Gunther Works - Silverstone

[Pip1968]

Well after missing out on getting a track day at Silverstone on Monday I thought I would pop up and have a look at the day anyway. To be fair the day did not seem busy at all. A hand full of Porsche along with some Ferrari, Astons and Caterhams, Minis et cetera.

Highlight for me was a lovely original Aston Martin DB5 keeping up with a Ferrari (I think) and this:

A Gunther Works Porsche based on a 993 and absolutely beautiful inside with CF bucket seats and caramel leather (I would have to opt for the fire retrdant vesion although these looked beautiful. Lots of CF inserts inside and I believe the body panels were also CF. Matt from Fearnsport was in attendance and popped out in a RS 4.0 at some point (it may have been the Gunther owner on track).

Anyway both this and the DB5 out doing hard laps was very impressive.

The GW & RS 4.0 are owned by the same chap.

I saw this car up close last month. The fit and finish looked super, and while I thought 'meh' when I first saw pictures of it, in the flesh it looks so much better. A lot of presence, great proportions (which you just don't get from looking at pictures). Not really my style personally though, I'd have something else (Singer DLS springs to mind, and that new gold Tuthill looks nice too. Looking forward to seeing some reviews of that, 850kg and revs to 11k, sounds fun)

I took some pics of the GW cars a while back. Regardless of what ones thinks of these things, the workmanship/materials do look great up close.

Lovely thing. Beautifully executed. Pics aren't bad either..

Just can't quite see the million dollar price tag in there.
