Anyone know more about this car (other than the school garage couldn't shift it for donkeys)?

[Scrogger]

I know the car. It was owned by a member on here 'ted walker' probably worth a pm to him.

lovely looking car which appears to have been very well built.

[Shurv]

I like that, that's very tasty.

And me, though yellow wouldn't be my first choice. Makes a 28k RS 964 wanna be, look expensive IMO

Like to know the build detail.

IIRC, that price is a lot less than The School Garage had it on at. If all checks out and you can live with the extrovert looks, it appears good value, and if Nick Faure imported it, that's probably a good sign.

Yeah quite a lot less than the school garage but then it was unsold there for 2+ years!

It was also badged as GT2 back then & was quoted as being 390bhp so I'm not sure what mechanical work has been done-will update later once I've spoken with them

If you happened to have a prang in that car is it still possible to get replacement fenders, bumpers, skirts etc? Think it looks great but availability of body panels in particular would worry me.

It does identify ECU remap and sport exhaust but doesn't it need something more to carry off the look?

Still, very nice.

Interesting looking car. And LHD too..

I like it a lot. I wonder what it's like to drive. My 993 was a bit boaty really, I'd hope it would be much sharper and more responsive.

Is it the same car??

If so buy it. I've had a nosey around their garage (school) and I was blown away!

[birdcage]

Does it go faster or slower than ir did when it came out of the factory due to the changes?

It's a personal choice buy I would see zero investment potential in a model that does have some appreciation potential.

Been on sale almost as long as the Malton RUF if its the car I'm thinking of.

[LaurasOtherHalf]

It definitely is the same car that's been for sale for all those years, though its now been stickered up & badged slightly differently.

I left a voicemail with the dealers & they've yet to reply so I assume they're having the bank holiday weekend off? Either way I'm still none the wiser on what has been done to the car other than the body mods.

Quite what body mods have been done I'm not sure however? I previously just assumed it had had wide body turbo style wings fitted but I don't think that's the case now. There are no side repeaters on the front wings for a start (how does that work come mot time?), so are these fibre glass extensions or something else?

I'm ot a fan of lhd, but it appears in the photos to have been very well put together. Keep us posted

100bhp more now apparently...

Not a fan of the car personally though the owner is a gent and a bit of a Porsche fanatic.
He's got another car for sale with school garage at the moment

I really quite like that, for me its the right colour for an extreme Porsche. I would like to see that in the flesh, Mmmm...

[m33ufo]

Looks better with the DP badge on the rear as opposed to the GT2 emblem.

Think it looks great but it's a standard 3600 993 lump - all be it with an ECU flash.

I'm guessing it may be fibreglass since from some angles those wheels look lost in the arches. I nearly bought a DP Motorsport widebody kit for my 964 widebody project a few years ago - that was all fibreglass. Ended up going for factory steel arches instead after having a chat with Steve @ Jaz.

Shows the fibreglass body kit but its different to the yellow car & obviously it isn't fitted to a 993

Looks like a 993 to me?
