2016 Porsche 911 Carrera (991.2) Manual*

Introduced late in 2015, the second generation 991 (now known as the 991 Gen 2) was the first entry-level 911 to be powered by a 3-litre turbocharged engine, and was regarded by critics and the motoring press alike as a major improvement in all respects. It offered more power, better handling, better 'infotainment' and SatNav, complemented by a major interior upgrade, and generally engendered much more confidence in those approaching modern 911 ownership for the first time, as well as experienced 'neunelfers'.

This was the model to have in the range according to the specialist motoring press. They waxed lyrical about the entry-level 911 Carrera which offered the most useable daily driver 911 for many years, with less road noise and a much better ride quality/handling balance than the 'S' version and heaped praise on the car's 7-speed manual gearbox which was 'the cherry on the cake'.

Intrigued by this potential, practicality and performance, our Iconic Auctioneers Chairman and long-term 911 owner, Nick Whale, set about finding a really good, lightly-used example for his daily use. This car was his choice, ticking all the right boxes including:

• C16 UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 2016 registered and one owner from new prior to Nick
• Beautifully finished in Agate Grey Metallic with an unmarked black leather interior
• All original panels and all original paint
• The all-important manual gearbox
• Good specification including a factory electric tilt/slide sunroof, 20" Carrera S wheels, electric folding exterior mirrors, floor mats , silver tailpipes, red seat belts and PPF to the whole front of the car including both wings and the bonnet
• Low warranted mileage (19,780 at the time of cataloguing)
• Full service history from new, on time and with main dealers up until this year, when a UK Porsche specialist service was completed in June
• Four brand new Michelin tyres, better than Pirellis on this model, fitted in June this year
• Totally immaculate outside and in with no blemishes, marks or scuffs.

Offered at a very tempting guide, this superbly presented Carrera is an absolute delight to own, drive and enjoy and we invite and encourage you to come along and view this impressive Porsche.
