Points to note:

Roof has lacquer peel in places. Could ideally do with being sorted. Few stone chips on the front end but expected for a car like this.

Cat C in 2017. Have pictures if needed. This was down to value NOT structural. The damage was the front bumper, plastics behind, all the rads, windscreen, dash and the front airbags. All repaired with new parts from CSF and BMW.

Two keys.

Summary:

Essentially this is a very extensive build over the 8 years I’ve owned the car. Whatever the car has needed its had and more. If I’ve ever heard of an issue or a potential for a breakage to come up I’ve dealt with it prior so that the car can be as reliable as possible. The car has set a 7.31 BTG with an optimal of 7.24. This was prior to the diff being fitted and has been set by me without massive amounts of laps at the ring. I’d fully expect to be able to set a sub (just) 7.20 in this car now with optimal conditions. If you want to go Porsche GT3 speeds without the cost here's your chance. The car is manageable on long trips with it retaining enough of the interior, the air con and most importantly the full logic 7 sound system (really nice for this car).

Price wise I’m aiming for £32K ONO but I feel that this is a good price when you consider how much more has been done to this car over your normal ‘clubsport’ which would be up for the 26/27K mark. The total cost of this build has been over 50K for me and it’ll be sad to see it go but after 8 years I feel I want to move on and put the money towards a cayman GT4 which I will share with my dad.

The car is cat C. I did this myself on a drive in Wales back in 2017. The damage was the front bumper, all the rads, the dashboard airbag, windscreen and steering airbag plus the plastics at the front. I have pictures of all this and again anything it needed I either did or went over the top (CSF coolers installed at this point at a cost of 3K).

Anyone who knows the car will be able to vouch for how incredibly quick this is. On a normal UK track day the only cars that will be quicker are race cars on slicks such as GT4 category, time attack etc. The car has had excessive maintenance throughout the time I've owned it.
