mjh 26 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Hi, I know someone who is looking at a 997.1 GT3 RS in black with Orange livery. Apparently it has had one owner since new, done 30km and has been based in Queenstown most of it's life. Also it was originally sold through Giltrap's. Any information regarding the history of the car would be much appreciated. Cheers Edited October 20, 2012 by mjh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3_Power 636 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 Fairly sure that one has had more than one owner. I remember looking at that car when it was in the showroom, then the guy that bought it (I believe he owns a company similar to yours Matt up here in Auckland), then it got traded to CCS in Newmarket with about 13K km and that's when it went down to the South - I know the friend of the person that owned it in Queenstown. So at least 3 owners I think? (including one dealer) Nice car regardless : ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me email the friend and find out about it - not sure if I'll get a reply before Monday however. it sounds like the one that used to be in auckland ages ago with the plate DKNIGHT (i realise its 7 letters but it was something like that.. DKNGHT? i dont remember) DKNGHT is stock GT3. The owner now owns a Lambo Aventador I think. Edited October 21, 2012 by M3_Power Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjh 26 Report post Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) DKNGHT is stock GT3. The owner now owns a Lambo Aventador I think. Not quite stock! It has had about 80K spent on it making it go a bit faster. The titanium exhaust alone was apparently 18K...... Edited October 21, 2012 by mjh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted October 21, 2012 It's not the one owned by the young Asian guy who spent thousands through Evans having his spray can paint job fixed up was it? Overspray EVERYWHERE. That was black and orange. But might have been a Turbo not a GT3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjh 26 Report post Posted October 25, 2012 You guys talking about this car by any chance? Hi, Thanks for the info. The car is the same as this one, but is not this exact car. I've now got plenty of info on it. For those that are interested there were 4 black with orange livery RS's brought in, 2 orange and black livery ones and one silver one. No green.

Cheers Sweet no probs, I thought you were talking about this one as it was from Giltrap too with 30ks and also has a lifting module which still scrapes on the driveway :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice car.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
