Overview
The 996 is the perfect compromise. It was rapid and entertaining like a 911 should be, but it was also docile and easy to drive around town.
This is a narrow-bodied 911- essentially the entry-level 911 of its era, with two-wheel-drive, but also the most pure and true to the original 911 style and favoured by many enthusiasts as a result. It's also a Targa, which would has since been disabled.
Current owner almost 20 years, ever since it was just three years old and they bought it as a used vehicle from a Porsche specialist. Ever since then, they have kept on top of the maintenance with both Porsche dealers and specialists and have kept on top of additional repairs where necessary.
It's a great way into 911 ownership and a guaranteed future classic.
