Hi guys, was just looking at this car & wondered what people's view were on it.
Value, spec, the parts used etc & generally if u think its a good car ? I know some may feel its a bit of Frankenstein car but is it all the good bits or not so much ? I personally quite like it but am I missing something ? & yes I have no longer got my cooper s track car & the nurburgring animal trip is fast approaching smile

On the face of it, a mish mash and a mess. GT3, really? It's been for sale for a long time.

The question is whether there is a good car underneath. I doubt it.

I will let others comment on the seller.

Yeah there are bits I don't like & the GT3 badge is not a good look. I've had the cooper s as a track / fast road car & dad had a really nice 968cs which was on varient 3's & also had a fortune spent on it like my S but we were thinking the same thing is there a good car under there ? The proof wud be in a good look around & how it drove. Is it a sorted car & engine ? Or ..... Well not ! Is the dealer... Shal we say questionable then ? I'm in Sussex & the cars in Yorkshire I honk ? So don't really fancy a trip to deal with an idiot tbh

A swift google search on the dealer ought to tell you all you need to know

why oh why? Who on earth would want to make a 1967 911 look like a 964?

I really can't work out the age, model or anything about this car based on what has been written in the ad. I like the idea of a backdated car, it wouldn't need to be 100% accurate, but I'm also conscious that the cost of backdating a car can be considerable and many cut corners so you need to be careful

This car and dealer were discussed here a couple of months ago, the consensus being not to touch it

After doing a google search of the seller I'm not very keen or impressed. I stupidly assumed a dealer with some of the stock they have they would be half reasonable, but a slightly unusual car sold by a company that clearly has a question mark over its reputation seems like a no go.

It was obviously done a while ago when people wanted to have the latest look.

I remember 2.4s being given this treatment or worse being made turbo bodied..

Is that not a spelling mistake on the number plate, surely it should be a 'C' not a 'K' jester
