Here’s a lovely 2002 Porsche 996 Carrera Tiptronic. It’s a facelift 996, which means it has Turbo headlamps, the later 3.6-litre engine and a more refined interior.

The exterior is Arctic Silver Metallic with 18-inch Carrera five-spoke wheels, while inside you’re treated to full black leather. The car boasts Park Assist, PSM (Porsche Stability Management) and a rear wiper, while the head unit has been updated to a touch-screen Clarion radio and sat-nav with Bluetooth.

The Porsche benefits from a well documented service history which shows that it has been cherished and well maintained. Headline recent work includes new suspension front top mounts and front and rear arms this year, new exhaust back boxes last year, and new air-conditioning condensers in 2017. In addition, the car was serviced in August 2020 at 98,893 miles. Tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport all round.

The car is in superb condition, inside and out, and is a joy to drive. The five-speed Tiptronic transmission gives you the choice of automatic changes which adapt according to how are driving, or manual changes using the steering wheel controls.
