CONDITION

• This 964 Turbo 3.3 was recorded as a Category C insurance loss, believed to be due to damage to the nearside front corner, with the date of the claim being October 2004 - when the car was worth significantly less. It was repaired shortly afterwards, but was not officially inspected until December 2018. At this point, it was fully checked over by Autolign Northampton, who signed off on its condition, and removed the car from the Condition Alert Register (VCAR). It is now logged on the Condition Inspected Register (VCIR).
• Today, the paintwork is in outstanding condition, having been fully resprayed by Lemass Automotive around six years ago, but driven sparingly since. The photo gallery provides excellent documentation of its impressive finish.

• The air conditioning is currently inoperative, but no other faults have been detected, and the switchgear all works.
