CSC offer for sale this beautifully presented low mileage, well optioned 2004 996 Carrera coupe with 6 speed manual transmission and finished in rare Atlas Grey metallic with complimenting Metropole Blue Leather interior. Having covered a mere 49,000 miles with just 3 owners in 15 years.

The current owner has had the car gone through from bumper to bumper by Cheshire Porsche specialists Ninemeister and has had any items showing signs of wear including new suspension and brake lines replaced as well as carrying out some preventative maintenance such as an upgraded IMS bearing and replacement clutch (see below for a more detailed list of works carried out). With the low mileage, low owners and amount of maintenance recently carried out on the car, this 996 Carrera is without doubt one of the better examples currently for sale in the UK.

The stunning Atlas Grey exterior presents beautifully with very few blemishes and arrow straight body work and is set off beautifully by the bright silver, unmarked 18’’ option alloy wheels which wear a matching set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 ‘N’ rated tyres. Inside, the Metropole Blue leather interior is subtle and again in superb condition and shows no signs of hard use. The immaculate seats feature the option Porsche Crest embossed headrests, whilst other options include Porsche Stability Management, Navigation and BOSE audio. This example is also a rare and desirable ‘non-sunroof’ model and also features a Sports Exhaust upgrade which adds the perfect aural backing track when on the move.

On the road, this low mileage example feels tight and responsive as you would expect with light but accurate controls, and sure footed handling. The 3.6 litre engine idles smoothly and pulls strongly in each gear, the experience much enhanced by the sports exhaust system which adds an aural drama to proceedings without being over bearing or droning at cruising speeds.

Such nice examples of Manual Carrera 2’s are becoming difficult to find and will always offer the most pure 911 experience for the driving enthusiast. The 996 model styling is now coming of age and offers a purity lost in the later water cooled variants, so much so that Porsche themselves now class the 996 model (and 986 Boxster) as classic models. If you are looking for a low mileage, un-molested 996 Carrera in superb condition then look no further.
