It’s not far off 997.2 gt3 RS money, my bet is your money would be safer in the RS than this one.

It will sell, but to a limited audience.

Will also depend as to why you buy it. If buying to drive ( and the existing mileage suggests you will ) then arguably it’s expensive but could well be the last chance to do so.
If buying to lock away and never sell then price probably doesn’t really matter anyway.
I imagine someone will do the former though.

Have you been to look at that black one yet at JZM or decided spec is really too basic for the money ?

Agree, mileage is high and its modifications lend itself to be used rather than locked away.

Not been yet as I only landed back from Spain yesterday, plan is tail end of next week.

I’m trying to work out if it has any extras. From what I can tell it’s only got the none cost option CS pack ?

All being well with work next week, I would
like to arrange to view it Friday.

I’ve been looking at options since I sold
my 718 gt4!

My 718 gt4 was shark blue, never been a massive blue fan until I took delivery.

[GT4RS]

The reason I picked shark blue was it due to it being the closest I could get to a voodoo blue, as I wasn’t able to have a PTS allocation at the time.

My only concern with a black car is it shows light’s scratches quickly.

It’s probably 30/40k off a reasonable condition gen2 RS, and if you find a PTS RS that’ll be 50/70k off. It’s relative.

Spot on 30k spread between these two.

Never seen a pts rs 997 gen 2.

It could be a wrap. It shows on the DVLA site as "multi-colour".

Pretty confident this car isnt a wrap - so we have a minimum of 5 Riviera 997 GT3's (Excluding RS) in the UK. I suspect this isnt as holy grail as originally thought... speed yellow is rarer for a 997.2 GT3 UK car - Ive never seen one.

It’s looking like there’s definitely 5 Riviera blue cars, I’m sure owners will play this down buy until they’re all lined up in a row we will never know.

Let’s not forget there’s a world outside piston heads to and could be even more than 5.

He said in one of his Driftworks videos last week that he was going to relist the car at a lower price because he's now put everything back to completely OEM. It's also possible that it sold in the interim.

I believe he’s new trying to sell his e30 m3

Now is your chance

Few years ago last RB perfect low mile one advertised and sold circa £125k
Today one finally comes to market £140k
Wait another few years and it will be £200k
Get the cheque book out

Good job you didn’t jump in feet first jonny finance, the blue one which you predicted to be £200k in a few years just had a whopping £10k slashed off its asking price!

Sure rare car, blue isn’t for me, also don’t like the roll cage in blue. 150-175k guide price seems optimistic. 8 owners too, can’t have felt that special to keep with so much transferring of ownership.

DK have owned that themselves for a few years.

8 owners seems a lot, considering how rare some consider this colour to be.

Did the other one sell for 130k

jonny finance said:

It was. I was 2 of those 8 ??

Third time lucky and all that!

Would a colour really have a premium of £40-50k over the white one I purchased in August?



Not a Clubsport but fitted with factory fitted folding buckets and front axle lift.

Beautiful, yours is lower mileage, lower owners, strong porsche history. I’d say you have one of the best ones available.

how it is

Shame they have painted the cage and played with the interior.

Can’t see it selling fast at £150k to £175k, good 997.2 RS money.

Either way looks a nice car even though it’s been played with.

Two riviera blue ones on the market the same time. Common as muck

Thought this had sold?

[GT4RS]

Orange Blackbird said:

The car on Carhuna has stalled at £105k. Less than two days to go now. What do we think it will sell for? I’m guessing at £128k.

Surely it will go for higher than 128k ?

There’s one or two on here who think this is as good as it gets for 997 gt3 ownership, if it only get to 128k surely they will have a bid.

[GT4RS]

I think this will go down to how deep 1PTS pockets are.

Jonny finance are you tempted to have a bid? I know you thought the modified one was a good buy at its original asking price of £140k?

IbanezDan said:

169950 total..

Dk made some good profit out of owning that car for a short while!

Probably bought buy a big hitter collector to be locked away and never seen again.

B
Common as muck lately... Another Riviera blue GT3 - did this belong to anyone on here? RK11NZP - WP0ZZZ99ZBS780644 I think this may be the ex press car?

Priced up at 159,500!

Does look like the press car.

I believe Dk sold one for similar money not that long ago.

Orange Blackbird said:

Still cannot get in my head why a blue one would be worth £40k more than any other colour one? Sure it’s a nice colour and probably worth some sort of premium but £40k?

It’s lead a harder life being a ex press car too.
