I couldn't agree more Frank. I was lucky to acquire one last year in RHD. I think they numbers are super low, just curious what the most accurate figure would be. At the moment it's still quite vague from the bit of information I was able to obtain. I know that USA never even got the MK1 GT3 in totality, let alone in CS form.
Pistonheads:
"Probably old news on here, but new to me..
Just found this site ( http://www.titanic.co.uk/GT3/GT32e.htm ) which gives an accurate (?) number of the MK1 996 gt3 UK cars, colour, Comfort or CS etc.
106 cars. Only 28 MK1 ClubSports! As far as cars+investments go - that's got to be tipped as a good gamble surely??"
Rennlist:
"Most of this comes from the GT3 buying guide in GT Porsche Feb 2007
1858 Mk1 built total
Of those 308 in right hand drive of which 106 went to the UK and the rest to South Africa and Japan primarily - I have a figure of 52 in my head for SA, but I can't remember where that comes from.
28 of the UK (RHD) were CS versions (GTPorsche), 7 of the SA one's were CS (1 Zambezi Red, 2 Red, 2 Yellow, 1 White, 1 Basalt) - of these 3 have been scrapped already (1 Zambezi Red, 1 Red and 1 Black as I understand)
I would guess the statistics are roughly similar CS - regular for the LHD versions.
49 CS in Right hand drive in total is the number I have, but again - source is dodgy."
