The 996-generation 911 was a watershed moment for Porsche - the first water-cooled iteration of Stuttgart's iconic sports car. It was quite the turn up for a marque that had stayed so strictly purist-friendly for so much of its life, but it's paid off long-term. Once overlooked in favour of its air-cooled predecessors, the 996 has become increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts who recognise its dynamic ability and relative affordability within the 911 lineage.

This 2003 example, showing 100,285 miles, comes with a Hartech engine rebuild. Well known within the Porsche community, Hartech's work directly addresses the bore scoring and IMS bearing concerns that have long shadowed the M96 engine. The brakes have also been recently refurbished with new brake lines, adding further peace of mind.

Accompanying the car is a comprehensive history folder with invoices and receipts documenting the care invested over the years. The vendor considers the car mechanically sound overall. With an MOT valid through to March 2027, this 996 Carrera 2 is ready to be enjoyed.
