Anyone know either of these cars and their history?
The ex Seawise / Kurgen car #0969. Looks a bit better than it did at the 'ring.



The asking price is ridiculous.

Enquired about this car in Jan/Feb when it was at JZM for 57k at the time, was on SOR and needed new ceramic discs and also paint was a bit iffy in places as it had been wrapped by the previous owner. Agree crazy price.

Tis a crazy price when you consider there is a private one for the same money still for sale albeit in red on PH's.
JZM wouldn't have hidden the cars previous history though this other mob seem to be

The damage wasn't that extensive and was repaired by Manthey Motors so properly done. However the asking price is an insult to anyone who follows these cars. Sold on SOR by JZM to current dealer vendor sub 50k, now advertised for more than 25 pcnt mark up in the space of a few months.... Laughable.

Comedy pricing ?

Seems to be 10k more than equivalent cars which have sold recently at this mileage (good ones at jzm, 911v and privately) but also a private sale to boot with sod all in the way of dealer facilities or SOGA ?

Maybe then again maybe he's in no rush and he's benchmark is the ex seawise car and unaware of its history.
Only other one presently is the Slades car with missing history but 5k miles.
Been inspected by someone on here I seem to remember ?

Another good word for JZM, I bought my Gt3 from them and Jonas was a real gentleman and very open and honest, also the little things really made buying the car a fantastic experiance, when I arrived to collect the car it was parked in the centre of the showroom under a Porsche car cover, once the money was sorted we all went through and Jonas and Russ removed the cover to reveal a beautifully detailed car which they then spent plenty of time showing me around and really made me feel like royalty.

All in all the experiance all made for a wonderful day collecting my dream car and the memory is still fantastic.
Comparing that to picking up my wife's range rover from a main dealer when they pulled it up outside still half dirty and virtually chucked me the keys left me cold and disappointed.

I'm not sure I would ever change the car finances allowing, but we're I to change I would definitely be looking at JZM for the replacement.

I believe Marcus at Autoperform, aka Goose on here, has a very nice low mileage 996 GT3 RS coming into stock shortly.
