911 Sport
Spectacular collectable low mileage C2 manual Coupe with a desirable combination
of rarely seen driver focused factory options that you just will not find anywhere
else in a hurry. Finished in Arctic Silver with Black hardback sports leather
(heated) and those simply stunning 18" Sport classic wheels which really suit
the model, the main event here is performance option package 014 which consists
of a bundle of driver focused upgrades including the hardback sport chairs, 030
Sports Chassis which is stiffer and 10mm lower and rarely seen. 220 Limited Slip
Differential and also 224 Active Braking Differential. The result is a far
more focused and sportier handling all round 911 - and it's so much more fun to
drive.

This is a unique 996 C2, models with this specification are VERY thin on the
ground and do not come along often, such a terrific example to move forward into
classic status with, this car has a great future ahead.

Service
Another strong point. Has been looked after of late by the best specialists.
No back street garages, knowledgeable independents only have serviced this car.
A file of paperwork accompanies the service book which has 14 stamps including
all the old MoT certificates and invoices for each service. The important
Achilles heals of the 996 have been attended to: IMS RMS and the clutch have
all been done recently and are documented. Thanks to consistent servicing
and maintenance the drive is fantastic and cannot be faulted. Intervals and
recent work noted below.

Wheels & Rubber
These are the best wheels for a 996. Made for Porsche by BBS, these are
18" Sport Classics and they are each in perfect condition. Recently
refurbished properly with the diamond cut factory finish they should
have. Tyres are a matching set of Pirelli PZero with the fronts having been
recently replaced.

Summary
Quite a find and a very rare optioned car. The early drive-by-wire 3.4 cars
are becoming highly collectable, a low mileage car with quirky spec is a sound
investment and it just happens to be extremely good fun too. Condition is as
good as you could hope to find and the service history is impeccable. What
a great car to move forward with, I would keep this for myself if I could.
