We are excited to have this rare and very collectable modern classic Porsche 911 in stock. The 996 40th Anniversary, as the name suggests, celebrated 40 years of the Porsche 911, and was sold in 2003 and 2004. A total of 1963 were built, in a nod to the year that the 911 was introduced, and we believe only around 200 came to the UK. This is car number 794.

It is finished in gleaming GT Silver Metallic (a shade that was previously only used on the Carrera GT supercar). At the front it features the large intakes from the 996 Turbo with unique body-coloured slats. Down the side are Aerokit-style sill extensions, while the rear end boasts a 911 40 Jahre badge.

Inside, is a pair of Dark Grey Natural Leather, heated, hard-backed Sports seats, a numbered 911 40 Jahre badge, a GT Silver centre console, Bose sound pack, silver bezel surrounds and unique 911 sill plates.

The icing on the cake is the X51 Power Pack which takes the engine output to 345bhp, 25bhp more than standard; that’s second only to the GT3 in terms of naturally aspirated 996 power. The Sports suspension is lowered by 10mm and firmed up to improve the handling, aided by PSM (Porsche Stability Management). All of which makes the 40th Anniversary a fantastic car to drive.

This superb example also features PCM2 (Porsche Communication Management) with sat-nav, Litronic headlamps and a rear wiper, plus a Tracker.

With just 69,000 miles on the clock, the Porsche benefits from a full main dealer service history and has had just two owners from new. The last service was undertaken by Porsche Portsmouth in September 2018 at 68,350 miles.

This is an opportunity to acquire a rare and collectable 911 40th Anniversary Edition. The previous 30th Anniversary cars have rocketed in value, and we wouldn’t be surprised if these follow suit.

Unless otherwise stated, all our cars are put through a thorough independent mechanical inspection and any faults found are rectified before sale. They are also issued with 12 months MoT (without any advisories) and a six month warranty underwritten by us. Part exchange and finance available.

Philip Raby says: “I love this Porsche. It’s far more than you’d think, with the PowerKit and uprated suspension transforming the feel of the car. Any 996 is a a great machine, but the 40th is a real joy to drive and is very special.”
