Thank you, and thanks for all the help/advice, I'm looking forward to being on the forum more and will get along to as many meets/events as I can. Are there any particular ones next year that are good to go to?

Mike

Thanks! It's is stunning, totally original and in impeccable condition, the last two owners were best mates who combined have owned it for the last 14 years. As you alluded too, 911V rightly have an excellent reputation and I feel very confident and happy with the purchase.

Congratulations on the car.

When I began looking for my (997) GT3, I was advised by someone who I trust implicitly that 911V were one of the names to be trusted and that he'd known a number of people who'd agreed purchases over the 'phone, sight unseen from them.

Since the name and shame threads often get taken offline eventually, the only thing 'we' can do is sing the praises of the good guys. I did not buy from 911V, as it happens, but rather from JZM, who I would also be extremely happy to recommend.

Indeed I did! Was still pinching myself when got home and parked it on the drive!
First impressions:

Firstly I picked a pretty perfect day for it, a stunning, sunny, autumn afternoon. What can I say about the GT3... it's an assault on the senses, from the rattly Mezger at tick over, to the epic noise as you go past 7k, it's like nothing else. The feedback through the steering wheel is sensational and you can just feel that given some time to get used to it and the right road it will be amazing. Everything about the car is so analogue, the steering is light but direct, the clutch is quite heavy and the gear change is firm but positive, the diff grumbles in load speed turns and it does feel like an 18 year old car in some respects, however I bloody love it!
