DJM Posted 15July, 2015 Report Share Posted 15July, 2015 I've seen the lex lasry cup car in the link above at cairns in Hallam. Clean car. Lex is a Supreme Court judge, likely to be an honest seller! He is a "gentleman racer" and I suspect the car will have been maintained regardless of cost. I believe recently it's been run in club events rather than crash and bash racing. Don't know it's history but Sean Cairns could tell you. Seems crazy to consider a road reg race car at $95k when not long ago you could buy a clean unraced road car for the same money. That's the market though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of comments suggesting artificial price inflation etc etc but come to think of it the same thing has been happening here with most of the cars advertised in the 120-130 bracket being dealer cars. They all sold at the end of the day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue964 Posted 16July, 2015 Report Share Posted 16July, 2015 If the one your thinking of belongs to a member on here its not available any more due to a change of heart. Sorry about that Hugh:( Good luck on your quest. The 996GT3 market seems to have shifted the other way in the past few months. When I was watching the market 6 months ago there were quite a few around and these days they all seem to have disappeared from the market--maybe the owners have changed their mind;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can imagine I've been giving this particular topic a lot of thought and to be honest I've had a few ideas in mind....................Its interesting to see the direction the thread has taken in regards to modifying and looking at broader alternatives. I must say its something that I wasn't expecting (generally) but I'm glad there is some support out there. Lets just hope that Magnus doesn't start talking about GT3's - "streetable track car" could have a whole new meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT3 can't be too far away! ?MW currently has a 964C2 project underway so maybe that is why there's a lack of 964s out there these days:) He has also turned his attention to 944s but it would appear that MW's star power isn't enough to cause a mad rush on 944s...I wonder why:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 5August, 2015 Report Share Posted 5August, 2015 See what's for sale thread - it's suspected the GT3 was crashed and well repaired, get the facts and negotiate accordingly. Perfect for a Hugh project at the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as you have been made aware of the fact and what it involved that's all. Its obviously priced 'sharp' - just make sure you know what your getting into. mate just bought the lasry car…it'll keep on tarmac rallying. he did the maths it'd be a costly exercise to make it even close to a street eater.

"Light rollover" repaired I believe? Certainly looks clean and straight. Bonus new paint job too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiller Posted 7August, 2015 Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 An arctic silver touring with leather buckets and tequipment roll bar sold a few weeks ago here in Adelaide for circa 100K. Very clean car with about 35K kms. Owner paid north of 115K about 3 years ago and was selling as he is moving to Asia for work. I think he was just keen to move it on, someone got a good deal.
