I also asked about this. Seems it had been for sale on & off for a few years prior, it had huge overrevs recorded so was obviously hard to sell to an experienced person who knew where & how to check the ECU

I never got an answer,  but my guess is either an inexperienced person bought it & crashed or it was a classic 'insurance job' purposely pranged for the pay off. (Wifey worked for a PI & it is a fairly common occurrence).

Considering this was a Porsche Doncaster car that sold in November last year, why would they sell an abused car?

991 GTS damaged by a Russian lady during a Porsche tour in Tassie a couple of months ago reportedly up at Pickles in Hobart very soon too. As a Porsche Aust owned car as I understand, I wonder if this will ever get onto the WOVR??  If not potentially higher value than this perhaps???

It will only get on to the WOVR if it is written off by the insurance company ....

This looks bloody brilliant. And being an RJP car.... Wow.... 

The car has been around for 2 years or so , not sure how u would get rego , it’s gotta be worth that in parts 

I have heard many talk about it , I thought we had discussed it ??

Do u know how much damage ? 

Cars of this caliber are hard to sell with that history ..add in the gossip and folklore that also follows and you had better be sure what your doing . The walls have ears in the Porsche world and the egos and imaginations add 100 fold to the complexity and perceptions .

Beyond repairing and looking at profiteering I feel these cars are generally great opportunities , just like imports .. if you want a driver and these cars are a fine bit of kit .

I think personally and it’s a philosophical reply I would be buying in the 75-100 range as a plaything and add my repairs .

Where would you be at ?? Any pics ?

Not sure what happened with my comments , second part of my post was merged related to the GTS ,

Aus Del carrera 3.o, Lots of good gear/time/money spent to get to this point, fresh 3.8lt.Makes other similar type cars on the market look bit sad in comparison. As people say couldn't build for that sort of money.

Good buying around that price for the right person/application.

 

Totally agree. Stunning looking car and spec and with RJP behind it I can only imagine. Would be total quality work

Agree.... See the WA plates. And I'm from WA.... Damn if only I had the garage space. 

WA = Wild Australia , what goes down in rego there rarely translates to Vic and NSW nanny states .. still a proper bit of kit though

i can't see anything on there that is unregisterable in qld or nsw honestly, would just require some paperwork.

a sympathetic roadworthy and you're there.
