I was told similar when I ran TVRs. Running in was not only about not exceeding the Rev limits initially, but also about not lugging the engine (too low revs in too high a gear). The advice also was, once warmed, to put some load on. After the initial period, once full revs could be used, it was suggested that once the engine was warmed, on a longer run, you should try to run it up to the limit.

However, my hunch is the Porsche GT engines have, for some years, been built to considerably higher tolerances and standards that the venerable Rover V8 block.
This imo and no reason not to do the same on the GT3.

And has steel brakes.

And is 17 17 reg.

Some questions on the mileage too. Says 12k miles on part of the ad and odo and 7k on others. Probably confusing km with miles lol.

The other point is if it was registered 17 17 and had its first service in October 19 then it was serviced late and any warranty could be questionable.
