Just seen this 991.2 Carrera S advertised at Guildford Porsche.

Is this ‘Ruby’ as previously owned by Semerka...?? 🤔

Good morning Simon, indeed it is my ex love, Ruby! 😇
Are these shots from a Facebook page?

She doesn't appear to be much desirable to buyers. I dont' think the full bordeaux leather interior is for everyone. It does make her special though.
Plus she's not got a sunroof, which I think is a plus, not a minus.

The OPC did not take very good pictures of her, so they need to wait for someone specifically looking for this classic Porsche colour combo. 😃
She is like new, really, fantastic car, just missing the manual box for me.

Looks great in real life! :D

(But is it just me that's intrigued by the strange narrow pipe system running alongside the guttering in the second photo? What is it, and more importantly, do I need one? :? )

Got me intrigued too, I'm guessing some kind of irrigation/sprinkler system.

Car looks lovely in real life, just needs a black wheel for me.

Haha, you are both very inquisitive! 😅
Checking with my sister, who's house it is. But I think that it might be a lighting conductor, earthed.

P.S. It is a lightning conductor, leading to the ground at all four corners of the house.
Rain water from the gutter is diverted via other pipes to an underground storage though, so not wasted. 😃

It looks like Ruby has now sold, she's disappeared from the Porsche approved used search.
I hope she gets driven a lot now and goes on a few road trips. 😃

Thanks for the research Semerka - the whole car-port looks beautifully engineered; must be overseas! ;)

Yes, it is in the Czech Republic. I must admit that we are very jealous of the car-port. 🤣

Hi Semerka,

Yes, I saw Ruby on Facebook. So glad that she’s now found a new home. Hoping she’ll cover lots of miles! :)

Cheers,
Simon
