INTRO / EXTERIOR FEATURES

A beautiful example of the “driver’s” spec 996, which we have just refreshed with £9,000-worth of work, including a full suspension and exhaust overhaul (detailed below). This is a very early 1998 car, with the cable throttle and in basic guise, to the extent that it is even without traction control. All important 6-speed manual gearbox, coupe with sun-roof delete. Finished in Arctic Silver (colour code L92U), with wonderfully kept bodywork. Unmarked, timeless “Turbo Twist” 18″ alloy wheels, clear headlights and clean tail pipes.

INTERIOR FEATURES

Stunning contrasting terracotta interior, which sits alongside the silver exterior beautifully and makes for a really special 911. The 996 is basic in terms of specification, with the only factory optional equipment being the three-prong steering wheel, on-board trip computer and the 18″ Turbo Twist alloy wheels.
