Car collector sells fleet of 18 identical Porsche 911 GT3s worth £2.2m
Never-driven supercars can be bought individually for £119,000
A car enthusiast in the Netherlands is selling a fleet of 18 Porsche 911 GT3 supercars worth a total of €2.4m (£2.2m).
According to the motoring forum Pistonheads, the collector claims to have placed the order for the track-focused cars in 2015 and was planning to build a private racing circuit on which to drive them.
But the website says the racetrack was “never built and the fleet of cars was left undriven”.

The 911 GT3s come with the same gloss white paint and Porsche’s optional Club Sport pack, Pistonheads reports.
The pack adds racing-inspired safety features such as a roll cage and six-point harness seatbelts, the website adds, along with a battery cut-off switch and fire extinguisher.
The fleet is available to buy in its entirety, or the cars can be bought individually for €134,500 (£119,100) each, says US-based magazine Road & Track.
The price of a single model is a relative bargain for 911 GT3 buyers, as second-hand models with more than 1,000 miles on the clock sell for around £130,000 on used car website Auto Trader.
