Many thanks for the feedback siheb. Did you find out the mileage on the new lump? From the add I think it is date related (year 2000 fitted from memory)

Ref the bold above, I can see why your interest died away.
Problem I have is I have an Alpine tour and a few track sessions planned this year in my RS but at the same time they are selling for crazy prices now so swapping to this 996 will make me not worry so much about mileage/wear and tear.
I'm not sure what the current value of a 7.1RS is at the mo; there is only one for sale on PH; the orange one for £130K. Mine being LHD means in the UK about £10K less??? Then I have no idea how to factor in a barely run in 3.8l engine and around £100,000 of unique mods. To all intents and purposes it is now a cross between a 7.2RS and a 4.0l but a fair bit lighter and more mental. As there is no other to compare it to I have no idea of value

The water is muddy with this one Siheb, has seen the massive spec and the the invoices that accompany this car. A similar mileage standard car sold over the weekend for the same asking price of the Zanzibar car. That should tell you what the £100k worth of mods to your car are worth to a wider audience.
Yes, they'll be the occasional track day junkie who'll want a massively modified car, but pay a premium for the privilege ? I'm dubious. Your car will appeal to a very small demographic, but as their values rise, the market will get increasingly sniffy about modified cars.

If your car is LHD, I'd try advertising it in mainland Europe for a premium (not sure how much) over and above what the other LHD cars are selling for.

Many thanks for your opinion here Slippy I also read the other post about back-street garage mods. My car has been maintained and built by the best in the business Teichmann Racing and VGS-motorsport. If you are familiar with German Porsche Cup racing and VLN you would, I'm sure, have heard of Raceunion or RTR as they are better known by logo (Raceunion Teichmann Racing); they are probably only matched by Manthey.
I really couldn't replace this car; it's performance is utterly devastating but at the same time prices are such that I could have an NSX, R500, Ultima, S1 Elise, and a 993 all together for the same money.
It is so horrible to have such a weapon but always being eyeful on what would happen if I prang it. I am off for an afternoon session at the Ring GP circuit tomorrow. I already know I'll be wheeling out my 996 instead. It's such a shame and leaves me in this predicament of not knowing what is best to do...
I am pretty au fait with man-maths and even applying all it's glorious principles are getting harder and harder justify.

I see a great business case for his and hers, or his and his, or even his and also his


I think that is Slodge's old car

Parking sensors in the rear bumper? Odd modification, all porsche drivers can park

I REALLY like the spec on the red 4.1 GT3, I see its still for sale. Don’t suppose the owner would like a swap for my Very well sorted 996 X50 turbo

That car would make a fantastic hillclimb weapon

Hi chaps

Yes my old car. Didn't have the side graphics on during my ownership. Another 6GT3 I miss!! Not quite sure how it's gained £20k in 6 months, but that's the crazy car market we live in.

Cracking track car, after all the mods less great on the road. If anyone is interested happy to tell you all about it. No bad stories, loved and looked after by me and RPM.

Have a good weekend.

Cheers

Slodge

So I guess this is a silly question, but does anyone know what my 996 gen1 GT3 might be worth ? 70k miles with FSH and lovely condition. Not looking to sell but the prices do still seem to be increasing.
