The Appeal
So, you’re thinking of buying a Porsche but you are concerned about big repair and maintenance bills? Well, there’s no need to worry with this 2001 996. Not only is it the classic shape, but it has had a significant amount of money spent on it to ensure that it is a Porsche to be relied upon.
We are not just talking about the best in servicing, we are talking about a full engine rebuild (by Hartech of Bolton, renowned as one of the best), a gearbox rebuild, brakes, wheels, interior trim, you name it, this car has had it and sometimes not because it was needed but just because it’d be better done properly.

The History and Paperwork
- Owned by vendor since 2015
- Excellent Invoice trail totalling circa £30,000
- Cherished plate included
- All past MOT certificates
- Stamped service book
- Current V5c
The Interior
- All original Cinnamon interior
- Excellent condition of leather seats
- New sill kick plates
- Low wear on carpets and trim
The warm contrasting colour of the interior is a welcome change to the more usual red or black and has worn extremely well. The seats are still supportive and bear very few signs of the 134,000 miles that the car has covered because they have had some restorative work by Leathercare.
The dash is clean and free from any apparent sun damage and all the instruments appear to work as they should. As a result, the interior is near new in appearance and function.

The Exterior
- Original Obsidian Black Metallic paint
- Repainted front bumper
- New original factory Porsche Sport wheels
- Hartech engine rebuild
- New battery
The paintwork has not had any major work done since new, except for the front bumper which has been resprayed to eliminate stone chips. The gloss of the paint is still good and bears only a minimum amount of parking marks.
The car sits on a set of original factory wheels which have been powder coated this year. However, a spare set of alternative Porsche wheels are available but could benefit from a refurb.

The Mechanics
- Rebuilt 3.4 litre Engine by Hartech Line
- Rebuilt Tiptronic gearbox
- Replacement IMS and bearings
- Stainless steel exhaust system
- Extensive work on brakes and steering
- New Battery and new Michelin tyres
This Porsche has undergone a lot of mechanical work over the last 7 years. Most of which was preventative rather than essential. The Gearbox was taken out for a rebuild and was becoming noisy. On inspection signs of engine wear and tear became apparent and a decision was made to do a full engine rebuild at a total cost of £21,000.
The engine fires up immediately and settles into a steady and even tickover. A little blip of the throttle and that distinctive Porsche rasp barks out of the custom stainless exhaust.
There has been remedial work to the brakes, steering and air-con along the way. This no-expense-spared attitude has resulted in a car that has had every important aspect renewed, restored or at least reviewed which can only build confidence that this is a car to trust mechanically. Any vehicle that can boast a budget of nearly £34,000 above the original purchase price has to be a sound investment.

Summary
The 911 is an icon and a very desirable car to own. To many, the concerns of servicing costs and the expense of parts can be off-putting, but here’s a car that should belay those fears because of the phenomenal amount of work done to the crucial areas.
Given the extensive work and servicing this Porsche has received, the new owner shall inherit an extremely sound investment indeed. Inside and out this 996 is a great buy with a renovated interior, great paintwork and rebuilt power plant and gearbox.
The next keeper even has a choice of wheels to put on. It’s going to be a hard task to find one with this kind of history, so don’t let this opportunity slip by.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
