I was the first in line on the Arctic Silver 996.2 GT3 that was at PCW recently and ended up backing out on the deal......and no I didn't back out because of a lack of approval from "she who should be obeyed"......it needed a little too much paint and panel for me. I am fussy.....it needed front and rear bars resprayed for light parking scrapes, it had a stone chip in one guard that had also left a dent, a decent door ding in one door and a couple of the wheel were curbed. Also had a really ugly harness bar fitted......I feel better letting it go now, knowing it didn't have a clear over-rev report. Wish me luck in my PPI ! 🙂 GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the one that was stored at one of the Independent Porsche specialist workshops in Melb Hugh? I thought that was sold only a 30 or 4 months ago?

Jason A Posted 6July, 2020 Report Share Posted 6July, 2020 @hugh I noted in the ad they say 1 of 42 Clubsport imported for MK1. Does anyone know how they validate this number. It seems more feasible (based on 10 + years of watching the market) than the 80% Clubsport I had seen bandied around. Do they have some actual import numbers. Input from the brains trust is welcomed.

Jason A Posted 7July, 2020 Report Share Posted 7July, 2020 Yes I have seen those numbers but I have seen way more comfort spec cars sold. I have also spoken to guys who bought them new and were offered a cage and seats in a comfort car as the dealerships could not meet demand. I am 90% sure the published numbers are wrong. I was interested to know where the dealer got the data. Global production- CS option was only 20% - 30% based on research. Most people probably don’t really care, but I am really interested to know the facts - if possible 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people probably don’t really care, but I am really interested to know the facts - if possible 👀 Don't disagree on sales in the last 10 years on CS Vs Touring. My only comment is don't forget ~ 20 996.1 CS would have been "consumed" in the original Nations cup series. p.s. CS was a no cost (trim) option, so any new GT3 buyer would have felt ripped off without seats and cage in a Touring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted 7July, 2020 Report Share Posted 7July, 2020 I think that’s where the confusion may lie, factory comfort cars with cage and seats fitted by dealers for a small premium. I know a couple of guys who bought new this way. i should call the sales guy and see where the 40 number came from. A lot of the MK1 cars I have seen advertised have air bags in the door trims. CS from factory has no airbags in doors for MK1 - it’s the giveaway. In addition to the 003 option code, if the bonnet sticker and books are available. One day we will get to the bottom of the whole story - 😆 Hughs ex car is a factory CS, no doubt. But the last black car sold by Duttons I say was not a factory CS hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
