The Appeal
Porsche specialises in making less mean better. The 996 GT3 was lighter and stiffer than its standard siblings, with better brakes too.
The Mk2/Gen 2 GT3 has the makings of a nailed-on, blue-chip classic. It was a significant improvement on the original 996 GT3, delivering more power and more engagement. This Seal Grey 2005 car was one of the last off the line and has been very carefully curated by its handful of keepers. The mileage is just 60,000 miles from new.
The extensive maintenance records show a run of servicing by main dealers and specialists, most recently £4,700 of work by RPM Technik. £8,000 has been invested since 2023 including LSD rebuild and a new clutch. The discs and pads were replaced at 55,000 miles.
This is a really special GT3 and comes to market with advisory-free MOT to June 2026.
The vendor says:
“One of the very last 996GT3 and in a very rare colour scheme. Consistent paint depths throughout the car. My own car is in beautiful condition and clearly a very well-maintained and loved example.”
