This was very similar to my dad’s one, his was a 98 SVR that had never been raced so converted to a hybrid spec between SVR and SV to get it sold as the race series was scrapped. Shame I was too young to drive it before he sold it. And out of all the cars I’ve been in this one got my heart beating the fastest. Good video, unlucky with the rain

Another dream drive shared. Sam would you prefer a new 911 Turbo S (or wait for latest) or a 930 Turbo fully restored? . Rolling around in my head is everyone saying don't buy your dream car, however you did with the 360! I feel safe in the new car but feel the 930 I treated with kid gloves, did you feel the same when you had your first 360?
