Wow, again.

Got to be the most overpriced 911 currently advertised. The seller quite clearly knows very little about what an actual GT3 is.

All of the bling and none of the engineering. Worth the same as a 4S minus £5k for being butchered.

Had a look round this at the 2011 Oulton Park RS day. It has been pretty well executed, but I guess the whole is worth less than the sum of its parts - as above, C4S minus 5 grand perhaps?

Begs the question why. If so much was spent on the car why not just buy a proper car. Also no self respecting RS has a rear windscreen wiper. PCM 2 rather than PCM 3 in a gen2 look-a-likey. Dogs dinner anyone. Wonder what state the donor car was in before having a shed load of money thrown at it.

Gen-2 look-a-likey with Gen-1 rear lights.....

Only reason I can think why is if car was cat d and the owner became a bit adventurous come repair time. Otherwise just bonkers. (well bonkers either way really!!!)

Agreed. Seems like most recent 'reincarnations' are following accident damage. I mean its Gen 1 RS money ... absolute madness.

...and Gen 1 front lights too.

It's unusual for it to be VAT qualifying too (meaning both its owners have been dealers/hire companies/leasing companies, you can probably discount taxi firms and funeral directors), but that makes it more attractive for export outside the EU as £69,995 is "only" £58,329 before VAT.

..Why do they do it... if you want an RS, just buy 1, £20K wasted IMO ..
