911virgin are an independent company who specialise in the buying and selling of used Porsches.
Based just outside Uxbridge (M25 Junction 16 / M40 Junction 1) we have been selling Porsches for 30 years or so and have developed a deep understanding of what makes for a good car. Coupled with specialist Porsche knowledge this allows us to deal in cars right across the board, typically from the 1970's through to the modern era.
As well as more common models we sell a lot of niche cars such as the GT3, GT2, GT4, Spyder, RS and so on as well as historic Porsches. Whilst much of our stock is owned outright we are always happy to discuss selling something on your behalf. We are self funded and financially secure making us an extremely safe platform. When selling a car car we offer the same guarantees to buyers regardless of whether it's a stock or customer vehicle
Above all we are Porsche enthusiasts, Henry used to race GT3 cup cars and hopefully that enthusiasm comes through in our videos.

Porsche 964 RS restoration - Dropping off the engine and gearbox for a strip down and rebuild
I had 997.2 GT3 exactly the same as that one , changed it out for a 997 turbo S which you sold SOR for me over Covid Wish i still had the GT3 really
Thanks, Henry- that's my 964 C2. It's "quite" original 😉 Those are (genuine Porsche) 17" Cup wheels, and the suspension is Bilstein coilovers, which gives it the RS stance. It has 928 GTS brakes. The engine and interior are original. It has Classic Retrofit electric A/C.
That 996 GT3 RS in Blue ..OMG , I'd have that over the 992 version any day. Would the 997 GT3 CS have a 3.8 DFI engine or was it a Mezger?
One of the reasons why people like this particular car is that it's the last of the Mezger engines, in 3.8L form. Really solid performance.
Back in the day ,I was offered a GT3 Club Sport from main dealer Porsche Cars GB, £54,000 with low miles in Cobalt blue, They were always a lot of car for the money, wish now I had brought it.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing....
Hi, How much would you charge for all of the hoses on my 997.1 C2S to be changed please. Great video as well
can you aford the new version of this car???? ... oh. you can not. so stay im be ci le. simple.
What a strange comment. Assuming the estimated cost is around £45,000 then yes, I could afford one, in fact it looks extremely good value when compared to someone like Porsche.
Prefer this bodywork. Makes the ever growing 911 a little bit smaller. Litchfield tune, wheel spacers, job done 👍
Hi Henry, great to follow the buildup of the RS. As a long term owner of an Indian Red RS, I decided to take off the front brake cooling ducts a previous owner had fitted. The standard car had dummy clear lens. I’ve reverted back to standard buying the original Porsche lens. Will you do this on your? I see you have the aftermarket brake cooling ducts that I took off. Thanks again for the content, it’s really great. Regards Warren
I think I will keep the brake ducts as they are.
WRONG!!! Boxster=Boxster+Speedster! Porsche own "Speedster". Why on earth would they use Roadster? Thought it was just the Yanks who were ignorant of this. Also, you forgot the 912.
When it comes to Porsche specific refurbishment I would love to know if they colour match the plastic centre caps or repaint them. If they are repainted, what about the Porsche crest emblems ?
We ended up having to get these magnesium alloys refurbished at a specialist magnesium refurb place. They got "measles" after a couple of months. It was a really involved job. It's usually just easier to buy new centre caps. You can mask out the emblem and paint the silver but if there's any deterioration of the crest buy new.
Lovley Stuff 👍, that's my Miami Blue 718 Spyder, which a week later Ive now sold..
Wow...just bought the 80 inch model for my car (C8 Corvette) and I should have seen this video first. They are being delivered tomorrow. Got them thru Amazon at $536.00 and perhaps I will send them back immediately. You are correct in saying plenty folks talk about how good they are new but not in terms of how they hold up. Thanks.
Another GR Yaris review. Like there’s not 1000 of them already
Thank you for an honest review. For the money the race ramps IMO are not worth buying. The company offering a 10% discount for the same quality ramp is a slap in the face telling you to go pound sand.
Spot on review, had mine for 6 weeks after coming from an M2, absolutely no regrets, great car that doesn’t want to try and kill you in it’s natural environment of B roads when pushing on unlike the M2, can’t see me selling it any time soon if at all ✅
The most cheeky car that edges u on to pick fights we'll above its weight, gives u the biggest grin is still my puny Fiesta ST mk7. It's razor sharp, precise handling. The GR is a brute,. The chopper knife whilst the Fiesta ST is a surgeons scalpel. I love both lightweight hothatches, one being a decade older and the other (GR) is what is best wt 10 years of car legislations ontop. I'd keep both for as long as I can
Bass speaker in the circuit pack??
Nice GT3, awesome porsches and colours on air cooled cars,,speedster wide body cool , Bobs car awesome
The 993 at 6 mins 25 secs is a 993 RS Clubsport variant, it is not a regular 993 RS, which was produced in a greater number, albeit a more limited production run, compared to the 2 generations of 996 GT3.
Thank you Henry, your review popped up on my feed and I’m glad I watched it. I like how your background is Porsche so to say what youve said about the GR is high praise. I’ve owned my GR for 2 years now, multiple track days and a Nurburgring trip. It never fails to disappoint or put a huge smile on my face, can’t see me ever selling it.
Excellent video, I never expected to see this, what a fun car.
Awesome video. Perfect take on it. Especially coming from the world of Porsche.
Thanks, nice to see my 987 Boxster next to the 991 GTS cab 👍
I enjoyed this video. I own a GR Yaris and regularly go out on drives with mates in GT3's, GT3RS's and various other forms of 911's, GT4's, GT4RS's. I'm always genuinely surprised at how well this little nugget holds its own and, on some roads, even thrashes the pants off those more expensive and refined cars, especially in the wet. Truly a remarkable little car that people regularly underestimate. And I think that's what I love about it the most. Cheers
Felt more brave driving the original GT86 in the wet than driving the Yaris with it's all grip dynamics..
Brilliant content
Thanks 🙂
The video makes me want to keep mine now. I was thinking about replacing it with a 981, 718 or a 997.2. I am not sure now 🙄
Different cars. I think with the Toyota you aren't necessarily expecting much and it takes you by surprise. The Porsche comes with high expectations so has to deliver. I'm going to say you don't have to try as hard in the Porsche because everyone knows what it is.

