I am looking at acquiring a modified 996 GT2 and need to get the car inspected.

The car is located in the Bath area - can anyone recommend anyone to do a complete and thorough PPI on the car?

I guess you are looking to buying the Polar Silver GT2 that Mr911 sold previously.
Car has obviously had a lot of money spent on it at Fearnsport.

I would suggest you get an inspection done by Peter Morgan...

But if the car is in the same condition it was when Mr911 last sold it, then it is a great car.

It is indeed the Silver GT2.

A lot of work was done on the car by JZM, Fearnsport and Regal Autosport and I have done my homework and spoken to them.

Car is going to Porsche Centre Swindon for 111 point check.

didnt a recently quite-popular dealer-experience thread highlight the total futility of said out-of-opc "inspections" - i.e. they hold the same value as unofficial warrantys!?!?

Pretty sure Khushy's on the money - was it Exeter OPC?

The OPC check is just a bit of extra security.

I have already spoken to 2 companies that have worked extensively on the car and reported back saying that it is a good-un (Fearsport and Regal Autosport).

The car has only done 2,000 road miles since they both worked on the car.

The car is over 200 miles from me and the seller is paying for the OPC inspection.

As long as nothing MAJOR is highlighted it is a done deal.

Why I get the car back up North (Lancs) I will have Jasmine Motorsport give her another good going over as they are literally 5 mins away from me and they will be servicing and looking after her for me!
