Only UK car on sale is up for 225 per cent of its list price
Dick Lovett's Swindon Porsche Centre showroom has advertised the UK's first used 911 GT3 RS for a staggering £295,000. The 141-mile old GT Silver car is the only one currently on sale in Britain, and as such, is advertised at 225 per cent of its original list price.
That's an increase of £163,704, which, even for a car Henry Catchpole says is 'very much worthy of its RS sticker', is steep. But Paul Smith, Dick Lovett Swindon's business manager, reckons the car's price is justified.
'This is the only 911 GT3 RS currently on sale in a UK showroom, so the price is such because there are no other 911 GT3 RSs available,' Smith explains. 'Though we have no hard evidence, it is rumoured that even RS build slots are selling for £100,000 over list price, but unlike them, this is a car you can actually drive away today.'
