2003 Porsche 911 (996) GT2 Comfort

The Porsche 911 GT2, manufactured between 1993-2012, was the pinnacle of the Porsche performance range and the most expensive model in that range. It was based on the 911 Turbo of the day but featured an upgraded turbo, larger brakes and competition derived suspension. It was also lighter than the Turbo being only available as a rear wheel drive car (N.B.The 993 and 996 versions did not feature traction control!) and always featured a lightweight, stripped out interior. It was available in the 993, 996 and 997 generation of the Porsche 911.

This stunning 996 GT2 was delivered new in 2003 and finished in Arctic Silver with a black leather interior. Factory specifications included: sports seats, carbon trim, carbon handbrake and carbon gear lever. Having covered just 20,000 miles from new, the car is supplied with a large service history and original wallet. The first major service was carried out at Porsche Reading at 5,549 miles, then by Porsche East London at 8,565 miles and again with Porsche East London at 11,886 miles, 13,588 miles and at 16,749 miles. In 2012, the car was serviced by Porsche specialists 911 Box at 16,842 miles and again at 18,331 miles in 20/9/14. Prior to coming to the auction, this GT2 will be freshly serviced again.

Having resided in a significant Porsche collection for a number of years, this example has been stored in a temperature-controlled environment and been maintained with no expense spared. The bodywork presents beautifully with very sharp paint quality and even panel gaps. The interior is in beautiful condition and the car is free from any modifications.

The 996 GT2 is considered by many to be an underrated model and with only 129 examples ever sold in the UK, the numbers would suggest they have decent long-term investment potential, especially when compared to other GT2 models.
