996 GT3 Gen 1 Club Sport Numbers
Discussion
This is also my understanding, although at the most recent tot-up only 22 ? could be found ??
It's quite possible having trawled google around the RHD world that there are only around 70 Worldwide --- with around 240 LHD CS cars.
That would make non CS around 1500.
Interesting to consider that they are as rare as the last Mezger 4.0l in the UK --- with the benefit of being the first water-cooled RS equivalent and with Weissach being given free rein to ensure that the new GT3 entrant would fully live up to the air-cooled RS legacy.
Of course there was no RS version --- hence the CS was it.
There were 1300 x 2000 year cars and around 500 x 2001 cars which had a significant number of modifications that were included in the Gen2 cars. Steel synchro on gear ratios 3, 4, and 5 ? Electric mirrors. I have a list somewhere !
Interestingly, would this make the first 1300 more desirable, or the second 500 ???

The old titanic GT3 owners web site said there were 28. I don't think it exists any more but you can see the last snapshot from www.archive.org here :

I fancy getting one soonish. Specialist cars of Malton just sold one for 100k. CS car with 25k mike sin silver. Had POA on the ad but I called up to ask. Quite a strong price.
Hi I have a 996.1 CS which I'm thinking of selling. Have owned for past 12 years. Has had a K400 upgrade by JZM and 996.2 brake upgrade with stock suspension with fast road set up by Parr. It's done 53k miles and SY. Pm if interested. Sensible offers accepted not looking for unrealistic money. porschegeoff said:

Sounds a perfect carChrisW. said:
How many Gen2 Clusports are there in the UK ??
The total was around 280 in the UK --- of which CS would be ?
But I think it was only the Gen1 that had the single mass flywheel --- and of course there were also 130 ? Gen2 RS versions ---
I've been told by a semi-official source that around 25% of the MK2s were CS spec. They are certainly rarer than the RS. A good number have also had the LWFW fitted back in the days when they used to be tracked (an increasingly rare sight these days).The total was around 280 in the UK --- of which CS would be ?
