Description
Hello,
I am offering for sale my 2002 Porsche 911 (996) Turbo X50, finished in Seal Grey Metallic with black leather interior and white dials. This has been my second 996 Turbo, owned as a weekend car and maintained to a high standard. I am an architect with a real appreciation for classic Porsches, and I bought this car primarily for its aesthetics, character, and timeless design rather than as a daily driver. I would genuinely like it to go to someone who will enjoy and appreciate it in the same way. I am only selling it because I relocated to Dubai in April last year, and it feels like a shame for such a brilliant car to simply sit unused in a garage rather than being driven and enjoyed by an enthusiast.

As an owner who understands Turbo cars, I have always:
- Properly warmed the engine before driving
- Allowed the turbos to cool before shutdown
This is a straight, highly original X50 that remains true to its factory specification, which is becoming increasingly difficult to find. I am happy to discuss the car knowledgeably with genuine buyers, and for seriously interested parties I will be happy to provide the registration number for MOT history checks and the VIN number.
This car is 23 years young, so naturally there are small, age-appropriate signs of use, exactly as you'd expect from a well-cared-for classic of this era.
No test pilots. No swaps. Sensibly priced for the right buyer.
