Don,

I never heard of a 1992 C2   " Turbo look" .
Is this a real production model?  Or is it just a "normal"  C2  which has
had a body-job?

There is however a limited edition for the 30yr jubilee which has a sort of
Turbo look.  They used the under-carriage of the C4 and this is the reason
that the body coundn't match the real Turbo due to different brakes and
suspension.
Check for the plate on the back of the hood.    Under 911 is the text " 30
Jahre" .  Exactly  911 where build from this Jubilee series..

    Turbo-look has been an option on 911s since the Carrera started in
84. Fairly rare, but common enough to find one if you look. Porsche
would give you the suspension, brakes, tires, and body of a turbo
without the engine. On the 993 and up models, the turbo-look
designation is S and it became very popular during the 90s.

 Dear LH,

 I'm sorry if I sounded unfriendly, which was not intended. Your reply
stated the C2 turbo look, but in fact Don was asking a question about a
convertible C2 turbo look and not a coupe.

 The 30 Jahre edition I know as well and was indeed built 911 times.  This
was only made as coupe. You stated it has a sort of turbo look, but in fact
it is the original turbo body. To my knowledge it is not a carrera 4
chassis, but also the brakes and suspension of the turbo type. As explained
the C2 convertible is a rare item. The exact description is Carrera 2
Cabriolet Werks Turbo Look (WTL).

 I donot have any specific book, but on the internet there are very
detailed info's to be found. You could also try and contact Porsche in
Germany. I ran into a salesguy in Essen on the yearly Techno-Classica fair
and he send me a beautiful CD-rom with all the models and technical
information. They even had a copy of the original brochure for me. This is
typical Porsche after-sales!
