Rare Factory "Exclusive" Specification (Option Code 09991)
This car features a unique "boutique" build from the Porsche Exclusive department:
The Targa Roof: Fully functioning sliding glass roof and electric blind. Features the unique opening rear glass hatch.
XLF Factory Sports Exhaust (PSE): Set to permanent bypass mode for the classic flat-six howl (no "quiet-zone" intervention).
375/ 376 Hardback Sports Seats: Rare, highly supportive 2-way electric/ manual height seats.
Bose Sound System: High-end factory audio with multi-CD changer.
Arctic Silver Interior Pack: Factory-painted center console, dash trim, and instrument surround matching the Arctic Silver (L92U) exterior.
Additional Details: Full Black Leather (AH), Porsche crest headrests (XSC), and Aluminum gear/ handbrake inlays. The car is in very good condition and drives with the precision intended by Porsche, the roof and blind being in excellent working order, and the beautiful throaty refined exhaust tone from the factory fitted Porsche Sports Exhaust making it a sense of occasion on every drive.
In addition to the car's full service and maintenance record there is a large box file full of paperwork and history relating to the cars maintenance over the years including every MOT certificate dating back to 2006 and invoices totalling in excess of £20, 000.
As my now teenage children have outgrown the rear seats, I am reluctantly moving into a Jaguar S-Type R, and it is time for this lovely Targa to find its next long-term custodian.
