Spotted that earlier when I scanned the classifieds. Maybe I could build my 996 into it.

Only thing I can think is car was bought by some really really rich bloke so he could use the engine for a project.

With the rolling chassis you will also get the registration.

Still a hefty sum.

Not really just a shell though, you get the interior (seats wroth a fair bit) wheels/tyres etc...

If you rolled one and had the running gear avail, then it would maybe make sense?

Wouldn't transferring all wiring and electronics be slightly tricky and costly?

I really can;t see teh point at all.

If you were loaded could you take this to the likes of RUF/9FF and let them run wild or would they need the engine in the first place.

Probably not in the right hands, if it was from one to another, same spec of car!!

However at 40k i fail to see how this is any sort of bargain to anyone, more of a hassle, but as stated, for someone who has trashed their's, then it would possibly be a very good solution.

If it was for an engine transplant, the fella must have plenty a mulla.lol.
