Does anyone know of this one or viewed it recently?

Question regarding the specs of these (just trying to get my head round all the different options) ...does extended leather normally include the dash too? Or is that just doors?

Thanks

Thanks.

Just realised it doesnt have sportschrono, not sure what it does other than stop watch but most seem to have it.

Oh well, the search continues.

Because of sports chrono? It's a wart on the dash that does nothing except spoil the lines...

Seriously , the sport chrono is pretty pointless in GT3s. Doesn't change the map like it does on lesser Porsches. Unless you really, really want to know your lap splits (and can remember to flick the lever each time ) its just the decoration.
The PARR car looks good. Its on SOR though I,m told they would consider part ex.

I know the owner of that car and can vouch for it.

Sports chrono is a ugly blot on the dash board, if you want lap time get a DL1. I've spec'd two GT3's from new and never had chrono.

Thats the car that's been at Dove House. I am assured its a fine example in every way.

It's SOR. Not enough interest at Dove House.
911V have a good record in selling GT3s , especially recently.

yes owned by a chap who knows more about 'Pork' than all the butchers in London. spent ages seeking the best GT3 RS available, but once bought found something else (aircooled) even more special and there is only space for so many cars in his garage. it's gotta be the cleanest and most honest one on the market currently.

I've read that 911v don't do SOR.

Looks nice though!

I find it ugly and useless. Therefore I did not spec it. If you want to know your laptime, get some proper timing gear. The SC is pretty useless for such tasks.

It's not something I would ever use,even if I was timing laps...
However my concern was its one of those options buyers expect to see as most RS's I've looked at seem to have it. If that's not the case then fantastic.

Not so. They prefer not to, but they will, and they've sold two cars for me on this basis. There's a price to pay of course, but avoiding having to deal with time wasters and tyre kickers pretty much justifies the cost IMO.

I had no problem selling my 997.1RS without chrono
