• Owned by the current keeper for the last 4 years
• 4 former keepers

Auctioneer’s Notes:

A nice example ofa 996-generation Porsche 911 Carrera, finished in a combination of Midnight Blue Metallic over a Metropol Blue leather interior. Owned by the current keeper for the last four years and showing just four former keepers in total, this Carrera is offered with a truly impressive history file and presents as a very well cared-for and highly usable modern classic.

Maintenance & Condition:

This 911 benefits from a stellar level of documentation, with countless invoices on file for servicing and maintenance, including a significant number from Porsche main dealers. The original Porsche Guarantee & Maintenance booklet displays nine service stamps, recorded between 2003 at 8,803 miles and 2019 at 89,143 miles, demonstrating a consistent servicing record throughout its life. Combined with the extensive supporting paperwork and MOT certificates, this is a reassuring and well-maintained example of the model.

History:

Supplied with its original Porsche bookpack, this Carrera retains its Driver’s Manual, Dealership Directory and Guarantee & Maintenance booklet, all housed as originally supplied. The accompanying history folder is notably comprehensive, containing numerous invoices charting the car’s ongoing upkeep alongside MOT certificates.

The Model:

The Type 996, introduced in 1998, marked a pivotal evolution for the 911. It was the first to use a water-cooled flat-six engine, replacing the legendary air-cooled units that were used for 34 years, and it introduced a completely new body shell and modernised interior. While controversial at launch, the 996 is now widely appreciated for its performance, usability and outstanding value. This later 3.6-litre Carrera (like this example) produces 320 bhp, enabling 0–60 mph in just 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 177 mph.

Sale Insight:

The 996 Carrera is now firmly established as one of the best-value routes into Porsche 911 ownership, with good, well-documented examples becoming increasingly sought after. With its desirable colour combination, long-term ownership and service history, this example stands out as a particularly attractive opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a modern classic with genuine pedigree and growing collectability.
