Description
The car has a full service history all previous MOTs and a leather binder with invoices going back to 2022.
I have owned this car for over 10 years and it’s been bullet proof which is no surprise being the renowned Metzger engine. The car was originally silver with a black interior which I soon decided to change. I had quite a few jobs and a service with Ninemeister shortly after purchasing it.
Performance
The car was mapped by Wayne Schofield at Ninemeister in April 2016 and tested on their Dynostar rolling road before and after. The figures are engine power, with drivetrain losses added back: Before the map: 446 hp at 6, 675 rpm, 418 lb-ft at 4, 181 rpm After the map: 485. 5 hp at 6, 718 rpm, 476 lb-ft at 3, 751 rpm That’s a gain of around 40 hp and 58 lb-ft over standard, with peak torque arriving lower in the rev range. For reference, the factory figures were 414 bhp and 413 lb-ft. The rolling road printout is in the folder.
My History
All servicing ever since has been with Darren at Unique Porsche in Bolton I am certain he will vouch for myself and my car. The service hook is fully stamped up and I have a leather embossed folder with a stack of invoices going back to day one. The car has a titanium exhaust fitted that isn’t that loud and not at all boomy it also has MILLTEK race manifolds I had 996 GT3 6 pot front callipers fitted front tyres gave lots of tread the rears are new. The callipers and wheels were restored in yellow and black 2 years ago. I then had the car wrapped in a gloss red that I didn’t like as it was too eggshell in appearance. I then had it wrapped in satin red and had the interior retrimmed in red/ black leather. I bought some new carbon bits for it including a tiptronic gear shifter the trim at the front of the windows the drivers has the window controls set in it, the key surround, the surround above the climate controls and the instrument binnacle surround. Believe it or not these bits cost over £2k so I decided spending that sort of money on the rest of the interior trim just wasn’t worth it so I had the rest was carbon dipped.
I bought a Macan steering wheel for the car that I had retrimmed with a Design Porsche column adapter but the rocker switches are not wired to anything the Sony stereo has its own remote fixed to the steering column. I’ve added small things like USB ports in the rear, USB ports connected to the Sony stereo next to the heated seat switches, ashtray delete with a switch that opens my garage door, Design Porsche door pulls and USB cigarette lighter lookalike in the horseshoe, Porsche puddle lights and cup holders even though it has the standard ones I’ve put a new one near my left knee it’s so much easier to use and doesn’t spill everywhere like the originals. I have fitted the gear change adjuster for the Tip and LED footwell lights. I had red gauge faces made with “Turbo” inserted and a red warning light surround. In the front boot I have installed a battery charger/ conditioner. New Porsche Design metal fuel cap.
As you can see the car has wanted for nothing it drives superbly and still turns heads. I am fortunate in having a few nice cars but being 70 I hardly drive the car as the MOT history below shows. It has an electric sunroof that was slow the day I got the car so I’ve never used it since.
If I keep the car my next job would to be to wire up the paddle shifters on the new wheel. History file The car comes with its full history in a black leather folder with an engraved "Porsche 911" plaque. It contains: Fully stamped service book Every invoice going back to day one, including Porsche in Malaga, Porsche Centre Exeter, Ninemeister and Unique Porsche Rolling road printout from the 2016 map MOT history and HPI report Buyers are welcome to go through the whole folder when viewing.
Note on mileage.
An HPI check will flag a mileage discrepancy. This is due to a recording error, not an odometer issue.
The car was a Cat D when I bough it 10 years ago it was used in Spain by one it’s previous owner at his holiday home I don’t have any pics but in the folder is a long letter of all the service history and money spent on upkeep by him in Spain including his words re the accident.
"The car drives very well. There are no faults or lights on the dashboard. I’m a qualified mechanic and own my own workshop. I’ve maintained the car to a high standard and I’m a Porsche enthusiast – this is my second Porsche Turbo. It’s due to business commitments that I’m sadly selling this beauty. I have spent a lot of time and money (no expense spared) on the car. The car has been owned by me since January 2011; the previous owner was my older brother, who had the car since May 2010. The car was involved in a non-fault accident in May 2011. The damage was to the driver’s side door and driver’s side wing – NO MECHANICAL DAMAGE. The car was an insurance write-off, CAT D – VERY LIGHT DAMAGE. The car was repaired using new genuine Porsche parts, including every nut and bolt."
