Description
Porsche 911 Carrera 2, first registered in October 2000, with 131, 961 km. The car is in excellent overall condition and has been regularly used and carefully maintained. It has Porsche service history supported by documentation, together with further maintenance records available with the car. This is a 3. 4-litre Carrera 2 equipped with the Tiptronic S transmission, which can be used as a conventional automatic or with manual gear selection through the steering wheel controls. I have used the car regularly in Portugal for approximately one year and it has always performed reliably. The tyres were replaced recently and the car is ready to be driven and enjoyed. The car is right-hand drive and retains its original UK registration. The original V5C is present, together with the available vehicle and maintenance documentation. The car is currently located in Portugal. The only known minor issue is that the radio display does not illuminate, although the sound system itself works correctly. The car can be viewed and test driven by prior arrangement. Additional photographs, videos and maintenance documentation are available if required. The real appeal of this 996 Carrera 2 is its versatility. It can be a modern classic kept for weekend drives and Saturday lunches, but it is equally capable of being used as a genuinely practical everyday car. The Tiptronic S transmission makes it easy and comfortable to drive in normal use, while still allowing manual gear selection from the steering wheel when wanted. The rear seats provide additional space and the front luggage compartment is surprisingly practical – large enough for a full grocery shop. This is what makes the 996 such an interesting 911. It can have a place in a collection without needing to spend its life stored in a garage. You can enjoy it on a weekend, take it on a longer journey or simply use it for normal day-to-day driving. For someone looking for a usable classic Porsche rather than a car that can only be brought out on special occasions, this Carrera 2 offers a particularly attractive balance of 911 character, comfort and practicality.
