Does any one know how long the black gt2 has been for sale at William Loughrans?

They have had it for quite a while now. I am pretty interested in it. I am thinking about going to have a look at it.

Has any one here looked at it?

Why has it not sold already?

I've had a brief look around this car in Feb this year and it looks a well cared for and immaculately prepared car. It would have definately been in my top 2 cars had I not stumbled accross my current Basalt example.

With so few good, original panelled cars available, I would stick my neck on the line and say this was the best current car for sale at the moment IMO.

Good luck with the viewing.

Yes, and stunning it is too. They also have an Arctic car on SOR which looks like a good genuine example, previously sold by William Loughran.

Just comparing photos of that Loughran one with the Bristol OPC Polar one I bought. Few months newer but no carbon bits and pieces, leather sports seats instead of (my preferred) cloth recaros, but 7k fewer miles and about 10k more than I paid.

No idea about the condition of the PCCB though!

The China plates will need replacing anyway, if car is driven hard or tracked. I did mine in one day at Snetterton. Now have Performance Friction Version 2 front and Alcons rear.. as recommnended and fitted by Fearns, and what a superb brake setup. Mega bite and feel, no fade.

Not so hard to believe IMO, some owners bought these cars from new just for the kudos of having the ultimate 911, while some owners buy with the intent on doing a little trackwork but never get the chance and use their car for weekend thrills.

With so few produced and even less remaining I believe ownership is split into two camps, hardcore trackday enthusiasts and those looking for that perfect weekend car looking to bring back the thrill of driving. Each to their own I guess.

Shall do a new thread on GT2 ownership, once I get the car back from Fearnsport..(should really be the dog's dangles) and after my Ring trip on 4th May.

When I got out of my well setup GT3RS into the GT2, for the first month I thought it was worst car decision, I'd ever made, I hated it.. but 3 months on, I'm really really starting to like this car, like no other I've owned.
