Rivera Blue GT3's

[MJS]

Does anyone know the history on these 2 cars, they are expensive but other than viper green RS this is my favourite colour choice?

The 997.2 car was owned by Factorypilot. Try a PM to him.

£80k for 17.5k miles, you have to really like the colour.

67k for 19.5k miles and the old tech, you must REALLY like the colour!

[cayman-black]

Ha yes your right just looked at that one. Stupid prices.

[Zyp]

Are they both really overpriced?

Edit - I guess the non OPC one is quite a bit more expensive compared to other cars of the same age/miles.
If I had £80k in my pocket I'd probably have the OPC one... Hang the cost....

Depends upon your point of view. The 991 GT3 is expected to be announced in a few weeks and equally is expected to make even an £80k GT3 look like quite a nice price...

I can't believe that Riviera Blue cars STILL for sale. Must have been for sale for three years. I have know idea why - it's beautiful. Originally for sale at Morgan cars and I see its still one owner, so obviously never sold it.

I've had my car almost two years and remember dreaming of owning a gt3, staring at this one. Six months later I bought my white Club Sport

Funny how some cars just aren't taken?

I personally think that both cars look fantastic in RB and it's a colour which would be on my list for certain if I was in the market for one.

GT cars for certain really suit bold hues.

I wondered whether the gen 1 car was the one for sale at Morgan cars that was up for sales forever..

Tbh i am looking for a gen 2 car and at that price and miles it's way too expensive (for me) at the moment.

A lot of the stock at Williams in Cardiff is on SOR. They rang me up a while ago when I had a BMW for sale - they got me in with the promise of a decent purchase price which quickly turned into a derisory offer. They were very eager for me to give it to them on a SOR basis though. Personally didn't like the guy at all.

Riviera and Mexico blue are easily my favourite Porsche colours - just perfect on GT3s and RSs. Sorry I can't help with the histories, but great choice and happy hunting!

I was at Parr when the Williams car was having it's Cargraphic exhaust fettled last August. It's most definitely unsilenced but it's a bit too much for my liking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tOfaZyLudg

Sounds lovely but no good for trackdays or even keeping the peace with your neighbours.

Is this definitely that car? Beautiful colour and really surprisese that it's not sold. It was up for a reasonable price toward the end of its tenure at Morgans?

100% it's a very specific spec, right down to the blue vents, half leather buckets and RS wing. The silly decals have disappeared thankfully.

I love it. But was really after a CS when I bought mine.
