I'm not expert enough to know if the specs are exactly clubsport, but the major things are there, the buckets being leather could simply be preference, maybe because of the amount of road use :dont know:
Which is of course incorrect. It has a tequipment cage and not a Clubsport one (the differences are significant, particularly given that the 996 CS cage has a front section), has leather buckets instead of nomex, lacks the fire extinguisher and the preparation to be able to fit the battery isolator kit. Too many people list these as "Clubsport spec" when actually they are actually comforts that just have the bolt in roll bar fitted.
Doesn't mean that it isn't a good buy of course, just that it isn't a Clubsport.

Agree with all the above but just one point of detail. Clubsports did not come exclusively with Nomex seats. Some first time owners decided to pay extra to have their cars specced with leather buckets - I guess leather would be considered as a more premium finish at the time. There are a handful of leather bucketed CS cars around. The original bill of sale will show the additional leather spec.

Agree with all the above but just one point of detail .... :mrgreen: Only the Mk1 996 GT3 Clubsport came without airbags in the doors (and possibly the Mk2 RS ?) the plain Jane Mk2 had all the stuff that weighs cars down, Cupholders, door airbags, overweight owners etc etc :grin:
:yeah: :agree:Ghost said:Anoraking to one side, if you know who owns and fettles this car, you should have no doubts about it mechanically whatsoever.

My MK2 CS doesn't have the side airbags.
