Anyone know this 996 Turbo?

[W12GT]

Afternoon all,

I fancy a change and am currently considering a 996TT or 997 or Gen2 Boxster S. I am after something fun for the weekend but still practical. Having had a 987.1 I really fancy the gen 2 but this has caught my eye:-

Does anyone know this car? Does it seem reasonable value?

Nice in yellow, except the seatbacks and belts, but hey.

The rear spoiler arrangement is odd, looks like a GT2 spoiler grafted onto the Turbo's decklid.

Unfortunately it DOES actually look like that.

Yes I'd take that off, fill the holes and get it repainted to return to standard. Also the genuine turbo alloys are available so I'd put those back on too.

Take the after-market spoiler and wheels off, paint the front lip yellow (to match side sills and rear lip) and,that would look lovely

I like the yellow seatbacks belts and stitching too

I agree with everything except the front lip - I think it looks great with the original black lip.

I have seen the car in the flesh and it all looks ok.

It could do with some standard wheels putting on, but for that price it good value for someone.

I had a choice of the yellow one or an artic silver one, i bought the artic silver car .

Just personal choice thats all

Can you tell me a bit about the car - does it look tidy in the flesh? Did you drive it? Any info is much appreciated as the car is nearly 175miles from me and time is rather limited at the moment to go looking at cars that aren't what they seem.

Thanks,
