Someone snuck in a put a deposit on the nice 997.2 GT3 at Porsche Chester i was close to doing deal on so back to the drawing board.

Does anyone know any back ground on the attached

Its had a few owners and Tony the garage owner bought it for himself but now is selling it on.

Its quite distinctive so some of you guys might know it or even have owned it.

Thanks in anticipation

Bump.

Nope. I do recall seeing a video about Tony buying this.

Very nice looking car but IMHO it is a great shame so few 997.2 GT3s were Clubsport spec.

Hi Digga

Thanks for the reply.

I have since found the reg number is SG10VMM and have seen it posted about on PH by SlickHillsy and dropped in an email.

Thanks

What a beauty

I have to say Tony from Gravelwood is a funny guy, I’m not sure how he makes any money because lots of the cars have been there forever as he explains in the video!!!

Probably a cheeky bid of £90k on this one and he will be happy to see his money back!

Thanks for the responses guys, I also got a really helpful response from the previous owner too, thanks Mark.

I am off to see it tomorrow so hopefully it looks as good in the flesh. it will be interesting to drive it as I reckon it’s been about a decade since I last drove a GT3.

I rang 911Virgin with the intention of dropping by to see the white one he put on the website last night but another buyer was finalising the deal and Tom rang back this afternoon confirming it was sold. Despite that Tom was happy to talk for ten mins and gave me some great advice, what a good chap.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Thanks all
Ed

I think that’s one I owned - loads of owners (I think I was 8 or 9) but a really well looked after car

Sometime multiple owners can be good on a nice car as each new owner is happy to spend money on the new purchase!

Only downside is people get hung up come sale time ,just the 10 careful owners Sir

Drove 3 hours down to see this today.

Wow what a machine, deal done, just need the inspection to confirm it’s as good as I think and a new MOT then it will be with me.

Thanks everyone that posted and yes neilsss2 I do believe you were one of the previous owners.

Cheers all

Nice work,I must have posted several times that this was worth a look at and lucky for you it’s yours,enjoy

[Frrair]

Thanks Juno

It’s rather fabulous and I feel I got a good deal on the trade of my GTS as well.

I am trying to suppress my excitement until the inspection comes back... and failing on that front.

Cheers

Fingers crossed but I’m sure Tony would have already done some due diligence so should be fine!

Well after 6 years with this GT3 I have decided it’s time for a change around.

It will be off to a dealer on SOR in 2 weeks time.

It’s been a mostly road trip car, down to the Alps, around some of the best bits of Scotland twice and loads around the Peak District.

I never did get into track driving, just did two, both PCGB events, one at Donington and a wet morning somewhere else out towards Norwich way.

I did enjoy the 2022 Mezger meet up and it is still wearing its sticker with pride.

The last road trip we did to Austria but we took my then daily 718 Boxster which was pretty good on all counts and we enjoyed the GrossGlockner with the roof down so after that the GT3 got a bit sidelined.

Without far fewer road trips and no track days I just don’t use it enough so I will probably get 4.0 GTS, Spyder or maybe even a Spyder RS if they go down to about £100k someday.

One of my fave pictures from a certain road in Scotland some may recognise.
