£125k now, someone has a good sense of humour.
Maybe that's the way to sell them. It used to be keep reducing the price till someone bites, these days if it's not expensive enough people will fear it lacks desirability and avoid it so you have to keep upping the price until someone bites. It's clearly too cheap at the moment, will probably only sell once it's north of £200,000 
The issue with race cars is they are only worth something if there is somewhere to race them. And they're only worth serious money if they can be raced at prestigious events. This is why a lot of McLaren F1 LMs are being converted to road cars, because that's where they are worth the most money currently.

30 hour (competition) engine life between eye watering factory refresh £££££ 
I'm glad someone made that point. Not the best racecar to own...which is why they were millstones some years ago.thegoose said:

Would it be possible to run a cup/endurance car with a stock GT3 engine in it? You'd only lose 10-15% of the power but would not have lifed components to worry about, whilst still having a race chassis/gearbox, etc?
hi f,yes in theory, big job mind plus along with gt3/cup engine you'd need associated wiring loom & ECU to start with.

Far easier to weld a cage into a road GT3. But if you're going to race it, engine and gearbox will still be "lifed" unless you want to keep going until they blow up during a race.What happened to scom ? Since the big price boom they dont seem to have flourished. Four or five years back they used to have desireable stock esp. on the 993/964 front. Nowadays though their cars all seem to be the ones that nobody wants many of which have been up on their site for 20+ months. In the meantime the likes of JZM seem to now be the market leaders with all the good metal. Has there been a change of management or investment level ?
It's the chassis and build of the GT3R that's so different --- 1100 Kilos only including the massive LeMans roll cage.
Yes a GT3 / Cup engine with ECU and loom could be fitted, and the original engine moth-balled.
The other problem (apart from the short lifed components in racing) with the R engine is noise. It was designed to shed heat via the exhaust and it doesn't therefore take kindly to trying to fit a "quiet" exhaust ...
Hence the GT3 engine is possibly the perfect solution ... first find your engine !!
