Thoughts on this spec?

Commissioned in 1998 by Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah, a member of Kuwait’s royal family who later served as the country’s Prime Minister, this 911 Turbo S was built with virtually no limits, finished in a unique Paint-to-Sample shade known as “Vanilla Yellow,” a soft pastel tone with a greenish metallic hue that was extended to details most cars leave black or silver, including the vents, controls, instrument cluster, and a fully customized interior trimmed in bright yellow and orange with wood accents and his initials embroidered into the seats. The car later made its way back to Porsche in Germany for a factory restoration before reappearing decades later with barely any mileage, showing only 86 miles on the odometer, making it less like a used supercar and more like a preserved special order that spent most of its life out of sight.
