Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Stunning car, people are amazed I could buy one in my early 20’s but work hard and anything is possible. Mines guards red with the gt3 style alloys, low mileage, manual 2.7. People will have you believe you should buy a 3.2S but do your research, for normal driving and normal roads, you tend not to notice the difference too much! I’ve driven both, could’ve bought either, but the condition and the fact the drive difference was negligible made me go with the 2.7. Look after it and it’ll be the best car you ever buy! I could’ve bought a 987 for the same money I gave for this, but I find the 987 is more sanitised so not for me. I’ll keep this for a year or two, add some money to it and buy a 981.

How reliable do you find the car?

Just needed some coil packs, spark plugs, full service as expected
