The Appeal
The sheer usability and enjoyment delivered by the 996 makes low mileage examples like this smart Midnight Blue metallic car a real rarity. It has covered less than 67,000 miles in its 21 years in the hands of two careful keepers.
They have clearly looked after it, maintaining the service history over 14 stamps - it has covered few miles since the last visit - and keeping wear and tear to an absolute minimum. That is good news because this car is particularly well specified, incorporating £8,000 of factory options including that distinctive GT3 spoiler and a carbon fibre interior.
To add to the appeal this car is the later 3.6L model fitted with the Tiptronic S gearbox, which makes long distance driving relaxing and B road motoring engaging. Good examples of the 996 are rarely of this quality.
