Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 2005 Porsche 911 GT3 is a one-owner, low-mileage example with the desirable 'Mezger' engine. Despite a Cat D insurance write-off status, the car is presented in exceptional condition, though it requires recommissioning due to a long period of inactivity.

Condition

7

The car is described as being in exceptional condition inside and out, with only 3,339 miles indicated. The bodywork is untroubled by any dinks, dents, warps or creases worthy of attention and the Arctic Silver metallic paint is pretty much showroom fresh wherever you look, the paint does how ever feel a bit rough to the touch so something a good machine polish would improve greatly . Even entirely standard stone chips and light swirly scratches are far more notable for their absence than their presence. The wheels have clearly spent their lives living in blissful ignorance of kerbs or other roadside obstacles. The interior is also described as being every bit as good as its exterior counterpart. However, the car has been inactive for a long period and will necessitate some basic recommissioning.

The eagle-eyed sleuths among you will have noticed that there is a large, grey pachyderm in the room and it’s waving its trunk about in the hope of getting our attention.

The elephant in question is, of course, the car’s Cat D status.

According to the RAC, a Cat D insurance write-off occurs when a vehicle is deemed uneconomical to repair by insurers because repair costs exceed its market value, yet the damage is usually minor or cosmetic.

Now, we don’t know the circumstances behind the car’s Cat D status, but we believe the incident occurred in 2005, which is the year Professor Bovis bought the car new.

But we do know that there are a few things to bear in mind i...
