996 mk2 GT3 - anyone know this car

[Jamesyg81]

Went for a look yesterday.. very good first impressions, but looking to see if I can find a bit more history. Given the mods I’m thinking there may be a build thread on this car.

Any thoughts? Cheers.

It has been up for sale for well over a year. I was going to look at before i bought mine but heard horror stories about the dealer.

Just make sure you get it properly inspected

IIRC £64k when it first appeared, perhaps more.

Ive bought a car from them. They were unorganised and a little cluless but to be fair the car was very good. I'd get it checked out by a specialist. There's one literally down the road

[Jamesyg81]

Thanks mate - do you know who the specialist is?

If its the car I remember, when i was looking years ago, maybe 2013, the owner at the time gave me a passenger lap at Spa. IIRC, he had the car for years and developed it into a really good track car. I think RPM did the work for him and he used to be on the forums.

Great spec if you want a track car. Market seems very slow so good time to be a buyer

Thanks Mitch, you’re spot on - loads of work from RPM. Was then purchased in 2014 and stored.. looking good so far

I cant help but think this would be a far better bet

Unless, that is, you wanted a pure track weapon because driving around in a fully caged car without a helmet or airbag is not something I would ever do
