Merit Partners is pleased to present this extremely rare Mk1 996 GT3. We are listing this car from an excellent client of ours and make no mistake as this is the nicest Mk1 GT3 we have seen in years and by far the best one on the market. The exceptionally low miles for this car, no paintwork and impeccable condition of this all stock build make this particular car the best of this series. For those not familiar with the 996 Mk1 GT3, it is a significant car as it was the first GT3 Porsche produced and marked the first of the new water-cooled GT cars in Porsche’s lineup. There were in fact two versions of the 996 GT3, the Mk1 and Mk2, with the Mk1 being an especially significant car as it was the first GT3 and produced in much smaller versions than the Mk2 and not offered for sale in the US. This compares to 5894 units produced of the Mk2 GT3’s for comparison.

The Mk1 is regarded by enthusiasts as the most visceral of the GT3’s offering a far more desirable and pleasing rear wing design and light weight single mass flywheel which the Mk2 does not have along with much lower production numbers making this car a far better choice for investment. This particular car lower miles make it a perfect car to be able to drive while still being low enough to stand out among other Mk1’s in terms of condition and potential value appreciation. More than anything, this car offers a drive that few cars today can match with the smaller size and weight being coveted traits that modern GT cars have unfortunately lost. The Mk1 also has the distinction of being the only water-cooled 911 to be assembled at the Porsche Weissach Motorsports plant, a claim unique to this car. This car has no noticeable flaws and the smell, look and drive of the car feel like it was just delivered to the dealership.
