It's been a LONG time since I've updated this one. Car is still one of my favourite cars ever to drive. Since then I've put in the Porsche Classic Communication System with Apple CarPlay, which is really nice and looks period correct.

I've also put in the Carrera RS wheel (last one in stock globally in Cobalt Blue!), and a couple of small things. Hard-wired dash cam front and rear, new floor mats, RS America exhaust.

Period correct license plate too.

You can't beat a black car when it's clean and shiny!

Thanks! Plates were in the family since 1983, last stickered in 1986. Left the stickers on for patina.

I appreciate you reaching out with this act of kindness.

Coincidentally, on the weekend a friend oh-so-generously offered to take the 550M to a car show this weekend, on my behalf. He'd have to drive it all the way to Guelph; so he offered to take this dubious task upon himself!