*GR Yaris
As an owner of a 993RS for 17 years, I enjoyed this video. Its value got too high to take round the race tracks so I swopped it for a GT4 (981) and kept the change. I’m sure I’ll regret it soon enough but for the time being, I enjoy the GT4.
The GT4 is a great car, we sold another one this week. You are right though, as values rise the cars get used less.
Great no nonsense video, you're got yourself a new subscriber
Glad you found it useful 🙂
@@911virgin8 I like that you dont hype up the ims issue. Some folk over react. I've had a 996 and 986 over 8 years both high mileage and no issues. I see some advise removing and leaving off the bearing rear seal to allow engine oil to flow around. What do you think about this?
@@vintagesteelgarage It does prevent a localised build up of metal which in turn acts like a grinding paste and also ensures the bearing doesn't dry out. I'm not so sure about the replacement "uprated" bearings which have a limited life and become a service item.
@@911virgin8 yes I agree on the aftermarket ones. At some point I'll take my gearbox out and check the ims.
Henry History Lesson 1948 Speedster the year Porsche started up not 1963
1963 was referenced as the year Porsche launched the 911 and that's why they often produce 1963 examples of limited run cars. 🙂
This modern 911 Speedster just sticks all the boxes.The Boxster Spyder is a fine act too, something for everyone.What a fantastic marque Porsche is.
Yes, the Speedster is a cracking car as is the Boxster.
Hey! Good video. That Lava Orange RS is mine😅
Hopefully see you there at the meeting this week. I think we're going old school this time.
The speedster is a desirable 911 to own along with the Cayman and Boxster due to the two seats. The speedster is super rare as a snakes ass, love em.
As usual, beautiful cars Henry. Both open tops for that perfect weather you were enjoying there, and that with their own 'music box' sound. Great that green 964 too. BTW, that spiders 40K and 80K? gosh excellent values! Cheers from Houston
The Spyder is £40,995, the Speedster £280,000. both good value I think.
I hope to goodness you don't patronise all of your customers as you did this poor chap.
Genuinely sorry if I caused offence but we just don't do electric cars. In the 4 years since posting our first video we haven't mentioned EVs. We do internal combustion with no thought for the moment of changing. It helps that we sell and service a very broad church when it comes to generations. There are tons of places that debate which is best, ICE or EV but I'd rather not get into an argument over it. I have my views and I guess the fact we don't have a single EV or hybrid on the fleet speaks volume but which ever cup you drink from I'd rather find similarities than differences.
@@911virgin8 14:38 Henry. Nothing whatsoever to do with EVs.
@@diremond3700 The fact that someone so young has an appreciation of cars like the 993 Targa makes me happy to the core and he is a true enthusiast living and driving the dream. Forgive me for celebrating the fact. My proudest moment this year was getting my young daughter into a 987 Boxster.
@@911virgin8 All the more reason not to patronise him, don't you think?
@@diremond3700 If I've got it wrong I humbly apologise. These aren't scripted or planned, very much on the spur. In this case a conversation was had off camera to ensure all was well.
A last reminder of how good ICE cars can be - before we disappear down the EV/Tech rabbit hole……
Don't be so defeatist. There are viable alternatives.
Given some of the cars there were from the 1950's I think we've got plenty of Porsche options to keep us going for a while yet before we run out. When it comes to electric cars at least Porsche are producing something which still adheres to optimum handling.
@@911virgin8 You should be highlighting the money Porsche are investing in their alternative fuel plant in Chile. That, or ideas such as that, is the future. Forced electrification is a disaster for the planet, for car manufacturers and for buyers. Buy a Porsche (or any other) EV and lose a fortune overnight. Wonderful!
@@911virgin8My worry is that this fixation on tech / EV on the part of the manufacturers is an attempt to generate Mobile Phone levels of “built in obsolescence” into cars - and to then push the consumer into ever more expensive “subscriptions” with manufacturers - wherby they have to change/upgrade model every 2-3 years, and rely wholly on “in dealer” servicing. I’d always thought / hoped that EV’s would make the performance car simpler and cheaper - but we seem to be heading in the opposite direction.
@@neilrobson3064 The manufacturers have to somehow recoup their costs thanks to the forced legislation. No-one is winning here and if we don't start resisting then the future most certainly isn't bright.
Nice legs, Henry!
Very kind of you to say. It's worth pointing out that I am currently happily married and not looking to get into another relationship but should circumstances change I will keep you in mind. Don't bother sending photos at this stage though.... 😃

