Are there really 47 GT3 tourings in the UK (C16)?

15k plus miles (properly used yes, but it will impact how silly a price they can demand), no extended leather (plastic dash, which is a pity on a touring) and steel brakes (i think the market prefers PCCBs especially for a road car). Otherwise agree, very fairly priced and sold accordingly quick.

This one actually has full leather inc dash and red stitching

I think this is a very nice spec, PCCB aside.

My guess is the original owner sold it back to Aberdeen for a new touring allocation, probably at original list price.

Yes that’s right, he gave it back early for a new touring allocation. I was testing them on the price and he just said they felt tourings had inflated prices and they priced it fairly in their mind (and they still made a “good profit” out of it!). I’m thinking yeah i bet you did!

I'm glad I had covid when that ad went up. Saved me even having the option to think about that car.

Haha - I’m still beating myself for just missing out. Well, the ceiling has now been set right

Dear all, fascinating read this thread! Lucky many of you with this great car.

I am looking to buy a 991.2 GT3 Touring but none for sale in UK right now.

I am now looking to import a LHD and will figure out steps/duties/vat next days. If anyone knows a good company to help with this then appreciated.

The main question however is whether there is any RHD UK car for sale, or anyone potentially interested to sell?

Thank you and Happy new year to all!

In February 2020 I bought a 991 Touring from Germany. I found a low miles one owner car on Mobile.de, dealt directly with the dealer by phone and e mail. At my request and cost, he arranged for an 111 point including over rev check. The deal was done and funds transferred to the dealer. I then used My Car Import at Castle Donnington who arranged enclosed transport, conversion to UK lights, IVA, DVLA First registration, 12 months tax, number plates, customs fees for £3,850.

The car arrived on my drive in Mid March. It was immaculate and exactly as described. My Car Imports were very efficient and took all the administrative strain despite this happening as we went into the first lockdown.

One thing to be aware of is that if you need the VTS Tracker there can be issues if a previous owner has registered it elsewhere than in UK. It was not a problem for me as the previous owner hadn’t set it up. 993rsr of this parish who did something very similar at around the same time knows the detail on this.

Good luck and HNY.

Many thanks Lowndes for the response and the advice! Will reach out to My Car Import and indeed watch re tracker. Thank you

Hi

Have you had a look at this one? Have you discounted this for any particular reason?

Interesting to just watch Chris Harris review his Touring as it has done nearly 50k miles....it’s nice to see a car of its kind being used as a “do it all” daily, including ferry his dog around. I guess the very limited supply of UK cars just shows why he had to compromise on the spec as he discusses.

His first car, black with PCCBs, he ordered and specced from new. Alas that car met a sorry end after an altercation with a stationary pick up. So the ‘banana’ is his second and bought used, thus the spec not to his choosing.

Clearly he’s drumming up some interest prior listing it for sale as his 992 touring must be imminent.

Thank you. I indeed saw this one, the only one I can see for sale in UK. It looks great but as it is LHD I thought I might as well go through some hassle and import a LHD in a more preferred spec. This spec is v nice but I see some other colour ones for sale in EU. But otherwise this one definitely an option and if anyone has a RHD then very flexible on spec! Thank you!

I’d like to know where that yellow car came from as I don’t think it’s a UK car. He said on a podcast that the reason he put a private plate on it was to hide something to do with its history. If a grey import would it have a Q plate?

It’s one of the Weissach development cars AFAIR.

Octane just listed one at £230k!
