Car looks the business- great spec…..
BUT - personally I think being the 9th owner
would put a lot of potential buyers off

Agree, that may be seen to stigmatise it.

Also, assuming these cars are now garage queen ‘toys’, rather than ‘track hacks’, I would expect it to have PCCBs to be the ‘ultimate’ spec.

Of course, these could be retro-fitted, at a cost, but would be brand new, so last the life of the car.

I think this will go down to how deep 1PTS pockets are.

Jonny finance are you tempted to have a bid? I know you thought the modified one was a good buy at its original asking price of £140k?

Hi GT4 RS. I’d honestly love it back and know DK have hardly driven it since I sold plus looked after faultlessly with service. Afraid I’m in the skint club - again !

125 +fees now... 10 hours to go...

[Cheib]

My prediction it will “make” £140k plus……

If the new owner stumbles across this thread, I have all sorts of details and info on the car, knowing every mm

I also have more photos of it (inc the obscure) than my children ????

Photos are making me drool.

Why do some cars have a black centre painted steering wheel and some have an anthracite grey? I like the black..

No idea - I prefer the grey that came in mine and afaik no option from the factory at the time to change.

Not sure on different steering wheels available, without special request, like Al’s sister RB car, but I always loved the feel on this one.

Mine is anthracite also -

Yum. Folding buckets. Had those in a 997 GT2 and must say, divine comfort.

Definitely a lot nicer than the fixed! But my other half still complains its too upright and uncomfortable! Which is fine with me as she doesn't have to come

Same with mine but I do quite like the look of the black one.

Love the painted centre console. One of the options I wish my car had.

[IbanezDan]

I saw two cars with painted centre consoles - red and white. Didn't like it - but if I had a PTS car I'd want to show that off more so think it looks good. Carbon centre console still the favourite for me!

Another vote for the folding and yes my wife was similarly negative although not as bad as her complaints about the seats in my Exige.

[jonny finance]

Those folding pews were also available in leather and until recently one could buy a set from
Porsche at not too bad a deal. Goodness knows now - prob £10k

Carbon console for me.

Yes nomex only in clubsport cars - or leather in cars with Folding buckets specced and no CS package. I like the nomex, never too cold, breathable too and lets not forget - race

Identical to mine, love it. But do worry as I see a lot of cracked ones and milky ones on ebay. Hoping mine stays nice and vibrant/uncracked for many years to come.
