Given the very limited RHD numbers and how many people seem to be on the hunt for one at the moment, I agree the UK import issue may not be the such a barrier for these. Its not like the Brits don't like buying collectibles back when they come up for sale Pretty quick, bought sight unseen, or perhaps by someone who was looking last time???

TwoHeadsTas Posted 6February, 2021 Report Share Posted 6February, 2021 Interesting article from July 2007 911 & Porsche World re 996 GT3 values (and Oz muscle car values).

spiller Posted 8February, 2021 Report Share Posted 8February, 2021 congrats on the purchase @GUT. So, who’s got that table showing 996 GT3 sales in Aus? It’s well documented that there were only 308 RHD 6.1s globally. Do we have a figure for RHD 6.2? GUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 10February, 2021 Report Share Posted 10February, 2021 Thanks @SFZOOM I wonder how accurate this is? Reason I ask is that based on this, I have one of the 4 GT3 RS built in 2003... I did not know they built so few in 03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZOOM Posted 10February, 2021 Report Share Posted 10February, 2021 Here is what else I found on the internet:- 996.1 GT3 - 1868 total, of which 106 UK C16 (only 28 of which were specced as Clubsports) out of a global total of 308 RHD and of course 0 US C02.996.2 GT3 - 2313 total with 239 UK C16 and 1017 US C02996.2 GT3 RS - 682 total, 140 RHD (of which 113 were UK, 17 Aus, 4 NZ and the rest presumably HK, Sng, Jpn) and 0 for the Americans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZOOM Posted 10February, 2021 Report Share Posted 10February, 2021 Should have posted ages ago, but here is the Artic Silver 2004 996.2 GT3 Touring that I purchased back in late November 2020 once the Victorian lock down ended. Now back in Sydney, was originally delivered by SVM and has only done a light 30,500 kms. It is in such nice condition that I have to get over my anxiety to use it! Installing the PR Technology nose lift kit so I can get it easily up and down my driveway...no small investment put should improve the useability of the car! bear924, reedminor, GTP911 and 9 others 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was indeed 4 GT3 RS built in November 2003 2 x White & Red 2 x White & Blue all four were RHD C16 (UK) deliveries... I was curious about my own car, from the data (invoice date & VIN) what I can ascertain, it was the 3rd 996 GT3 RS ever built. luzzo, hugh and spiller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Posted 10February, 2021 Report Share Posted 10February, 2021 I believe a number of sources regard the oft quoted M003 numbers for the 1999/2000 cars to be optimistic I’ve asked a couple of contacts for the real number ... but the true figure seems to be elusive !

spiller Posted 10February, 2021 Report Share Posted 10February, 2021 @edgy that’s bloody fantastic mate. Does that mean it’s got the polished heads since it’s one of the first 200 as quoted by AP in the top gear video? @SFZOOMlooks a beauty.

I’m sure Japan, Singapore, South Africa got a few too. Maybe 350 RHD 6.2 (non RS) worldwide? 47% of Aus 6.2 were Clubsport, ive heard only 50 clubsports in the UK however.

Most certainly does, but we knew that from the outset as we actually put it on a DYNO as part of the PPI, it was showing an extra 20hp at the wheels over what the average base GT3 would put down. spiller, hugh and TwoHeadsTas 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my heart set on a 996 MK1/MK2 Clubsport but after 4 years of looking and being unable to find a good one, when I decided to buy a Touring it had to have the buckets! My car seems to have most of the options that Tourings seemed to have been ordered with......just wish it had cruise control. Options are::- C23 Australia XSX Red Seat Belts 288 Headlight Washers 424 CD Shelf Center Console 441 Radio Preparation 567 Green Tinted Windscreen W. Green Top-Tint 571 Active Carbon Filter (Cabin) 573 Automatic Air Conditioning 581 Front Centre Console 601 Litronic Headlights 697 Porsche CDR 23 CD Radio WW 09991 Manufacture from the exclusive-programme GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might help you sleep better at night to know you don’t actually have a touring, because there is no such thing... that didn’t come until type 991.2! You either have a 996 GT3 with 003 or without. By default, all C23 delivered 996 GT3’s had the fix back Recaro’s in leather (unless you added m-code 003 which gave you the same seat in Perlon fabric) you actually had to “option” the KOMFORT seats (recliners; either manual or powered, aka ‘sports seats’), this GT3 standard equipment only changed come the type 997, which came with a manual reclining spots seat by default, and powered seats as an option, and CGT type buckets in the Clubsport (003) package.... GT2’s could option a folding bucket to confuse matters. Long & Short they (Porsche) worked out how to extract more $$$ for the previously “no cost” options!
