Read article in Total 911 today. Didn't realise there were so many trick bits on this car. Can anyone tell us a bit more about some of the gears designed to be easily interchangeable for different circuit? Very good read. Last real drivers car without electronic aids out of Stuttgart ever!
Which article? Is it a recent mag?

Is the car featured currently on sale at Hendon Way Motors?

Looks to be the same car? I've just ordered the back issue as looks a good read.

I've got that issue. Same old GT2 comments that you get on every forum (last of the crazy 911s, risky in wet weather, hard to drive fast, about to rocket up in value etc etc). The car in the article looks like it's been sprayed all over with tyre dressing, compared to your car unclepezza it looks very untidy smile

The money shot from this months GT Porsche! Have a few more if anyone wants to see them, thought it only fair to wait until the magazine was out before posting them.

Took my car out earlier today, it's done about 30 miles in 6 weeks so needed a run, it tried to swap ends on a slip road under about 60% throttle, it's now tucked up in the garage again for another 6 weeks!

I'll be up for another GT2 meet up when the weather improves a bit.

If anyone does decide to look at this car. Please advise me of any plate changes it's had in it's life (and what the plate numbers were).

IF (and I do stress IF) it's the car I'm thinking of, it may have an "interesting" past. I say as much because the spec (specifically the comfort seats and non stitched steering wheel airbag) mirror those of a car I know has a history.

I've just booked Le Man24 using travel destinations to stay in the PCGB camping area, and will be driving down in the GT2 on the Friday. Could be a good run down if any other GT2's are heading down drop me a PM, as we have a pretty good convoy shaping up so far.
