911 Porsche World

FLEET OF 18 GT3S FOR SALE

The ultimate barn find?

-

Here's a happy tale for anyone who has recently struggled to acquire an allocation for one of Porsche's low-volume specials based on the 911 sports car. How about a set of 18 identical delivery-miles Type-991 911 GT3S, all in white and with Clubsport spec including carbon-fibre buckets and user-friendly steel brakes?

That's precisely what's popped up in the car classified­s of Dutch website Marktplaat­s. The GT3S are being offered by Oldenhof Cars in Enschede in the Netherland­s. Built in 2015 for the European market in left-hand drive, the cars were originally ordered for a one-make race series in an unspecifie­d location. As Clubsport cars, you get a rear cage, six point harnesses and a fire extinguish­er thrown in.

The identity of the actual owner of the cars has not been revealed by Oldenhof, though it is said that the batch of GT3S actually comprised three further units which are being retained. Some amateur sleuthing on the internet suggests the cars may have been acquired in 2015 for the Istanbul Park track in Turkey. Plans were apparently afoot to run a one-make arrive-and-drive series in co-operation with Porsche and alongside the Porsche Driving Experience facility at Istanbul Park. If so, it's not clear what exactly scuppered the plans.

Whatever the original intention, the cars are currently for sale at €134,500 a pop or around £120,000. However, if you're willing to take the entire batch of 18, the unit price drops to €121,500. Serious enquires to pietoldenh­of@gmail.com or +31 (0)653182374.
