Saw this on AT, a number of things don't ring true with it being a Turbo: Age, Dash, Valance, price, but what is really odd is that colour!! Is that an original Porsche colour?

funnily enough I saw that as well.

Its definitely not a Turbo but it was the colour that drew my attention to it, at first I thought it was grey primer - thats why I clicked, maybe just the lighting.

Had a full respray and some work on the sills - last few inches are black.

The design 90's are the wrong offset for that year, look pretty lost in the arches.

When anyone in the trade is looking for a low price it would suggest that up close its pretty rough (normally anything semi decent that can be passed off as"mint" will dictate at least a £2.5-4k price even if its not mint), also it annoys me when people who sell cars don't know or don't describe them properly.

Having said all that you could possibly do worse as an intro to Porsche motoring!
 
colour looks like crystal green to me...

certainly not a factory turbo

maybe a turbo engine transplant?
 
Perhaps it's the only RHD factory prototype still around [:D]
After all, first factory protypes made between 1983-84 had A-series dash, windshield, brakes etc.
