2004 Porsche

Porsche 968 Club Sport Race/Track day car

Overview: Purchased originally as a genuine LHD Club Sport road car I decided to prepare the car for racing and/or no compromise track days.

With that approach the car was developed into what you see today is probably one of the best prepared 968 race cars in the UK.

The car is eligible for CSCC Future classics, MSVR Team Trophy and with some modifications (some of which I have as spares) the Porsche Club Championship in Class 2.

For 2012 the car was entered in the MSVR Team Trophy Series where the vehicle achieved a number of podium places.

The car has been in storage since the end of 2012 along with the parts and spares package. The car has had only 4 events since EMC gave the cylinder head an overhaul.

The car is still UK registered SORN and therefore ideal if the new owner was looking for the ultimate Track Day 968 Club Sport or re-born project road car. Whilst this car has been a race car...it has only seen limited use. The investment placed into this car was intended to reward a number of seasons use; unfortunately, divorce has forced me to review my activities!

As I stated earlier, the preparative approach was without compromise and therefore please consider the quality of components and workmanship which is evident in the photos and any physical inspection will confirm.

To summarise

This car is ready race. This is a well prepared car and the result of a no expense spared approach. I do not want to criticise other 968’s but anyone who has seen this car in the paddock would agree it’s one of the best prepared available with no expense spared.

This car cost in excess of £34,000 to build (including the purchase price) and if you have ever built a race car you will know you could not build a 968 for less (unless you wanted to go slower!).

If you want a chance of WINNING or simply want to leave your £100K GT3 or RS safely tucked up at home and have a great 968CS for track days…then this is the car!
