Liking the K410 for sale with JZM. Well used but shouldn't be an issue if well maintained. A car you could buy and enjoy without worrying about piling on the miles or the odd stone chip. With the Manthey upgrades arguably a more exciting driving experience than a cooking '3RS?

Proper piece of kit that, sensibly priced too. And yes, it will sound waaay better (and drive better too) than a stock 996 GT3 RS.

It's a good 'un. Some paintwork to one rear quarter, two piece disks, well looked after and a genuine car. No skeletons in the closet.

Strikes a happy medium between well used track car and show and shine investment.

Hi Paul, I hope you're well ?

I'm guessing it's Rob L-G's car ?
As I said earlier, it's a cheap car and a lot of bang for the buck.

Yes very rare to see a fast car on track days, when I did these back In The day, it was always this car which was lapping as it should.

GT4 , that’s interesting. Maybe feels the 996 a bit slow vs the modern era of cars and the boaring upkeep costs on older stuff which swallows £££.

Plus a GT4 is always a nice place to be to travel to the EU tracks.
As we all get older it’s nice to have a turn key solution.

New article written for Evo by Richard Meaden just this month. Not sure if I'm allowed to link here but just search for "History of the Porsche 911 GT3 - driving the original 20 years on".

Enjoy!

It's either Dale Winton Orange or David Dickinson Bronze, I forget which?

wink

Unrelated there's an early 986 Boxster that knocks about town in Zanzibar, looks terrific-not sure if it was PTS back then?

I believe it’s Jordan’s “Radiant hint of slapper”
The first Zanzibar red car I saw in the flesh was a 986 Boxster. The only problem was, it was a dull, dank wet day, and it looked absolutely horrible !!
Not sure if it was PTS on non-GT cars. I’m sure a sandal wearing beardie will be along shortly to confirm smile

Porsche pinched the colour from Nissan from the old Micra driven by freshy's lol, a rank colour but it's all personal.
But that what I think of when I see it.
