I’m writing some buyers’ guides for GT Porsche magazine and we need some Porsche 996s for the photoshoot.

Basically, we need every main variant of 996 which means the following cars:
3.4-litre Carrera/4
3.6-litre Carrera/4
Carrera 4S
The above need to be a mix of coupes, Targas and Cabriolets

GT3 Mk1
GT3 MkII
GT3 RS
GT2
Turbo
Turbo S

Ideally, the Turbos need to be in coupe and Cabriolet form.

The shoot will take place at the Chobham circuit in Surrey sometime in October (the date will be finalised soon). You need to be relatively local to the location for obvious reasons but the magazine will pay modest fuel costs (and feed you a sandwich for lunch!).

If you have a Porsche 996 and would like to be involved – these shoots are always fun and a good opportunity to meet fellow owners as well as the magazine staff – do please get in touch.

Thanks guys, stupid browsers... I've added the URL without the wwws so it can be seen as text.

There is a link on there to contact Phil if anyone is interested. Not that I qualify, but imagine it'll be fun!

Excellent chaps.

I may have misunderstood the link problem - please ignore the link in the text and use the mail icon to the top right, next to the Twitter birdie.

As for condition... "They need to be tidy and original."

^^ similar thinking. i offered the same concept :-)

Original or Motorsport look
Original alloys, silver BBS, or gold BBS

May be the article needs a tag line like 'our kind of meets'

Thanks for all the replies. We are still looking for a Turbo and a Turbo S (one of which ideally would be a Cabriolet), and a Carrera 4S.

Please email me if you can help mail@philipraby.co.uk
