This hasn’t moved for a very long time, and the online MOT checker seems to think it’s not had its first test?!



I’m not sure if it is an actual GT3 or whether it just has the aero kit.


From the photo it looks like the aero kit and wheels. But, I’m hoping it’s a genuine GT3.
I'm pretty sure its an Aerokit, not a GT3. Just doesn't "look" right to be a GT3, they are on the deck stance wise, significantly more than a regular 996. Happy to be proved wrong though but a simple glance inside would tell you for sure.

This appeared in my YouTube feed today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPFikn43FGY

An abandoned Saab dealership in France. It seems that wheels and grilles have been popular with the parts hunters.

This lives locally to me. Mostly in the garage, but occasionally on the drive for a dusting. Supposedly been there, unused on the road for 30+ years. Interior looks old, but basically ok.

I feel a bit sad to see that. We had one on the family fleet for several years. An ex-rental that we brought home from a holiday in the Canaries.

Great little cars but never officially available in UK.

I'd be fuming if this was outside my.house, looks like it hasn't moved in a long time.
The Civic looks real bad state too.

The most interesting/rare cars seen in a relatives rear garden recently. There's probably close to 30 cars in there ranging from Moggy Minors to Daihatsu Charades and mk3 Fiestas and such like.

Well its an ordinary place / state to see one getmecoat

There was a (previously lovely) lotus excel on an old man's drive not far from me until recently.. slowly sinking into the drive.. didn't want to post a photo though in case it attracted any attention to the poor guy's house.
