1999 Porsche 911 (Type-996) Convertible with Hardtop

Registration no. T183 SHL Chassis no. WPOZZZ99ZXS643413

Footnotes

Produced between 1996 and 2004, the Porsche Type-996 debuted the first all-new platform in a 911 for 34 years, and is known to be one of the best driving 911s ever produced. This 1999 example is in good condition overall. The silver paint and bodywork both present well, and are both thought to be a period colour combination with the black leather interior. The car has a high specification and features the factory sports suspension with shock absorbers as well as a Porsche sports exhaust. It also features a 6-speed manual gearbox for added driver engagement. Unfortunately there is little history with the car (bar the original drivers handbook), but the 3.4-litre flat-six engine is reported to be running and driving well. It has been unused since the summer of 2017, so recommissioning is recommended prior to retuning to active use.
