2001 PORSCHE 911 (996) CARRERA CSR

KEY FACTS

• Under the engine lid is a 3.6-litre flat-six engine (complete with an upgraded IMS bearing), producing 320bhp which is delivered to the rear wheels through an engaging six-speed manual transmission and a Wavetrac limited-slip differential.
• This 996 CSR has been meticulously cared for and has been serviced exclusively by RPM Technik since its 2017 rebuild.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• The original Seal Grey paintwork is in good condition, with some stone chips to the front end of the car commensurate with its age and mileage. There are some minor chips and imperfections on the door mirror caps.
• The OZ alloy wheels have recently been refurbished and are in excellent condition, with no visible scuffs or other blemishes.
• The original black leather-trimmed interior presents very well, with some minor creasing on the front seats and light signs of use on the steering wheel and gear knob. There are some minor scuffs to the rear of the front passenger seat. 
• The car is reported to be in excellent working order, with no known mechanical or electrical faults.
• The most recent MOT test was conducted on 2 July 2021 at 92,749 miles, when the car recorded a first-time pass with one advisory for a worn nearside rear inner suspension arm pin or bush, not resulting in excessive movement. This was immediately replaced and re-setup with the required CSR geometry.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This 911’s last scheduled maintenance was carried out in July 2021 at 92,749 miles by RPM Technik, who performed a general oil and filter service, as well as replacing the undertray, both rear tyres, an inner coffin arm bush, and refurbishing the alloy wheels. The suspension geometry was also set up at the same time.
• Prior to this, in August 2020 at 89,770 miles, RPM Technik performed a major, which included replacement of the spark plugs, drive belt, filters, large air-conditioning pipe, and all four brake discs and pads.
