This 996-generation Porsche 911 Carrera is a timeless and well-maintained example of the marque’s modern classic sports car, offered with three owners from new and benefitting from a recent full engine rebuild. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.4-litre flat-six, producing 296bhp and driving the rear wheels via an engaging six-speed manual transmission. This Australian-delivered example has been driven and enjoyed as intended, but clearly well maintained. The odometer shows 205,855 Kms from new. This 911 is finished in Arctic Silver over a black leather-trimmed interior, featuring hard-back front sports seats with perforated inserts, and punctuated by dark silver trim. It rides on a set of 18-inch ‘Turbo Twist’ alloy wheels, shod with Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres. The factory specification includes a green top-tinted front windscreen, a rear windscreen wiper, cruise control, a trip computer, electrically adjustable heated front seats, automatic climate control, an electric sunroof, and headlamp washers. This 911 has been fitted with a Sony touchscreen media system with Bluetooth connectivity and DAB radio. The car will be supplied with a stamped service booklet, a tool kit, two keys, a warning triangle, and spare wheel. The seller is not aware of any bodywork damage. The Arctic Silver paintwork is reported to be in good condition given the car’s age and usage, though the seller notes a very minor chip on the driver’s door mirror cover. There are also very minor blemishes on the front bumper, minor damage on the front towing eye trim piece, a very small scratch on the engine lid, a tiny chip on the passenger door edge, and minor touched-up stone chips on the offside front wing. Inside, the cabin is presented in generally good condition. There are scratches and scuffs on the back of the front seats, loose trim on the upper edge of the driver’s seat, blemishes on the headlining, minor scratches on the gear knob, wrinkling on the lower passenger door card, and small scratches on the driver’s door card. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults.
