It was on there late last year and didn't sell. Oddly Cult Automotive had it listed on their site for sale, but in the last CC advert the owner denied all knowledge of them selling it.

It was also on there in 2021 and did sell: https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2010-porsche-9...

It was owned by Rob__Fenn prior to this and I think he bought it from Ashgood. I spoke to them when it was there and I know it HAD some paintwork on a rear quarter but was led to believe it was just to tidy the car up, not accident damage. Might be worth speaking with them.

It also had issues with front lift and not sure if that was rectified (certainly no bills to show it was) and Rob mentioned on a post that the gearbox seemed a bit notchy/stiff but since that he said he thinks they all feel the same (mine is rifle bolt action but never have trouble engaging gears).

Not many clubsport 997.2's about, worth a punt. I'd be bidding if I didn't already own one. Though the fact its changed hands so much in 2 years and not been used a lot would force me to have an inspection done prior to auction end.

Just came to say Rob owned it... so basically now, just confirming Rob owned it 😅😂

Earlier ad on CC

The owner states that the front axle lift system can be temperamental, sometimes not lowering manually, and only lowering automatically once the car reaches the predetermined speed

Current Ad

The seller notes that the front axle lift system is in working order. The button will raise the nose of the car without fail, and when driving it will then lower itself.

It should raise and LOWER the car with the button. You shouldn't have to drive the car over the auto drop speed to lower it back down.

I’m sure this car has been on and off sale for years.

Tread carefully CC is the perfect place to get rid of a problem car.

Thanks, sounds like the front lift is an issue and I hear it can be an expensive fix.
