The Car Company Run by EnthusiastsThis particular example boasts exceptional provenance. Originally supplied by Porsche Centre Sutton Coldfield, it served as the official demonstrator vehicle at launch placing it among the very first 996 Turbos delivered to the UK market.
Since 2003, the car has been in the careful custodianship of a single private owner, a discerning enthusiast who has maintained the vehicle to an impeccable standard over two decades. Now in his late seventies, the gentleman owner has preserved the car in dry storage, exercised mechanical sympathy, and ensured it was maintained regardless of cost.
This continuity of ownership is rare, particularly for a 996 Turbo, and reinforces the vehicle’s authenticity, originality, and collector appeal. It has never been modified, tracked, or subjected to misuse, a true “survivor” in the best possible sense.
Included with the car are:
• Three original Porsche keys
• Original Porsche book pack
• Stamped service record
• Documented maintenance file
• Factory-installed tracker system (reactivable by subscription)
This is not just a well-kept example it is a car with traceable provenance, clear history, and a continuity of care that reflects long-term enthusiast ownership. The kind of car increasingly difficult to source in today’s market.
