RHD's were circa that price about 12 months ago... the market has moved a lot.

Italy is a good place to buy LHD high performance cars.

There was a 991GT3 black LHD ready for delivery several weeks ago to a customer who spent time in Europe so probably his old car

The ad says UK spec. Not quite sure what the implication is but seems unlikely being LHD?

Probably implies rear fog and headlights have been converted for the UK

The dealer tells me it is a UK supplied car (by them in 2010), with a UK spec (code C16?), but LHD since the owner lives and works both in the UK and France. I hope to see the car tomorrow.

this car was on the Porsche used car locator for a fortnight or so, then disappeared.

In reality, would there be any difference between a C16 car and, for example, a German market car?

In terms of spec I don't think so. Many people say the LHD cars are a better drive due to the compromise made for RHD adaptation. German's generally look after their cars to a higher standard than the UK (they have a saying regarding considering their cars their favourite child).

The Brits are ahead of the Germans in keeping the karosserie perfect.
