KEY FACTS

• A relatively low-mileage example with fastidious biennial service history at Porsche main dealers and specialists.
• Its engine is the 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six ‘Mezger’ motor producing 414bhp, with four-wheel drive via the desirable six-speed manual transmission.
• Major service in 2019 less than 700 miles ago, with both turbochargers refurbished, new air-conditioning condensers, and all new brake lines.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• Finished in the rare 996 Turbo hue of Guards Red with a black leather interior, this car was also specified with heated sport seats with embossed Porsche crest, cruise control, an electric sunroof, and aluminium inlays on the gear shifter and handbrake grip.
• The original books, stamped service record, and two sets of keys are present.

Specification:

• Heated Seats

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• The Guards Red paint is in generally superb order, with the vendor noting only minor stone chips
• Its black leather upholstery is in excellent condition, showing minimal wear in line with its relatively low mileage.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults.
• The most recent MOT test was on 9 June 2020 at 60,705 miles, which resulted in a first-time pass with no advisories whatsoever.

SERVICE HISTORY

• In April 2019 at 60,265 miles, the car was treated to a major service at Porsche specialist Redline Racing. This was an engine-out process as both turbochargers were also sent away for refurbishment, all brake lines were renewed, and new air-conditioning condensers were fitted.
• It returned to Redline Racing in October 2019 to rectify a corroded core plug and oil cooler, which included replacement of the oil cooler and both core plugs, and new o-rings and connectors.
