Each to their own, but for a Mk1 it seems a bit rich to me, when 2003 Mk2s are about for 45 - 50k

I wouldn't bank on that.

The MkII had a lot of improvements --- only the Weissach v. Stuttgard issue makes it a worthwhile alternative.

And the rarity of the Clubsport.IMHO.

Yes, but the MK2 has CUPHOLDERS!!!!!! MK1 is the only way to go....

[sweeney tod]

what about the value?

[maximu5]

While a (standard) MK2 undoubtedly is a better car (disclosure : I own a MK1, with upgraded brakes, steel synchros and more horsepower than a MK2), I would attach more importance to condition and low mileage (and if that matters, taste). 13k miles truly is low mileage : I was at Le Mans last weekend and a 996 GT3 with 80k miles - 50% of which on track - was still going very well.

Rare car, with only 28 ?(i think) Club Sports being made !

Price wise, I think its good.. I understand its had 4 owners, but with 13,000 miles I would want to spek to one or two of them !!

I paid just under £50k for my mint 17,000 mile non Club sport !

And before the moaning.. I know I could of got a nice MK2 buy hey 'Its not a MK1' -

what about its a repossession?

I always worry if a car has such a low milage. They need to be driven (although 80k, while a good effort might put me off) Guess its like anything - the market will dictate the value and there is always a special car that that will break the "ceiling price"

As long as you have a CLEAR HPI when you take delivery of the car, and a letter from the finance company confirming its clear.. it will be ok !

I would want to check all the history out with Porsche GB and then speak to each dealer to see what has been done..
Being a repo.. I would also want to have a full set of keys, and if not I would book her in for the key codes to be changed ! (but thats just me)

Remember,the history and service history is a hugh thing on these cars...

MK1 Clubsport tho.. Don't come along very much, so worth putting the effort in should you be looking for one !

You thinking about it ?

[sweeney tod]

i am looking for a mark 1 club sport

Kenny Dunn in Edinburgh has a Cobalt Blue GT3 - 2000 MY car - looks very nice - low miles - reputable enough guy too. Think he wants a shade over £40k for it - I'm no expert on whether this is a good price for a GT3 though?

I was of the understanding that only '1' Cobalt GT3 MK1 was was maded in RHD.. And that it had been re-shell'd ??

[edinandrew]

Can't comment whether it was the only RHD one made - what does re-shelled mean?
He does get hold of some pretty decent stuff though - has had a Ford GT that he sold along with a number of other rare stuff - knows Porsches pretty well. This GT3 does look nice in Cobalt.

Re-shell'd..
Means -
The car has been damaged and the chassis is too badly twisted to be put straight, so all the bits that can be saved are taken off and put into a new shell, where the same chassis number is used.

[Kickstart]

I was going to have a look at the Edinburgh car - has it been re-shelled ?

[edinandrew]

No idea if been reshell'd. Kenny usually knows his Porsches and where they come from. The car has a Rivervale cars sticker on the back who I believe are based in Brighton so you could always get two opinions as they must has sold the car at one stage too. Looks very good value if not. You could always get the chassis number - would there not be a record of such work being done somewhere?
