Anyone know this GT3?

[bruiser777]

...there is a speed yellow, black alloys GT3 MY04 at Maranello Egam for sale. 10k on the clock, comfort spec by the looks of it, with racing seats.

Does anyone know of any history of this car - road/track miles etc?

Thanks in advance for any info

Yeah, I think it's Manu's old one. Speak to Manu at Scuderia Systems (think it's www.scuderiasystems.com ). Either that or it's his business partner, Ajay's. He should know something about it anyway. He got rid of it to get a 996GT3RS, that's all. He loved the yellow GT3.

No idea, but there is a speed yellor with black rims MK1 GT3 at Specialist Cars if you need another option.

No, but I can tell you that the front discs are worn and the holes are showing cracks. The wheels bolts have also clearly seen a lot of action although the wheels look ok. Did these cars come with 6 pot calipers as std? This car has them.

Interior and exterior look clean.

I'm not yet a punter, I just popped into Maranello's at the weekend for a look around.

PS it also has a rear cage.

The six pots were standard on GT3 Mk2s IIRC.

That is Manus car after he swapped it for a GT3RS. He never drove it on track and being a business partner of Verdi it will have been extremely well looked after.

PS It also looks the nuts with those black wheels. Never seen a better looking GT3 in my life.

thanks guys. I am taking it out this friday for a test. I have bought from maranello's before, and got great service.

Will check the disks and bolts.

Give Manu a call at the website address I gave you. He's the previous owner and it may also help your bargaining power finding out what he let them have it for

Careful of buying a car under manufacturers warranty from a non porsche dealership. I know someone in the PCGB who bought a porsche under manuf wty from a non porsche franchised dealership. The car went wrong and the warranty wasn't honoured. He took it all the way to Andy Goss etc.

Seems that the warranty would have been honoured if he had bought from a specialist but wasn't in his case as he bought (I think) from a BMW dealership.

If you want to buy the car and value the warranty, i'd get confirmation from porsche that they will hounour the warranty.

Good luck, these are great cars.

As I understand it, if the car was sourced in the EU there should never be a problem, so long as the service history has adhered to Porsche' requirements ...

[singh911]

Chris - my info is probably out of date (twas a Boxster) and you're dead on - but with the horror story i heard, its defo worth a call to porsche to confirm imho. In writing's even better altho the words blood and stone come to mind.

Track mileage is not an issue in a GT3 providing it has been properly maintained. What is more important is rev range 2 activity. Get a printout from the ECU and check for rev range 2. It is measured in spark activity, ie; 1 unit = 1 spark. So if the car has say 1000 rev range 2 cycles, the engine spun 166 times over the rev limit
