cant deny it looks very keenly priced and assuming its gone through some prep and now has a 2 year warranty

Obviously took inspiration from the gen2 rs decals & colour way. These particular rims shared with the gt2 look far better in silver, muscular if you like.

"Interesting" colour scheme. Might be someone's bag, but it's a niche within a niche as it stands.

Not the end of the World to sort-out if so -wished, but would involve having quite a bit re-painted (mirrors, wheels, cage, deck intakes, gurney, badge...).

Assume it needed 4 new tyres, and they've cheap-skated with Bridgestones - the single worst tyre I've experienced on a 911. Not much place for them on a GT3 in my view - especially a track-focused one.

Other than that, it looks a reasonable price for an OPC car.

Does anyone know this car? 7 previous owners, so I assume one at least is likely to be hanging around on here?!

Considering this one looks clean and tidy and will come with a OPC 2 year warranty and must be very well prepared, the sticker price of 75k looks fair.

Personally the red wheels, stickers and cage aren’t for me and will limit it’s audience. Be better off putting it back to standard and it will sell quicker.

looks a great car, peal the stickers off jobs a job.

I would swap the wheels anyway they weigh tons and keep them for a set of PS4s.

Get OPC to fit N spec cup 2's free as it's a GT3 init and it's the best value CS for sale with a 2 year warranty.

Then the 7.2 RS isn't for you either, which of course is not to everybody's taste. Of course, this here is a copy and not the original but that should not devalue the colour combo per se

It’s not just peal the stickers off, it’s repaint the wheels, paint the cage and replace some interior trims as well!

Can’t see why this wasn’t done before listing it for sale, very limited audience now due to being tarted up.

I bet if you turned up at an OPC with that car for an extended warranty it would fault the 100% OEM check....it’s mot OEM sir.

Lose the decals, replace a few painted badges, paint a few bits of trim back to original, refurb the wheels to silver (or black...?) and to my eyes it’s a bit of a steal. I like the painted cage as it lifts the rather dull cabin. Although the listing changed from 1 owner to 7 now!??!
Sorted for how much - £2k maximum? Negotiate 2k off the price and get them to fit the correct tyres and you have a nice GT3 with 2 years worry free motoring. What’s not to like....

What's wrong with the colour scheme? Does everything have to be Grey/silver/black in Porsche world?

Most car parks are a sea of dullness these days and I applaud the previous owner for standing out from that crowd; it looks a lot of fun.

what interior trims ? looks all oem inside to me.

the cars very cheap to get back to normal vs say that CC silver CS car which every one loved.

tarted up vs a tatty mis serviced car , I'll take a mint tarted up car every time and whites the best colour on 997's.

the cars cheap imo I am sure you could get the tyres done free, the rest is a none issue for me, those wheels weigh a ton so I would just those as wets.

get them to not offer a warranty and knock another 2k off to cover tyres etc, you might see this for £70k.

if the car is offered for retail it has to have teh warranty on. the buyer may be able to negotiate a 12 month rather than 2 year warranty but it wont be retailed without a warranty
