Says not recorded????!?!?!?!?

So it could end up on the road again as a low mileage mint car

[Vesuvius 996]

Jesus holy mother of god.




I can just imagine - no, sir, it's a minter. Only 7k miles.

Looks like it fell backwards off a car transporter/trailer!

Can change them manually on the 996 dash. Would suggest Spa or Ring incident.

When the battery has been disconnected for a period of time they default back to kms

Looks to me that the bell housing of the box has been broken between the 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock points. Or are they all like that??

Ah yes, but the write off of another red one means they're becoming closer to the rarity of the blue cars.

True.

Let's see, would I rather had something that is rare and good looking. or something that is slightly rarer and ugly?

On further inspection, the bell housing bolts are still in the block, well three of them are.
It looks like the gearbox has been removed by force.The amount of force required to remove the box is far too much for body to take, creepy.
Same sort of thing happens with bikers when massive forces are applied to them. Their boots nearly always fly off.

Looks like its taken some kind of impact to the wheels on the off side, the near side looks fine. I suppose it could've always gone over something, and ripped the 'box out.
