2002 Porsche 911 (996) C2

When Porsche introduced the 996 in 1998, it heralded a big departure from the timeless 911 concept, for not only was it radically different to its predecessor, but for the first time a Porsche 911 was water cooled. The changes were driven by the market which had become more demanding in terms of refinement and power and those same principles apply some 20 years later. The 996's body styling was totally new and the interior was redesigned to give the venerable 911 a new lease of life. As is the way of things, in 2002 the facelift model arrived incorporating headlight and bumper changes and an improved aero package and these subtle changes further enhanced what has been described as the “First truly modern 911 with grand tourer and supercar performance”.

Offered here is a stunning Porsche 996 Carrera 2 finished in Arctic Silver with just 8,974 miles from new which was initially purchased by Mr. R Madhvani from HR Owen on 1st March 2002 with our vendor being just the second owner. The colour combination is absolutely classic with the sleek Silver exterior being nicely balanced by the soft ruffled black leather interior. The full specification includes 18” Carrera wheels, electric seats, rear park assist, aluminium gear lever and handbrake lever, and stainless entrance panels. It is fitted with a Bose 'high-end' sound system, and Porsche Communications management. The'Tiptronic S' transmission and a fitted Tracker complete the inventory of this high specification stunner. The history file is more than comprehensive with details of its cherished life and full Porsche service history including a number of invoices and all its earlier MOT Certificates corroborating the low mileage.

Low mileage Porsches are the "perfect storm" for investment potential with the 996 gathering inertia and this delightful car is definitely in that category.
