And yes, I know about the dealer, Google is my friend. I'm interested in this particular car.

What do you want to know?

I know the car probably better than anybody.

It is simply incredible, 1 of only 2 Guards Red 997 GT2's in the country, looks stunning & drives like a dream.

I had the pleasure of taking it on the Lakes Run on Sunday:

PM me or indeed ask me on here, I will answer best I can.

That's because it's red. Guards cars command around a £5K premium wink

i find their prices dont make any sense, they are dearer than main dealers on some cars I looked at there.

I think the fact that it's Guards red AND a Clubsport make it more difficult to establish its true value in the market. But for someone who wants a GR 997 GT2 with the added perceived benefit of the CS pack. It'll be worth the asking price.
Furthermore, on the basis that good 996 GT2s in GR seem to be sought after and popular, I suspect there will always be a healthy market for a GR 997 GT2 (in the future)

Looks lovely.

Don't know if I would go for a yellow cage and red exterior though. Seems odd combo.

Either black or matching red seems to make sense in my head.

Make yourself a cup of coffee and have a good search on here and Google via the "discussion" option.

I know of 2 (well, KNEW of 2) for sure but this is also something I would like to know.

I would buy a yellow one in a second if one were to come up

I have never seen one for sale or in person in Yellow, Guards or Speed would be my choice. Second question is anyone have a rough idea of how many 997 GT2's came to Britain ? 100 ?

Does it have N rated tyres and a transferrable warranty though? wink
