This 2001 Porsche 996 Carrera 4 has just had some £9000 spent on it this year, to bring it up to a very high mechanical standard.

Work of note includes a major service, new sports exhaust, all new brake discs, brake pads, brake pipes (including the one over the engine), refurbished brake calipers, new power steering rack and pipes, brake fluid change, transmission oil change, new battery, new rear tyres, air-conditioning refurbishment, and much more. Going back in time, there are receipts for much more work, including a new clutch and RMS seal in 2016. All of which makes it lovely to drive and a great deal for the new owner.

The Porsche is finished in timeless Arctic Silver Metallic with gorgeous two-piece 18inch SportDesign wheels.

The interior boasts full black leather with the Porsche crests embossed on the seat headrests and an Alcantara headlining. There is a contrasting silver centre console, upper centre console, instrument surround and dashboard trim strip. The car has its original CDR22 radio and CD player, and a rear wiper. Being a 2001 car, it has the neat electrical boot and bonnet releases in the door sill, rather than the original levers.

Philip Raby says: “We’ve really gone to town with this Porsche, going the extra mile to ensure that it’s completely mechanically sound. The Sports exhaust sounds fantastic, too. You’ll find cheaper 996s but they won’t be as good as this one.”
