The Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition, a limited edition 911 to mark 50 years since Porsche first unveiled its rear-engined sports car back in 1963. It's based on a 991 Carrera S with a few styling tweaks and a handful of optional extras. Production was limited to 1963 units, and prices started at ú92,257 in 2014.

The 50th Anniversary Edition is rear-wheel drive but uses the wider bodyshell from the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4 that not only makes it look more muscular than a standard Carrera S, it also means that there's a wider track and revised suspension settings.

Porsche Torque Vectoring, which includes a mechanical limited-slip differential, is an optional extra on the Carrera S but it comes as standard fit on the 50th Anniversary Edition. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), the marque's impressive adaptive damping system, is also included. The familiar 3.8-litre flat-six, which develops 394bhp at 7400rpm, is carried over unchanged and the paddle-shift PDK gearbox was available as an option at extra cost.

Over and above the standard car, the most readily identifiable upgrades include the Fuchs-inspired 20-inch alloy wheels, the darkened headlight surrounds and the chrome highlights across the engine cover. Geyser Grey paintwork is specific to the 50th Anniversary Edition, while a darker shade of grey and the standard Carrera S hue Basalt Black were also available. Inside, cloth seat inserts and a dash-mounted plaque set this limited-edition model apart from the rest of the range.

In Sport Plus mode, the car shakes itself down and really comes alive. Support at each corner is ramped up - although since PASM is adaptive it still works on uneven surfaces - throttle response is sharpened, and a brilliant throttle-blip function perfectly matches engine and road speeds on the way down the gears.

The 50th Anniversary Edition offered here has covered just 11,186 miles from new with a single owner and has Porsche Centre service history (last serviced 27th June 2019 at 10,861 miles). With the look and feel of a 'new' car, this is a real chance to own a limited edition 911 at a very enticing guide price.

This was the second retrospectively-styled 911 that Porsche launched in the space of a few years. The 997-based Sport Classic of 2010 has since become a true collectors' item and the 50th Anniversary Edition has a similar cachet.

This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.
