The Appeal
There are other, more powerful, 996 variants, but reviewers have been arguing for years that the one you really want is this car - the Carrera 2. For real world motoring, the sort where you can just jump in a drive, it’s perfect.
This car adds a manual box and non-sunroof specification to that appeal. Finished in well-kept Lapis Blue with a contrasting Savanna leather cabin, it is a really tidy example that has covered less than 73,000 miles in the hands of just two mature keepers. It has spent its life on Jersey before arriving recently in the UK. It carries NOVA registration so is ready for its first UK keepers.
We’re told that the car has only ever been maintained by main dealers and a marque specialist on Jersey. It is said to drive very well with light clutch and no untoward rattles or squeaks. For added buyer reassurance, it will be sold with a 12-month MOT.
