*Very rare Millennium Edition 996
*Reportedly only 3 RHD UK cars
*Full service history

Produced between 1996 and 2004, the Porsche 996 debuted the first all-new platform in a 911 for 34 years – and was the first water-cooled edition of the car. At the time of its development, Porsche was facing financial difficulty and faced significant pressure for the 996 to be a success. Thankfully this proved to be the case, and the 996 is known to be one of the best driving 911s with a 45% stiffer chassis and a 50kg weight saving over the 993. The 996 was designed by Pinky Lai for the next Millennium – and this example embodies that design ethos. Launched in December 1999, the 996 'Millennium Edition' is exceptionally rare, and it's reported that there are only three RHD examples in the UK. The car features a unique 'Violet Chromafair' colour scheme, which reportedly changes colour between black, green and purple in differing light. The car also featured 18" chromed Turbo Twist alloy wheels and a full tan interior with wood accents. This example has a set of 997 style alloy wheels fitted, however a set of Turbo Twist alloy wheels could easily be refurbished and chromed for a more original look if desired. Overall, the car is in a very good condition and runs and drives well with a factory fitted replacement engine installed 20,000 miles ago. The bodywork, paintwork and interior all present well. The car has only 85,341 miles and is equipped with the fabulous 6-speed manual gearbox. A unique opportunity to acquire a rare limited edition Porsche 996.
