This 1998 Porsche 996 Carrera 4 Tiptronic is finished in Ocean Blue Metallic, which is a shade lighter than the more common Midnight Blue, and complemented by factory 18-inch Turbo-look alloy wheels.

The cabin is finished in full black leather. Options include rear Park Assist, sunroof, the original CD-22 radio, rear wiper and headlamp washers.

This Porsche has a well-documented service history, which shows that the IMS bearing was replaced with a Vertex item by Autofarm in 2017; at the same time various other jobs were attended to at a cost of £2700. Other recent work of note includes a new water pump, new front brake discs, transmission service and more. The car will have a major service plus a brake fluid change before sale. A new Milltek sports exhaust was fitted in May 2022, at a cost of some £1600, and it sounds wonderful without being intrusive. The car has just a major service, a brake fluid change and new air-conditioning condensers.

Philip Raby says: “Early Porsche 996s have really come into their own and, driving this one, it’s easy to see why. It’s small, willing and has great performance and handling.”
