Description
POLITELY: NO MORE TIME WASTERS ON THIS CAR.
PLEASE READ THE ADVERT FULLY AND CAREFULLY... IT IS NOT A SHOW CAR, NEITHER IS IT SHOW CAR MONEY, IT NEEDS A LITTLE TIDYING, IT IS THEREFORE SOMEWHAT CHEAPER THAN MANY SO ONLY CONTACT IF SERIOUSLY INTERESTED AND NOT DREAMING.
Early 1998 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 2.
3. 4, 6 speed manual in Arctic silver with dark grey leather.
996 & PCGB member registered car previously owned my the MD of Sealey Tools.
Extremely rewarding example; tight, responsive & very grippy Porsche.
Comes with all the books, 2 keys, original Sony CD, digital climate/ AC, electric windows/ sunroof/ mirrors, cruise control, Pirelli P Zeros on original Twists all round, ferrous coated pistons, cable throttle with the tougher IMS.
Excellent authentic investment that can be used daily.
Within the stack of service history are 12 years worth of records from the very reputable AUTOSTRASSE and from COLWOOD MOTORSPORT thereafter up until 2021, from which point it hasn’t seen much light of day since.
MOT is until May 2025 with no advisories and the transparent history is generally very good for a car of this age.
It starts on the button, the clutch is fantastic and power is very strong.
There are a couple of negatives but only aesthetics;
The passenger side rear quarter and bumper corner have some cloudy fade to it, I have been polishing it to bring back the shine and it’s working but feel that it would benefit from a machine polish or some lacquer adjustment and the front bumper has some webbing and would ultimately benefit from a light repair or re-paint.
The drivers door has a few pin dents and may require a mobile dent specialist to correct on a small budget.
Just don’t have the time to have this corrected, with regret it needs to go and be enjoyed by someone who will give it the love it deserves… maybe being a bit fussy but it wouldn’t take much effort to make it look as good as the rest of the car.
The front number plate is off and a new one has been ordered due to some cracking.
The interior is simply lovely, there are no negatives to report… it’s just a lovely place to be, snug and sporty with just some age related cracking on the front seats, no rips or tears.
This car is healthy, fun and always a pleasure to drive due to being in the hands of the right people within Porsche circles.
As per above; with a few cosmetics ironed out it will make for a decent future investment if taken to the next level on a budget, desirable too being a manual.
Open to sensible offers... please don't insult.
IF WANTING AN IMMACULATE, 100% SHOW CAR PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT AS THIS IS NOT IT, IT IS HALF THE PRICE.
I'm tempted to mildly restore and cage it for track use but ultimately could do with the space.
View near Maldon, Essex at private residence, 30 minutes from M25/ London.
Please note: this is a private sale from a PCGB member since this car was new in 1998.
