Few cars combine outright performance, everyday usability and long-term provenance quite like the Porsche 911 Turbo. This exceptional 996 Turbo was purchased brand new from Porsche Reading by our vendor in 2001 and is now showing just 29,162 miles, it is presented in exceptional condition and boasts an unusually high specification, with various Porsche Sonderwunsch options. Powered by the legendary 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six producing 420bhp, this example is equipped with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox, offering the engaging driving experience for which the 996 Turbo is increasingly sought after.

The car carries an extensive selection of Porsche Exclusive detailing, denoted by the 09971, 09981 and 09991 codes. The bespoke specification includes leather-covered sill plates, leather headlining and leather-covered instrument cluster surround, together with a body-coloured centre console, seat backs and headlight surrounds. Further details include Porsche-embossed armrests and embossed Porsche crests to the headrests. Other desirable factory options include heated electric sports seats, electric sunroof, cruise control, coloured Porsche wheel centres and an aluminium and leather gear lever. The original Porsche Communication Management has been upgraded with Porsche Classic Communication Management Plus, retaining the factory appearance while adding a modern touchscreen, DAB+, navigation, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Perhaps the greatest testament to this car is its history. It has been serviced by Porsche Reading on no fewer than 22 occasions, with a fully stamped service book back to 2001 and physical invoices dating back to 2006 supporting the work carried out. Most recently, a major service was completed by Porsche Reading on 20 August 2026 at 29,137 miles.

An exceptional one-owner-from-new 996 Turbo with remarkable Porsche main dealer provenance, desirable manual transmission, extensive exclusive specification and outstanding presentation, this is a particularly special example of one of Porsche's most accomplished modern classics and would sit proudly in any collection.
