Hi everybody,

Can somebody tell me if there is some UK Porsche specialists selling LHD 996? I heard that LHD cars are usuallly cheaper in UK.
Thanks in advance for indicating me some links and websites.

Yep. Take almost any car and the lhd equivalent is more than the rhd - even in the UK. There are some specialist LHD dealers (look on ebay, PH, ...) and they are expensive.

It's a pity you don't want a LHD 964 because there's a beautiful black widebody 964 that's had a full engine rebuild and re-spray that's just come up for sale (private sale).

I bought a LHD 964 (manual, C2, the best!) back in 2001 (I don't fit in RHD aircooled 911's due to steering wheel offset, as an added advantage it was ~£5k cheaper than equivalent RHD version).

When I sold it in 2003 I had 10 enquiries in 10 days mostly from mainland Europe and Iceland too. In the end the car went to Sweden. It was great as I got to drive it back with the new owner, a nice way of saying goodbye with a 500 mile roadtrip.

Adrian Crawford sells quite a few LHD cars - he doesn't appear to have a 996 in stock right now, but may be worth a call?
