"The first 996 Series cars arrived on our shores in October 1997 but only in hardtop coupé form. Those who wished to have the wind in their hair had to twiddle their thumbs for another year before the cabriolet versions were launched, as well as Carrera 4 all-wheel drive variants. Both manual and the Tiptronic S automatic gearbox were offered. 2001 saw a revision of the 911 Carrera 2 and 4 ranges, with turbo-look headlamps, revised steering and suspension, some interior upgrades, but most importantly of all, a 3.6 litre engine which developed 320bhp.
This attractive example is presented in the subtle colour combination of metallic grey with a grey leather interior. The look is enhanced with a factory fitted Aerokit and orange brake calipers. Equipment includes satellite navigation, air conditioning and a factory fitted sunroof. The car is powered by a 3.6 litre engine and is mated to a Tiptronic gearbox. The vendor informs us that this Porsche is a joy to drive and has been totally reliable during his tenure. It comes with a stamped service book, a comprehensive MoT test history, various invoices and all the original manuals. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate, this impressive Porsche represents high end sports car motoring at a fraction of the original cost."