Thanks. That red speedster is absolutely gorgeous 🎉 And always have time for the 356
The 991 Speedster is a very special car not least of which because of its GT3 underpinnings. Who doesn't love the look of a 356 !
Nice Colour Speedster, My favourite is still the 89 Wide G body Speedster red with the black stone gaurds
Sold a 3.2 Speedster a few years ago now for £35,000. Hindsight is a wonderful thing although I guess we had to eat in the meantime.
The only good-looking Speedster is the 356.
It is certainly an iconic look.
What are those two skinny baguettes coming out of the bottom of your shorts?
There are some places on this planet where legs like those are highly prized and a niche market Only Fans channel where I could clean up.

Thank you for the highly informative video. I was swirling in the purchase funnel but extricated myself. I am going to go with jack rails on the Boss 302 Laguna Seca.

The perfect 911 - nothing balanced the 911 DNA with modernity quite like the 993…..
Beautiful car! I owned a 1986 944 Turbo (951) for many years and whish I still had it. I must caution you, however, to never slam the hood (bonnet) or the rear glass hatch. The rear glass is famous for delaminating near the hinges at the top of the glass. Just bring it down slowly and then gently push it shut, as you would with a 911 bonnet. And please don't tell me you slam 911 bonnets closed to!
😊
Sorry, 951 was the internal Porsche name for the 944 Turbo and Turbo S. I had the Porsche complete technical manual for my car, which was a 1986 first year Turbo. It was referred to as the 951 throughout the manual. I sold the manual with the car, or I could prove it to you. The Turbo S was a much improved car, but they didn't make near as many as the regular 951. I knew the car inside out, having rebuilt the engine myself in my garage. The engine part numbers all started with "951."
