This 996-generation Porsche 911 Carrera is a communicative modern classic sports car, offered from long-term ownership and reported to be in highly original condition. Under the rear engine lid sits a naturally aspirated 3.4-litre flat-six, delivering around 221kW to the rear wheels via a five-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission with shift buttons on the steering wheel. This original Australian-market example was first registered in April 2000, and has been with the seller and reportedly second owner for nine years, though it is now unregistered. The odometer shows 105,144 Kms from new. This 996-era 911 Carrera is finished in the timeless shade of Arctic Silver, over a black leather-trimmed interior, punctuated by silver trim accents. It rides on a set of 17-inch ‘Twist’ alloy wheels, which are fitted with mixed Falken tyres. Equipment includes a top-tinted windscreen, a rear screen wiper, an electric sunroof, automatic air conditioning, a Porsche CDR-220 stereo, CD storage, cruise control, and electrically adjustable front seats with three-position driver memory. The car comes with a warning triangle, a space-saver spare wheel, two keys, the stamped service booklet, and all the owner’s manuals with a black fabric wallet. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a small scuff and a scratch on the left-hand upper front wheel arch, slight wear on the driver’s seat, and the bonnet and engine lid release trim is scuffed. The seller notes that after replacing the battery the keys have lost synchronisation with the central locking and alarm, and the rear brake discs and pads could do with replacing. This 911’s most recent maintenance was carried out in April 2016 at 94,940 Kms by Porsche specialist Cairns Services, which consisted of the spark plugs being replaced, the right-hand rear shock absorber replaced, and the brake fluid being changed. Prior to this, a minor service was performed in May 2014 at 80,728 Kms by Porsche specialist Weltmeister.
