Every so often a car comes into Premier GT that quietly stops people in their tracks. This is one of those, and we wanted the SCC members to hear about it. A UK-supplied, right-hand drive Porsche 911 991.2 GT3 Touring, believed to be one of just 47 original UK-market examples, finished in Crayon Grey, a colour believed to have been specified on only four UK-supplied cars. Rarity within rarity, and a genuinely significant find for anyone serious about the GT3 story. It is available now through Premier GT.
A Car That Was Already Special the Day It Left Zuffenhausen
The GT3 Touring was never intended to be a volume proposition. Porsche built it as the wingless, understated counterpoint to the standard GT3, aimed at buyers who wanted the engineering without the theatre. Take that already-limited concept, add right-hand drive UK supply, and then add a colour as scarce as Crayon Grey, and you end up with a car that was rare the moment it was ordered.
Why the Market Is Paying Closer Attention
Collector interest in the 991.2 GT3 has been building steadily, and the reasons go beyond nostalgia. This generation represents one of the final naturally aspirated GT3 built before Porsche’s GT potentially has to grapple with tightening emissions legislation. Porsche’s own GT boss, Andreas Preuninger, has been candid in recent interviews about the pressure facing the next-generation car, suggesting that meeting forthcoming Euro emissions standards without some form of turbocharging or hybrid assistance may not be realistic. Nothing is confirmed, but the direction of travel is clear enough that many collectors now view naturally aspirated, manual GT3s as a closing chapter rather than an ongoing one.
That context matters for a car like this. A UK, right-hand drive, Touring-spec 991.2 in a genuinely scarce colour sits at the intersection of everything the market is currently chasing: mechanical purity, understated presence, and a specification story that becomes harder to repeat with every year that passes.
Interior and Mechanical
Under the decklid sits the 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, the same motorsport-derived unit shared with the GT3 Cup and RSR programmes, spinning to a 9,000rpm redline and sending drive to the rear wheels.
One of the Finest Drivers’ Cars Money Can Buy
Reputation counts for a great deal here, and the 991.2 GT3’s reputation among those who drive cars for a living is about as strong as it gets. Chris Harris, reviewing the car for Top Gear, was unequivocal, saying “Porsche haven’t made a better GT3 than this.” It’s a view echoed widely across the enthusiast press, where the 991.2 is routinely cited as the high-water mark for the naturally aspirated GT3 formula, the point where engine, chassis, and steering came together with almost no compromise.
Available Now, Exclusively Through Premier GT
Cars like this do not appear often, and when they do, they tend not to stay available for long. A confirmed UK-supplied, right-hand drive 991.2 GT3 Touring in one of the rarest colours Porsche offered on this market is as close as it gets to a complete story: the right generation, the right specification, and a provenance that will only become more compelling as the naturally aspirated GT3 era draws to a close.
If you’d like to view the car, discuss specification in full, or arrange a private viewing, the Premier GT team would be glad to talk it through with you directly.
