This car has been posted before, almost a year ago or so. I know it says miles, but it might be kilometers. Either way, she looks great and it sounds like she has the original PCCB rotors.

Sorry if its been posted before, just mighty impressive on so many levels. As to the mileage, quite certain it's MILES rather than KMs as it's a UK, RHD car. Be interesting to see if the new owner will continue to rack up miles.

Regardless how "we" covet these cars, they are some of the best mechanical engineering in the automitive world and were meant to be driven.

Gives me hope for mine to last as long!

For somebody who has finally crossed over 10K miles recently, it is stories like these that let me know this car will last well past when I am long gone..........

185K km (115,000 miles) is very impressive. The Mezger GT3 should be in the Louvre

Not sure why everyone thinks this car's mileage is in KMs. It's a UK market car, they record speed and mileage in MPH and miles. Therefore, car has just under 300000KM.

Impressive at either mileage for a focused car such as this given its relative lack of years.

So they don't use the metric system in the UK for cars, just the signs???

To hell with that, we're miles, always will be, none of this euro kms stuff . There's no way the uk is swapping over to kms. That GT3 is 100% in miles.

No rattles or squeaks?

Does anyone have a GT3 that does not have any rattles or squeaks (with the ignition key on)? I would love to know.
