Anyone know this 996 GT3 mk2
- Thread starter Jamesyg

Yep James bought a lovely old RS rep.
I messaged him about the GT3 to check I wasn't stepping on his toes as after my initial post on this thread, never thinking I could make it work for me, I juggled some things around and am now in a position for one I hope.
I had a few conversations with the Supercar rooms but they always seemed in a hurry. Vague finance figures they'd never send through via email etc.
I was still keen and offered them £52k after speaking to it's previous owner.
They declined though.
It sold for £49,500 in 2014. It's a straight car with over £25k spent between 2012-2014 but it has been properly thrashed on track and has a few hundred range 2 over revs. That barely equates to 1 second over the Rev limiter though so no biggie, but it will put the fusspots off.
I've decided to get a more standard one, as even to source the standard wheels and new tyres is £2500 plus.
It had also had plates welded to the floor for the front section of cage.
That put me off as I doubt it's to factory quality but I must stress I haven't seen it, so just guessing.
It looks a great car with all the remedial work most GT3s will be due by now, if you want one to carry on using it as it has been.
I'll continue my search for a nicer unmolested one though, as it will be primarily a road car with maybe the odd foray onto the track.

To expand on that, the rear cage bolts to the rear top mounts and welded floor plates at the base of the B pillar. There are also welded floor plates at the base of the A pillar. These plates have 3 captive bolts each that allow the feet of the cage to be bolted in. The front section comes in 2 peices, the LHS has the cross bar at the top of the windscreen; it joins up to the peice on the driver's side via a screw attachment which allows it to be adjusted to fit without creaking. The 2 front sections attach to the rear section of cage via 2 bolts per side.
It's all done in such a way as to make the entire cage removeable without leaving a trace apart from the carpet cutout marks.
The front section has to be removed to change the front windscreen.
