Hat tip to the owner of this car who has used it properly and then some!

Actually, I may watch this go through... I only opened it to see if the mileage was correct, but it looks like it’s had a lot of work done to it.

"had a full engine rebuild to Clubsport Specification by specialists Porsche Torque in 2016 to the tune of £28,000"

That's the thing with these cars: you either need to do next to no mileage, or go fro broke and drive it to the moon and back a few times (see also Simon George's Lambo). It looks fantastic.

Yes and in lots of ways this is a much more sensible buy than an 80k mile one.

Yeah, it actually made me want an early 996. I'd like a narrow bodied 3.4 with supercharger kit.

Link? I'm NOT going onto Boatshoes unless it's a direct link. The risk of reading the brain spew of some colossal bell end who thinks he's an authority on everything END OF, is too high.

Re the GT3 The engine rebuild on my lowly 3.6 Carrera was 12k, and that didn’t include “upgrades”

PPBB’s previous Aerna red 996 was bought by Jethro.



And that blue 996 was owned by the same owner who ran his 997 GT3 to almost 150k miles before selling it.

Thread about the 997:

Total911 mag was talking about a 996 that has 650000km on it!
