Can't say I like this as much as the 996.1 version with the Fuchs and Pasha interior, although this has had engine work.

I’d say the more retro complete 996.1 looks better but that’s personal opinion. Not mad keen on the stripes, or the price!

Have I missed something?
Apart from a few bolt on bits and half an engine job, what would make this £37k?

You are right of course Mark - it is an RPM Technik "invention": https://rpmtechnik.co.uk/csr-builds/996-csr/

its modified, hence now totally worthless
but honestly, come on, it's got a few bolt on parts some stripes and a polish.
23-26K tops imo or has the world gone mad ???  _________________ better to spend a lot and lose a little than spend a little and lose it all!

I want to like it... but I just don’t.
I think I would like it more with a GT3 wing...
Can’t see its worth as much as a 997.2....

I like it. Although I like the 996.1 versions more. Then again they're clearly not for everyone, but it would be boring if we were all the same. or all our cars were standard OEM spec!
I think with the prices of higher mileage 996's where they are at the moment it opens up the option of doing some modifications to make them more focussed without destroying anything that will have any intrinsic value as an investment vehicle. _________________ Macan Turbo

This is a cheap one. The last one they had for as pre-owned was listed at £42k.

No - that would only happen if they manufactured the car from new like RUF. _________________ 2001 Zanzibar Red 996.1 C4

My thoughts exactly. I tend to tinker with my cars a bit, quite often to a greater extent than on that one. Wrap all the mods up under a single a title and perhaps I can make a 996 MC.

I think it’s worth the money if it’s what you want, because presumably that’s about what it would cost to buy and build, plus it’s got some provenance and back up. But it does seem to be largely cosmetic with only the ducktail being really distinctive. Mechanically it’s nice, but unless you’re going to play with the suspension every weekend is it really so different from a M030 car with a fresh LSD? So my question is how many people would actually want it?
Agree with others that the CSR is best on a 996.1 with more coordinated retro styling and mechanical upgrades. Somehow that seems a more complete package rather than a car plus bits.

I agree, the mk1s look better. The purple one above looks great.
They'll appeal to someone who wants a mint, kitted and fettled 996 but doesn't want the hassle of doing all the work.
Small market though as most of us like to tinker so could create our own if we wanted.
Nice looking things though.
