2003 Porsche

It took me a long time to find this car as I was quite specific about the spec I wanted so hopefully my ideas of the perfect spec are similar to yours!

- 2003/53 (delivered on 29th Oct 2003)

- finished in lapis blue with dark blue leather interior with light blue seat belts (looks great) with blue hood and matching lapis blue hard top (stand, cover and wind deflector and case included)

- manual gearbox (I tried both and it had to be a manual for me)

- Porsche switchable sports exhaust (sounds great and has had the mod to ensure it sounds great at all speeds with the switch still operating as it should)

- sat nav with telephone module

- X51 Power Pack factory upgrade from new which was a very expensive option (£9,100) and delivered 345bhp (includes additional water cooling, oil cooling, upgraded oil pump, full cast alloy intake plenums and ported inlet valves, higher lift camshaft, modified exhaust tubing, improved pistons & conrods) very rare to find on any 996

- Porsche uprated suspension from new

- litronic headlights

- recent radiators with protective grills fitted at the same time to ensure they stay in tip top condition

- RMS / IMS work carried out with guarantee still in place from my specialist (transferable)

- water pump just replaced with metal impellers rather then the original spec plastic ones (common issue on 996's)

- full service history initially from Porsche and then from a specialist (who has looked after the car for the last 3 owners) detailed as below:

1) Sept 2004 @ 14k

2) Feb 2005 @ 26k

3) Aug 2006 @ 39k

4) Jul 2008 @ 49k

5) Jun 2009 @ 51k

6) Jul 2010 @ 53k

7) Jul 2011 @ 56k

8) Jul 2012 @ 59k

- usual other extras including electric windows, mirrors, roof etc.

- taxed until the end of August 2013 and MOT'd until 1st March 2014

- HPI clear with no outstanding finance (feel free to run your own check)

- private plate shown in the pictures has now been removed and the car is on it's original registration BL53 ENN

She really is in great condition with paint correction having been carried out not that long ago and it still looks fantastic. The hood has been regularly treated so is also in lovely condition.

I've polished and waxed the car more than driven it to be honest and a change in my work situation means I won't have a chance to use it as much as I want (hence the sale). I've got the full spec sheet for the car and can email it across to anyone who is serious about the car.

Come and take a look as I'm confident you won't find a better one (I didn't when looking). I really don't want it to go but can't justify it sitting in the garage not being used.

I would really appreciate no time wasters or anyone wishing to purchase on behalf of anyone abroad and arranging shipping (I will only sell to someone who comes to see the car and pays by CHAPS transfer).
