It’s probably the least good one of the lot, but I think the 996.1 gt3 is probably my favourite looking one.

Minor note - the Turbo effectively launched the facelift, it never came with the pre-facelift front end.

I'm blatantly biased, but I agree :-D

Indeed, but it came out two years before the 996.2 and didn’t have a glovebox…

The glovebox isn't what people think of first when you say facelift 🤣

It isn’t - but it’s evidence that the Turbo is a 996.1 and it so happened the non-Turbos were given the Turbo’s lights at the facelift 😄
