At, or near, the top of everyone’s car wish list is bound to be the iconic Porsche 911. There have been many variations of the 911 through the years and at the top of the model range you’ll find the Turbo. Incredible performance and predictable handling and manners, well at least in the more recent versions, with all-wheel drive and a manual gearbox to make it a fabulous driver’s car.
Designed and built by Porsche it’s certainly one of the easiest supercars to live with and this excellent example has the factory hard-top and garage stand for those times you fancy a coupe, rather than a convertible, to have fun in.

Subtle spoilers and body kit with a wider and lower stance than the normal Carrera help give the Turbo a more meaningful and aggressive look, hinting at, rather than shouting about, its high performance potential.

The Mechanics
Water-cooled 3.6 litre twin turbo flat 6
6-speed manual transmission
Comprehensive service history with Porsche and Specialists
Recent full service
A nicely cared for, and well-maintained example of the legendary Porsche 911 Turbo, with an excellent service record and no reported faults.
The Summary
The Porsche 996 Turbo is already a rare car and demand for this exceptional all-round supercar is on the up. Even rarer is the cabriolet version and that 6-speed gearbox which all help to make this car that little bit more desirable.
Throw in its classic Polar Silver colour, condition, factory hardtop and excellent service history and this is certainly a 911 to get excited about.
