2004 Porsche 911 996 (1997 - 2006) Targa SOLD

Within current ownership since August 2013, this very well presented 2003 Porsche 996 Targa has been. Complementing a fully stamped service book from 10, 081 Miles to 150, 424 Miles, is a bundle of further invoices totaling upwards of £15, 000 at a Porsche Specialist, within the last 5 years alone. These covered the replacement of most major mechanical and suspension components, with an important engine overhaul in January 2025 at a cost of £8050. Albeit with a higher mileage and current reading of 151, 378, this specific example offers that unique benefit over the majority of others for sale, where the expensive repairs and high quality parts have already been replaced and fitted at the current owners expense, offering a cheaper ownership for the discerning buyer.

Already being a sought after Targa model exclusive to the 2003 production run, this specific example benefits from a well selected specification, including a 6 Speed Manual Gearbox to pair with a 3. 6L Flat-6 Engine, black electric memory seats with Porsche crested headrests, Multi-CD player and Bose sound optional extra, xenon lights and 18" Carrera Classic alloys.

Finished in a stunning 'Lapis Blue' colourway, the paintwork after undergoing a full 3 stage machine polish and coating presents extremely well with only a few front end chips on the bonnet and a light scratch below the rear spoiler to flaw. The interior, in contrast to mileage and age, shows very minimal wear throughout. Both front and rear seats are in stunning condition, showing no damage in addition to all the surround trim and leather. All electrics work as they should with no dash lights faults. There are some scratches on the rear door cards from rear passenger's shoes over the years, as well as some rips to the drivers side floor mat.

With the recent invoices and engine overhaul previously mentioned, this 996 has been nurtured to a very healthy and high mechanical standard. With service intervals listed below, specialist invoices can be supplied upon request to show the extent of parts replaced throughout recent years, in addition to the rear exhaust boxes, radiators, ignition coil, rear brake disc, pads and shoes, front and rear shock absorbers, suspension top mounts and arms, inner and outer track rods. The 18" Carrera Classic alloys are wrapped in 'Pirelli P-Zero' Tyres all round, the wheels show signs of age/ mileage related wear and would benefit from a full set refurbishment. With a 11 Month MOT till 28 July 2026, there are a few advisories noted that still need attending to, being grease on front and rear brake pipes, slight play in the rear anti roll bar bushing and lower front bushing. This 996 is the ideal example for any enthusiast wanting a sports car they can use and enjoy with confidence.
