SO it seems to have started life at SuperVettura Sales Ltd and seems to have had a great deal spent on it.
(normaly I see these mods as, it's had a crash insurance has paid out and bought newer parts) but that may be just me.

Is that a plastic centre lock-alike?! Roll cage in black? That's a very white shade of black! Otherwise - nice.

Quite possibly, but some people are also a bit obsessed with having the latest look. But I think your crash story is quite likely as it would have cost an arm and leg to convert to gen 2.

I hope this doesn't turn into a repeat of the last 'white GT3 for sale' thread....

Interesting it's not for sale through Dick's OPC showroom. Presumably it doesn't qualify for Porsche warranty although has genuine Porsche parts? Looks nice but the cost of the mods alone would be the difference between p/xing it for a genuine gen2 RS scratchchin

Such a difficult car to value

Exactly, hence the possibility that it was crash repaired and 'upgraded' at the same time. Like the Orange RS in the other thread.

It also claims to have the 3.8l engine. Nobody in his right mind would do these mods if the car was not badly crashed...
