If the pound stays weak then this may further underpin the GT market if some cars go to other rhd markets. And with Spring round the corner and prices stabilising maybe potential buyers should act sooner rather than later

I saw a very unusual blue gt3 being driven yesterday on the A429 heading away from moreton in marsh towards Warwick ,never seen that shade before ,a kind of turquoise blue.
Was either a pts or wrap.
Anyone on here ? Looked good

Sounds like Miami Blue which was an option...have a google there are quite a lot of images/vids of MB GT3’s

No,it was darker than that.

Anyone looking at 991.2 GT3 manual would be mad not to consider 997.2 GT3 RS... proper car, proper clutch, not like the girly one in the 991.2 manual

Plus the engine is ‘cleaner’ that these ‘dirty’ direct injection types in the 991 GT cars!

I think quite a lot of UK Porsche’s end up in Asia, I remember RPM telling me they’d sold a 997 GTS to a HK client...so not just the glamorous GT cars! There were a lot of new cars getting exported directly which has recently been clamped down on by Porsche GB.

A lot of the real collectables go there now .

but it's slower :-) and if you add even 2k miles the price drops £20k !

Great things, I keep thinking about doing the very same, but it's things like the new Engine and light clutch which make me think twice every time

could well be the fastest GT3 Porsche ever make the 991.2 Manual.

I suppose it could be worthwhile advertising our cars direct in that market?

You don't say which variant? I love Cobalt Blue on a 997.1................imo best colour Porsche have ever done.

I think it’s a pretty efficient market....there are a load of brokers all over the market exporting cars out there as well. But certainly no harm!

It generally only works if the car is VAT Qualifying so the VAT component can be recovered on export. At least thats how it works sending late model cars to NZ. Otherwise its not viable. Issue of course is that very few cars of this nature seem to be VAT Qual...

Not as fast as the PDK across ground

It’s faster, as PDK drivers cannot read the road so have to wait for the car to change gear after the bends lol

Manual for the win , sorry to say.

It was a 991 gt3. Gen 2 I think

Porsche Mayfair had a lovely Graphite Blue GT3 for sale few weeks ago that I just missed out. Does anyone have the details of / owner of that car on here ?
Was slightly high mileage from what I remember I think had every option ticked. Loved the spec.

Why either/or instead of both?

Does anyone know the history behind this manual club sport?
