I met a guy who lives in Napa, CA with a cab in this color (I think they only made 12 cabs in Wimbledon green), and
fell in love with the color. About a year later I found one right down the street from me in Los Angeles and bought
it. It’s a great car with 114,000 miles, so when I found this one with only 50,000 miles, I decided to buy it as
well.
It had low miles but was parked outside in the Florida sun, so paint was faded, dash was cracked and hatch carpet
is worn. I removed the dash and had it recovered in leather. I got a quote for replacing the rear carpet but this
is the only thing that I did not get around to (see photos of carpet).
Recent maintenance:
All new Gates belts and rollers, cam chain tensioner pads, timing chain, valve cover gaskets (1/5/15)
New Yokohama S-Drive Tires (2/17/15)
New brake pads and rotors, front and back (1/5/15)
New euro front blinkers
Replaced stock seats with seats out of a 2013 Cayman (I still have the stock seats to go with the car,
if desired), and wired electrical to work correctly
Leather dash (Removed dash and had top recovered in leather)
Full re-spray at a shop that knows these cars, so had all new rubber seals replaced as well. Paint
looks like new.
Fluids changed: oil, brake fluid, and coolant (1/5/15)
Design 1 Racing short shift kit
I have a clean CarFax that I can provide, and recently passed California SMOG. Has the clear power steering
reservoir, which is very rare. I have original books and leather cover, and 2 keys. AC blows very cold, actually
colder than my other 968 for some reason that I would like to figure out.
I am only selling because I came across a 1993 Porsche 928 GTS 5 speed with 60,000 miles, and of course I still
have my higher mileage 968. This car is ready to go with all maintenance handled.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
Porsche celebrates Le Mans return with Martini edition 911
Tue, 10 Jun 2014If we've said it once, we've said it a hundred times - but we'll gladly say it again: there are few racing liveries as iconic as Martini. And while those stripes have adorned countless Lancia and Ford rally cars, grand prix racers (like the latest Williams) and even speedboats, they remain inexorably tied to Porsche. Fortunately that point is not lost on Porsche itself, which has lately put them on its own 918 Spyder, race-spec 911 and all manner of merchandise. And this is the latest.
To celebrate its return to Le Mans this year, Porsche Exclusive is offering this special Martini Racing Edition. It's based on the 911 Carrera S, which means the more potent 3.8-liter flat six with 400 horsepower, but upgrades, as you might have guessed, with a whole mess of Martini Racing stripes and logos, along with the Aerokit Cup front and rear spoilers. The badges and stripes abound inside as well, where you'll also find such optional extras as the Porsche Communication Management system, Bose audio and black leather electric sport seats.
Porsche is offering the 911 Carrera S Martini Racing Edition in either white or black, but unfortunately not in our market - just in Europe, China and Latin America. Those who miss out will (in certain markets anyway) be able to order the decal set separately though. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans
Tue, 27 Aug 2013How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
