2001 PORSCHE 911 (996) TURBO

KEY FACTS

• A handsome example of the all-season supercar, finished in a timeless colour scheme and presented in very smart overall condition.
• Under the engine lid is the 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged ‘Mezger’ flat-six, producing 414bhp and driving all four wheels via a five-speed Tiptronic transmission.
• A right-hand drive Hong Kong-market car, this 911 Turbo was imported into the UK and registered with the DVLA in January 2018.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in the demure hue of Meridian Silver Metallic, this high-performance 911 features a black interior with optional ‘draped leather’ upholstery on the front and rear seats.
• Additional optional equipment includes an aluminium Tiptronic selector lever and handbrake lever inlay, stainless steel door entry guards, automatic anti-dazzle mirrors, rear parking sensors, an electric sunroof and a six-disc CD changer.
• This Turbo rides on the correct set of 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, which are in great shape.
• The car will be accompanied by all of its original handbooks, as well as documentation of its service history, its correct tool kit and a fitted car cover.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• Believed to be completely original, the paintwork is in very good condition for the car’s age. There are some minor marks around the vehicle, including a light scratch by the fuel filler flap. The paint is also peeling towards the bottom of the rear passenger-side wheel arch and in the central front grille opening, but these are minor issues.
• Inside, the leather upholstery presents well, with creasing on the seats and minor wear on the driver’s outer bolster, but no heavy discolouration or damage. There are some minor scratches on the lower dashboard, but the cabin is in good order for its age.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults.
• This 911’s last MOT test was conducted on 14 October 2020 at 58,988 miles, which resulted in a clean, first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Turbo’s most recent routine maintenance was a full service, which was carried out in January 2021. This included an oil, filter and coolant change, as well as replacement of the water pump and heater flap solenoid.
• Prior to this, independent Porsche specialist Cavendish performed an oil and filter change in September 2018 at 57,986 miles, as well as replacing the spark plugs, ignition coil and PCM infotainment system with an English-language unit. Furthermore, the plastic front lower bumper splitter was replaced, along with the oil pressure sender, the airbag module, and the ABS looms and sensors.
