GusTV Posted 9June, 2022 Report Share Posted 9June, 2022 5 hours ago, edgy said: That is absolutely delicious spec! Possibly the best colour for 6.1 IMO... I do remember about 10 years ago one of those sitting forever on carsales, no one wanted it cos of the colour, it like $85k or thereabout... how the tables have turned! Congratulations & commiserations! But yes, when real sellers and buyers align, it often happens off market.. I seriously considered it back then and then bought a BMW 1M instead. Oops.

I've looked for the image but think it was sent to my old phone not my email. When I get a chance I will see if I can find it, give me some time. From memory one of the options that stood out was the wheels. They were not standard 10 spoke gt3 but were different looking style, factory supplied. I cant remember the finer details, I was awhile ago. Harry @pcm confirmed the options when I called him earlier while driving with a visitor from the factory sitting next to him in the car. I seem to remember it wasn't straight forward to decode the options list, so German visitor was handy to have on hand in the car. Was an intersting call. I gave him (seller) Harry's contact detail at pcm to find out for himself what he had. I know the car you are thinking of, and this car...and this car is not the car you're thinking of.

wilson59 Posted 15June, 2022 Report Share Posted 15June, 2022 I like South African pricing . By my calculations this would be approx $130000 AUD landed ? Things will change on pricing when 25 year rule kicks in on these Porsche 911 GT3 (996) for sale in Sandton - ID: 26446408 - AutoTrader DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoHeadsTas Posted 16June, 2022 Report Share Posted 16June, 2022 1 minute ago, JLD said: taxi yellow?🚕🚖🤣 What surprises me is how many cars I've seen have the centre console optioned. As I understand, the console delete was standard, but car could be optioned with it at no cost. I'd have thought console delete was more in character with the car, even for comfort spec (my car is a comfort with console delete)??

on_booost Posted 18June, 2022 Report Share Posted 18June, 2022 Totally Off topic - kinda..... I am in the process of clearing out some of my (400+ don't ask) model collection. No Burago - all Minichamps/AutoArt/UT/Exoto/Dealer issues. I came across these 2 this morning - never been out of the box. Super Rare. None available on ebay in AU = only from Japan @ $700+ each Perfect for the GT3RS owner...... PM me if you're that guy! Before they go on the Bay! @LeeM Delete if in the wrong spot?

TwoHeadsTas Posted 19June, 2022 Report Share Posted 19June, 2022 Well my silver car has now been delivered to the new owner, and should be arriving in Sydney this afternoon. I hope he has as much enjoyment from it as I did. Another off market deal done, a little complication at the end which we worked through and sorted out in a commonsense way 🙂 Sounds like the car will get a bit of track time as it should 🙂 Asyd, tomo, James P and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta cut Pete some slack, only because he has the dirt on me 😜… but to his credit, he said ‘comfort’ not “touring”… I can only deduct one point for the lack of “K” in Komfort next person to say touring; “no soup for you” PS - honourable mention to Lorbeks for the Comfort designation micknine01 and TwoHeadsTas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
