How about a Jethro 911 ???
Discussion
I see the value in one of these. Care free motoring, not caring about mileage etc

Mine’s also a daily. 110k miles last 10 years (now on 170k), and I still absolutely love driving it.
Few mods - cup wheel, Koni/H&R suspension, X74 alignment, BMC filter and airbox bypass, with rennline SS engine mounts and H&R arbs to come. It can do a 300 mile motorway trip and rip down bumpy B roads equally as well.
Sounds the perfect weapon any pics? Few mods - cup wheel, Koni/H&R suspension, X74 alignment, BMC filter and airbox bypass, with rennline SS engine mounts and H&R arbs to come. It can do a 300 mile motorway trip and rip down bumpy B roads equally as well.
Going to keep my eyes peeled for a modded car.
I’ve been down this road previously myself ( not with a 996) and then ended up selling only to never retrieve the sum I’ve spent.
That said I at least had the enjoyment of choosing the spec .
As much as I like the CSR builds, for rhe kind of money they are asking for the top model I’d just go and buy a 996 GT3.

Totally agree with this logic.
To be fair, for 25k you can build one exactly how you want it.
You're then into 997S money, so you have to really want the modded 996.
Every winter a couple of decent 997s come to market with rebuilt engines for around 25-30k.
Lots of decent specialists out there who can help, without charging the turnkey RPM price. To be fair to RPM, their cars are beautifully finished and the team are super. However, if you're not bothered about trim and flawless paint etc then you can get things mechanically right for less money. Do you really need a carbon ducktail for over 2k, when the folded aerokit spoiler is so iconic?
Beauty of the 996 is the diversity of options and the relative affordability.
If that includes the donor car with IMS all good then that’s ok . I learnt an invaluable lesson previously to agree to an all in price and get it in writing. I got horribly striped up by an Essex based ‘specialist’. To be fair, for 25k you can build one exactly how you want it.

Agree RPM do some great stuff and I guess a jethro style 911 will be an ongoing project.
I’ll get reading the poverty pork thread all 268 pages of it :-) .
Heavily into bikes as well now so enjoying the custom/modded scene Tks all
