    Really beautiful turbo and IMO had the better of the 2 engines offered in the two 997 turbo models. If all the carbon fiber had been done at factory this build would have been at least 10-15k more. With an average mile per year of ~650 the fit and finish are well preserved. It will be interesting to see if all the fabulous after market fits will drive the bidding north. If this turbo had 3 pedals the value would not be calculable. Good luck to the seller!
