Currently it has a 997 Cup motor in it. I had a good look at the ex Peter Fitz's car a few months ago it needs a bit of work to get back to original as you probably knowI still would like to track down Keene's old car & buy it as i spent a lot of time working on it back in Nations Cup. In fact we had 2 MK1 GT3's in the team one was a spare & also used for tarmac rallies I believe they were the first 2 to be delivered to OZ Wish I bought that thing! Had no idea it had that donk in it!It was for sale for a very long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 23July, 2016 Report Share Posted 23July, 2016 No thats the TNT carIf your referring to the 'Falken' ex Peter Fitz car, sold out of WA, that's been sitting at Cascone - its previous owner was George Bradbury. The ad is still up on My 105; http://www.my105.com/ListingDetails/p/1/k/porsche gt3/id/15161It was resprayed silver and advertised on my 105 for ages, then painted to the 'Falken' colours. Strangely, it was listed on My 105 at the same time in both forms at 2 different prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP911 Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 Anyone know how many of the original 90 Aus delivered 996 MK1 GT3's were used in 1999/2000 Nations Cup series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevMcRev Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 It was for sale for a very long time...Yeah I kept looking at it and looking at it online thinking that being road register-able it would make a pretty wild car to put back on the road, not necessarily returned to stock, but as close to a road going race car you could make it. Maybe do some tarmac rallies in it... I think one that is a bit wild with race history would be a damn cool car, you could have some serious fun in it without being too precious about itBut as Hugh says below, it was kind of strangely advertised, I saw both cars but didn't realise they were the same, and no idea about the running gear in it.I guess that's online shopping for you...if you're serious get on the phone, find out the details, and make the call on it.If your referring to the 'Falken' ex Peter Fitz car, sold out of WA, that's been sitting at Cascone - its previous owner was George Bradbury.

hugh Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 @Skidmarks try Nick @ Cascone as he has a few clients with ex nations cup Mk1's. The falken car mentioned above was purchased by one of his clients and it came with a heap of spares including 2 boot lids. Maybe worth a shot.

MR901 Posted 26July, 2016 Report Share Posted 26July, 2016 I'm the current owner of the TNT ex Nations Cup car which I bought off Lex Lasry a few years ago. I've been told multiple times (although can't confirm) that it was the first GT3 imported into Australia in mid 1999 & it was immediately converted into a race car. It's only done 19,000 km's, never bent, fully road registered & has the original TNT livery (the car is silver under the wrap). I've been using an SC for tarmac rally's & will be taking the GT3 to Targa High Country at the end of the year.....it's just over 1300kg, 400+ HP so to be honest I'm a bit nervous !! Happy to report back if people are interested...Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR901 Posted 9November, 2016 Report Share Posted 9November, 2016 As a follow up to my post in July I ran the TNT ex Nations Cup car at Targa High Country last weekend. The car hasn't been used competitively for a number of years & going into the event I'd only driven it a couple of times so was justifiably nervous & respectful. This years Targa High Country had it all......day one was sunny, day two was raining & day three was snowing !! The car however was sensational & I'm convinced that the move from classic (in a 911SC) to early modern was the right one. My navigator & I loved the experience of the GT3 & the car seemed to enjoy being driven as intended. I was also delighted that numerous spectators approached me to take photo's & appreciated that the car maintains its original livery / specification as raced by Peter Bradbury almost 20 years ago. By the completion of the event we came 9th in our category & on the final stage did a personal best up Mount Buller in 10:44. By our humble standards the weekend was a great success......a big thanks to Shaun Cairns of WerksRRR for getting us on the road safely !!TNT will now be a regular sight in tarmac rally & spend as little time in the garage as possible.....Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
