Right, this will kill me but I really need to be sensible and let the GT3 go. Many people know about this car and I've owned it for 3.5 years and bought from another enthusiast - Ade - who had it for 3 yrs before me.

Full spec below

It's a 2000 MY Porsche 911 GT3. It was actualy a comfort model with the leather buckets fitted as new. The original colour is Polar Silver, which was then wrapped Matt Black when I bought it and last year I had it resprayed Carrara White (same as 996 GT3 RS). The paintwork was done by Langley Autocraft, who do all of JZM's work.


Here's a list of mods - these were carried out by the previous owner. It's a very track focused set-up and has very little oversteer and no understeer - an amazing drive :)

Manthey K400 conversion (new manifolds, race cats, back boxes, ECU remap) - gives 400bhp, up from 360 standard.
• Manthey carbonfibre ram air scoop
• Manthey carbonfibre induction
• Porsche 996 GT3 MkII engine lid
• Manthey carbonfibre RS rear wing
• GT3 Cup filter
• Manthey KW3 suspension
• Manthey Monoball strut top mounts
• Six-piston MkII GT3RS brake calipers
• 360mm anti-rattle floating solid Alcon brake discs
• Pagid RS29 brake pads
• GT3 Cup front brake ducts
• GT3 Cup brake cooling conversion
• Plasma-nitrided Motorsport differential
• Porsche Motorsport lightweight single-mass flywheel
• Manthey billet short-shift kit
• GT3 Cup front bumper
• GT3 Cup canted radiator cooling
• Porsche Motorsport Cup steering wheel
• Porsche full Clubsport rollcage with removable front section
• Schroth Profi II 6-point twist race harnesses
• Cargraphic Race wheels (front 8.5 x 18, rear 11 x 18)
In addition, I have added a GT3RS carbon fibre bonnet and is currently running Michelin Pilot Sport Cups (2 new rears) and very good fronts.

The mods above cost over £40k..... Whilst I realise these don't make the car any more valuable in terms of sale price, they will of course save someone a small fortune that it looking for a more focused GT3 than standard.

I've just had it serviced, which included brand new Alcon discs, bells and RS29s on the front, new air con rads, new coolant rad, a few new track rod ends, brake cooling duct and full set up and corner weight to Nordschleife spec - total bill of £5k - however this is the first time I've had any major spend in over 3 yrs of ownership - which isn't too bad for this type of car.

It is circa 78k miles but it is well looked after and has a clean bill of health from JZM.
Looking for £30k. No offers at this price and price reflects the mileage not the condition, which can only be described as very good. This is a car for driving and enjoying not for polishing and storing as an investment.

It has had prior accident damage (before I owned it) but was not registered and was repaired properly with no expense spared - JZM (the leading independant Porsche specialist and look after more GT3s than anyone else) managed this process - so it was done properly - I will discuss further with anyone interested.

Give me a shout if you are interested. This is an ideal replacement for a CSL - more focused and less practical if that floats your boat - certainly did mine :)

Cheers

Great advertisement, so upfront & honest.

GLWS, and yes a great alternative (in fact better ;)) to the CSL for track duties.

It is cheap but I believe it reflects the relatively high mileage for a GT3 and the fact that it has "history" of accident damage. Even though it has been repaired perfectly and the condition doesn't make it look like its done so many miles, these 2 factors do affect the price.

Of course I'll happily sell for more 😃

It's not the one for me as I've got my heart set on a orange 997.

Seems like a load of car for the money tho, best of luck with the sale Terry I'm sure it will sell very quickly..! Pistonheads must be the best place to market your car?
