Red 3.4 cable throttle 996 with Aero

[Andyoz]

As per title - do many exist from late 90's?

They are really rare. Seems red wasn’t popular with 996s then.

There’s a lovely one at Readers’ Cars

Follow the 'what is an early 996' thread. Most interesting stuff up for sale gets posted in there.

Car itself looks nice but the leather on those seats look terrible, what happened!?

I think they’re Recaros from early Audi RS4 so not OEM.

Was trying the figure that out myself.

Those seats are easily fixed as a second pair of OEM sports seats are about £400-500 to buy. I seem to think that particular car was advertised in the autumn of last year. I’d have bought a red one when I was looking back in 2018 though a bit like speed yellow, they sometimes command a premium over the silver, grey & black colours as it’s a rarer colour.

my Indy has a lovely early 3.4 C2 in red with aero kit on BBS LM's as well, I cant see him letting it go unless someone overs him silly money.

Was thinking the same. The spec, mileage and the first 2 pictures in particular look very similar to a car that was for sale around April/May last year. It may well have been bought and is now back up as I think a lot of people buy 996s believing they understand the risk but then discover they can't sleep at night. or they scratch the itch and move on quick.
