aha yeah it's a cat d, but depending on what damage was done? is this the one that was advertised on PH & had the off at oulton park? in which case it had a little bit more than a front bumper iirc?

anyone know if it is that car?

anyone know the true history?

There was a thread on here some months ago about that car IIRC. It was being sold by Charles of Windsor IIRC.

The original owner is a member on PH, and posted loads of pictures of the car after he'd stuffed it very heavily into the armco at Oulton Park? Either way, it'd had quite a big "off". Looks like the same car, as it too had an RS rear wing.

Would a 997 GT3 really be a Cat D just because of a bumper?

Even with the cost of a weeks worth of car hire thrown in, I can't see it myself.

Oh, I know.

Just thinking that some sellers must think every buyer is a mug!

If this is the infamous Charles of Windsor car, the original photos showed a lot of damage underneath which would have needed a re-shell to put right properly. Scary; it would have to be very well inspected, and even then I'm not sure it's worth 80%+ of the unmolested cars out there.

Edited to add: Photos on page 2 of this thread of that car:

Just had my thread removed `Charlies GT3`.

Conjecture apparently

Even though the previous owner recognised the car as his.
It's a 997 GT3 clubsport in white. Cat D with slight bumper damage and the unusual change to a non GT3 carbon spoiler.

So lets just say BUYER BEWARE and thanks Pistonheads for removing the thread that was actually just a heads up to save poor individual from spending hard earned money without some prior warning.

Funny how PH hasn't removed the thread bashing my car (hence unabling me to sell it) even though it is actually known from a lot of people here,and recognized as being in mint condition, and one of the good ones out there...

But yet when the name "Charles" is named they close the thread!!!

Note to PH: my car, even not advertised on PH as of now, is advertised by someone who regularly uses PH to advertise some of his cars.

Re: 'PORSCHE GT3 STUNNING CAR' at PistonHeads.com

e-mail from ABUL BASHAR - who is advertising the car...

"I bought the car as a Cat D and all repair work was done by Charles of Windsor who I bought the car from.
You can go into their website and call them for history.
Also Porsche dealer in Central London Chiswick had done the servicing.
