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!
I can't remember the original ad @ 140k but I seem to recall there being quite a long list of mods included

Personally, the more and more I look at it and as exclusive as it is. I don’t like Riviera that much on a GT3. Love it on an RS though.

So here really is the perfect example and spec RB
It’s auction and result will determine and answer the often discussed hyped value and ‘it’s only worth what someone will pay’

Be interesting to see, but somehow even in these troubled times - I see it making a big number and rightly
so ….

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

Genuinely think it would be nicer without the blue cage but I wouldn’t put a 30-55k premium on the colour. I’d sooner have any colour RS.

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.

Personally think white looks better but I’m biased 😃

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

This RB GT3 May show multiple keepers but helps if you know history file and in this instance it’s been owned by two people twice. Also, I know who every person was and as one knows, you can have half a dozen care freak owners or a shockingly terrible one owner.

This car is first paint, perfect OPC stamps, killer spec and most importantly, proper proper mint in all respects

The only detracting factors for me personally; the cage and belts were black out the factory. (Nice enough job though..) oh, and if your being forensic - One alloy has been refurbed due to mark.

I did own my 997.2 RS three times, again bumping up the previous owners nicely but not happening on this. It will make too strong a shilling for me

My 991 gt3 has had quite a few previous owners, but I bought on condition and it being the spec I wanted. As above one previous owner regretted selling and bought it back, too

Always liked them in white and yours is a lovely example but not CS so difficult to compare anyway.
I guess auction will decide Jons old car value.

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.
