A Cherished 911 in a Rare Colour
This was my first 911 - and I've loved every moment of owning it. It's in Guards Red, which I searched specifically for: it's rare, striking, and (to me at least) the colour a 911 was born to be. It's not a garage queen - I've used it regularly, responsibly, and kept on top of everything it's needed.

Upgrades & Maintenance:
I've spent over 11,000 during my ownership on services, maintenance and general care. Highlights include:
- Brand new JVC DAB stereo with Apple CarPlay (original unit retained)
- 4x Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (N2) tyres
- Major service completed
- Replaced: front shocks, springs, brakes, ignition switch, crossover pipe, oil separator, and more
- Always used Castrol Edge Titanium 5W-40
- Always warmed up gently - never over 2,000rpm until fully up to temperature
The elephant in the room - bore score:
Some faint marks (they will never be mark-less) were spotted when I bought it. Specialists seem divided; obviously for some cars it leads to an engine rebuild my view has been that driving less than 5,000 miles per year I had years to save and obviously have not yet had to worry about it.
Why am I sell (this beautiful car)?
It was my first 911 - I've loved it, cherished it, and tracked every penny spent (meticulously!) But I've always wanted to go back to a Lotus Elise, and I'm finally doing it.
Would you like to see or drive it?
I work from home and can usually be flexible with timings - just drop me a message and we can work something out.
Aside from the stereo (and some removable Le Mans decals - there's still time if you want to take it this year ;o), this is an original, unmodified example of a true modern classic. It's been an absolute privilege to own, and I'd love to see it go to someone who'll appreciate it as much as I have.
