2003 PORSCHE 911

A beautifully presented and extensively restored 996 Carrera 4S finished in rare Lapis Blue Metallic with Metropole Blue leather. UK-supplied right-hand drive, 6-speed manual.

I purchased the car three years ago and have spent that time carefully restoring it to its former glory. It has been used only in the dry and during the summer months, is always stored in a garage, and comes with a comprehensive folder of receipts and invoices. It currently has a clean MOT and will receive a fresh oil service before sale.

I am 3rd owner and the car currently stands at 118,400 miles on the clock.
