An "Anyone Know This Car" Thread: 7.2 GT3 RS

[Skittles001]

Afternoon all,

The search is continuing for the GT3 RS and this one from OPC Bristol seems pretty nice (no axle lift but hey ho).

Reg is KT10UBS, just wondering if anyone has:

(a) any views on the car (it has the side decals deleted but apparently easily resolved)

(b) come across this actual car before?

Thanks in advance

[Robb F]

Wibble.

Looks better without the decals tbh

[Robbo66]

Far better without decals...looks good. Strong money though.

best colour for the gen2 IMO. Lift wouldn't bother *me*, but I'd want PCCB's for £100k.

Phooey I get where you are coming from: my current 7.1 GT3 has PCCBs and I think they are fantastic - I think you've had a similarly positive experience with PCCBs too. For some reason PCCBs on Gen 2 RSs seem rarer than on Gen 1 (perhaps as the steels were updated slightly on Gen 2s). I'm not having the easiest time finding PCCBs - there was a car at OPC Leeds last week for £4k more which had them but that was sold within an hour of the ad going up!

Thanks for the views gents - the decals really are marmite... the car has the "GT3RS" decals on the wings (which I would get removed). I thought the strip/checker on the side between the wheels (which is missing on this car) actually looked OK so might get these reinstated.

Hey Phooey, just wondering why you got rid of the GTS, need a daily driver and was considering a 2 manual...

Thanks Phooey. Yep been looking at this one and spoken to Elm. It has great spec and looks lovely although in my opinion is strong money as the equivalent OPC price has a 2 year warranty and service (due within 3 months )included in the price, so the like for like price is £3.5k higher compared to the others.

The gt3 at Bristol originally had black wheels

with less than half the miles and about £10k worth of spec difference?

£3.5k on top of an already £3k higher asking price! No doubt whatsoever that the Elm car is better, just that £6.5k is a lot of money and some will also place a bit of value buying a car like this from an OPC. Half the miles sounds like a big difference but the "higher mileage" car has 5,000 miles in 2 years!! Still it will come down to the net price as I will also pex my current '3.

I don't know if Mr Skittles got himself sorted but noticed that the Elms car has been reduced by another 3 grand.

Like the grey colour but i would want the decals, look to plain with out. Plus as has been said for that money would want ceramics.

[Trev450]

It has ceramics.
