993 C4 RS Replica - Page 2 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

Hi guys, Been looking for a 996 GT3 but I have always had soft spot for the 993. I have just seen the following come up for sale. Anyone know the car? What are you thoughts/opinions on it? Anyone else bought anything from Gmund cars? http://www.gmundcars.com/cars/942/993c4rslook.html

I'm surprised at the mileage however, it seems very low, I'd be checking that out first. Best of luck

I have been doing some digging, found an ad for this car when it was up forsale before, does explain th low mileage: http://www.classiccars.co.uk/porsche/911/advert/22... Cheers

Similar price i sold my GT3 for and i know which i'd prefer, the real thing. Looks nice though

Have you driven a C4? Do you like them. sunnym3 said: I have been doing some digging, found an ad for this car when it was up forsale before, does explain th low mileage: http://www.classiccars.co.uk/porsche/911/advert/22... Cheers 6k mark-up for a cup of coffee seems reasonable to me.

In the current market that C4 is a bargain. If it was at JZM im sure they'd be asking £45k. I'd get it bought quick!

That is lovely and well worth the money, especially with that mileage.

Its got the right engine....but why convert a C4?!...and its got a sunroof. Maybe that explains the cost.

If it were me, I'd fit the smaller RS spoiler pack I think.

Thanks guys for all your input. The car is lovely and I agree with all your comments. I just have to decide if I can warrant selling my Giallo Ginestra Integrale for it. I probably wouldn't hesitate if it were 996 Gt3. Will have to make a decision quick.

I had the chance around 6 years ago or so to buy a Giallo Integrale for £6700.00 The guy selling it just didnt have a clue and was in desperate straigthts financialy, but my wife point blankly told me that I had enough motors already, I'd even explained that values were about to rocket. I pointed one out to her and the price they now fetch only just the other day. She kept mute. It would be a fine line either way, Integrale Vs 993 to me.

HPI before doing anything. I am sure this car is on V-Car cannot be worth 35K can it? Edited by reedman on Thursday 27th March 07:48 Edited by reedman on Thursday 27th March 12:18

It is not a C4S.

Its got a 3.8 Engine in it, so I'd say that's a pretty sizeable part of an RS Conversion. I just don't get why they would go that far on a C4 platform. ...if it was a 4S then that would be even worse!

The engine was toast when the accident happened apparently, along with with the front tub and suspension.

Sunny, Did you go and see the 993? JR Edited by reedman on Monday 31st March 19:43

Interesting info. Thank god for forums eh. It annoys me that dealers don't mention that stuff in the advert. Bit shady really. I know they hope to get someone on the phone and reel them in a bit first (providing they are actually going to mention it at all), but still, they should just come clean in the advert. Anyone who wouldn't touch a damaged car won't be interested anyway and anyone who would, would pick up the phone if they wanted to know more. A great looking car mind, I wouldn't change anything on it.

Thanks guys for all the information and the pm I received, this is exactly why I started the thread. I've decided to stick with my Integrale and stop looking, well for now anyway ;-)

A great looking car mind, I wouldn't change anything on it. Totally Agree. I just assumed it was a C4S with a modified engine. They used to be a reputable dealer but if the details on this thread are true then thats pretty bad form from them.

Wait and buy a GT3 far better car and the real deal

That 993 rs rep was built at Tech 9 about 1996, was over at Essen over the weekend, Thomas Schmitz has a superb 996 GT3 mk 1 in viper green, very low km, its the only viper green MK1 GT3 in existence, LHD of course.
