About this car

This is an early 996.1 Carrera 2, the first water-cooled 911, with the 3.4-litre flat-six and a six-speed manual gearbox. It is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and sits on 18-inch Techno wheels.

The specification is more interesting than the badge suggests. It has the Sport package with sports suspension, a 40% limited-slip differential and sports seats, plus the factory GT3 aero kit, which the dealer describes as rare on a 996.1.

The page lists ten previous owners, with the current keeper since 2012. It has had a new major service and a borescope inspection, and the dealer says it is fitted with the dual-row IMS bearing. An over-rev report and bore check have also been carried out. It has covered 98,705 miles and shows an MOT to August 2027.

Porsche 911 buying guide

The Porsche 911 has been in production since 1964 and has kept the same basic layout throughout: a flat-six engine mounted behind the rear axle, two seats up front and two small ones behind. The range runs from the everyday Carrera and Targa to the four-wheel-drive Turbo and the track-focused GT3 and GT3 RS. Buyers choose it because it works as a daily car, is well built and has a large network of independent specialists.
