996 manthey

[Redeem]

I recall that this has been covered in another post a few weeks ago but this one sold by 911 virgin looks very good on paper. Why has it not sold yet ? Each time I go on 911 virgin's website, I look at it as it looks beautiful. I am not in the market for one now as I spent my money on another Porsche a few weeks ago.

lovely car but you can probably get a standard right hand drive with less miles for the same money

Henry seem to price these GT3s where he feels they should sell and doesn't lose his nerve if it takes time for the buyer to come along.

prob smaller selective market within an already selective market, that and the TD season is almost over and winter is upon us

Thanks for the response, my apologies to ask the obvious but what are the two red things on each side of the engine lid (see the 7th photo). I think the car looks great

I think you're meaning the bonnet pins? It's a cup car engine cover so it doesn't use the standard engine cover latch, just some pins & "R" clips to hold it in place.

Is it something that is on all 996 GT3 ? I did not have this on my 996 turbo

Errr have you even read the advert?!

Limited market, and suspect that LHD will put a lot of potential buyers off, but I would certainly consider if looking for a GT3. Lots of heritage.

Only disadvantage is perhaps that those not 'in the know' might assume that you've butchered it yourself?

[monthefish]

Was this the one there was a thread about recently? ("which would you have - mathey or pukka GT3")

[DiscoColin]

Because almost all of the target market wouldn't be looking to use it for 4-5 months, so why would it sell now? Same story as the modified 3.8 at JZM. I suspect that they will either go for cheap over the winter or something like what they are listed at in spring personally.
