Does anyone know it?

Does it has any skeletons in its cupboard?

I dont but see if its got the original alloys with it as its advertised as having 19's

[darronwall]

That's sat on 18s in the pic,looks lovely

[WindyM]

Agree it's on 18s. I think it's lazy advertising copy/paste.

Looks tidy in the pics, but missing the front splitter. May have been removed for greater ground clearance or never replaced if ripped off?
Worth finding out where it's been serviced and give them a call. They may be able to shed more light on the car....

No xenons, near side exhaust tip looks like it could be rubbing on the bumper?

Lovely in Speed Yellow though..

[DasChin]

it has xenons. all mk2 GT3s did.

you can tell by the bulbs in the head lights.

No headlight washers = NO xenons!

[LordHaveMurci]

That looks stunning.

Still rather have a Zanzibar .1 though

Correct. Just regular factory halogens.

I don't believe the regular GT3 had a front splitter it was only in RS guise that it did

Not so. The regular GT3 has one.

Don't lose sleep on no splitter they get caught and ripped of on a regular basis,I'm on my third in 10k miles

[Dan911]

I think i would be looking at this too...

splitters are cheapo to get on ebay. £130 from 9apart or just do a search

I thought Halogens were Xenons? all gas discharge based?

[WindyM]

Thanks for all your tips and eagle-eyed spots, but I'm going to wait a few months. With the announcements in Autocar and Evo that the 991.2 GT3 will be available with a manual 6-speed, I'm going to gamble on a slight market correction and the possibility of a 997.1 falling down through my £70k budget threshold by the summer...

Good luck with that strategy. Are you also hoping it comes fitted with a Mezger, Hydraulic steering, cable handbrake, no RWS, limited digital interference... as it is more than just a stick shift that draws people to the 997.

Haven't bought one for a while but used to be even cheaper than that if you bought the Motorsport splitter from Porsche, slightly larger than standard but only around 85 quid if I recall.

"Strategy" = your word. "Gamble" = my word.

I fully understand your point (and I drive a 997.2 non-GT for 4/5 reasons you gave) but my gamble is based on the speculative, flipper "cats" getting distracted by the latest thing and allowing us "mice" to play again.
