will look at it as they do now at a ( Ferrari ) Dino .


Not sure if it's just the photo distorting the real color of the car, but I love that bronze/copper shade and I thought I read somewhere a few were produced with that factory color, or was it just a prototype color which never made it to the market ?

The car is definitely a bronze/burnt orange color...I wouldn't mind having one in this color.

I have one of that very nice color 968 MO30, now here in Australia and it is in a real life even more beautiful, even better than my mid blue cab which is still waiting either to be the transported to Europe to do the trip on a memory lane at Nurburgring, Hockenheim, Zolder etc. or to sell in USA.

Anybody interested in, e-mail me for info and photos: m.wekara@optigolf.com.au

The blue cab is a good looking car. At least it was the last time I saw it at the Glen.

At least on my iphone, the box cover looks like that copper color in the smaller photo, red on the brochure inside, and I believe it's called Coral Red, in the large photo of the box cover.

I like em all!
