1999 Porsche 911/996 Carrera 4 | The Summer Serenade Auction | 18th July

• Low owners over nearly three decades
• Maintained with a comprehensive service history
  
• Bore scoping report December 2025
  

Finished in black metallic with a full leather interior, this early-production Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4 was first registered in October 1999 and is fitted with the sought-after six-speed manual gearbox. Having covered just 72,282 miles from new and with only three former keepers, it presents as a well-maintained example of the first-generation water-cooled 911. Powered by the 3.4 litre flat-six producing 296bhp, this early car benefits from the cable-operated throttle.

The comprehensive history file includes the original book pack, Porsche service book with 24 service stamps featuring both Porsche main dealers and respected specialists, including CMS Porsche and Dave Griffiths Racing. Supporting invoices document routine maintenance together with notable expenditure on items including suspension components, control arms, coil packs and brake lines. Further recent investment includes new brake discs and pads, rear shock absorbers and additional front and rear suspension components fitted in February 2025, at which time the car also received a service. The 18-inch Turbo-look Technology alloy wheels are presented in excellent condition. This vehicle has had over £6,000 spent in the last few years and has been part of a collection.

Factory specification includes 18-inch Turbo-look Technology wheels, rear wiper, three-spoke steering wheel, top-tinted windscreen, electric sunroof, CDR-22 radio, CD changer preparation, CD storage compartment, two-way electric sports seats, leather upholstery to the front and rear seats, and extended leather trim to the dashboard and door panels. A bore scope inspection carried out by Dave Griffiths Racing in December 2025 confirmed no areas of concern within any of the cylinders, with the accompanying report included within the history file and on a digital file.

Offered with an MoT test certificate valid until January 2027, this attractively specified Carrera 4 presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a manual-transmission early 996 with modest mileage, extensive history and significant recent expenditure. Consigned Baljit Singh
