This 996 Carrera is a real unicorn car. It’s finished in super-rare Vesuvio Grey Metallic, which is a rich, deep shade which offers a subtle glint of purple in the sunshine. It’s a stunning colour that we have not seen before, and is offset by a set of Turbo Twist alloy wheels with coloured centre crests. The interior is Space Grey with Ruffled Leather seats. It boasts a three-spoke leather steering wheel, an Alcantara headlining, the original CR22 head unit, and even has the original cassette holders in the centre console. A rare option for a 996 is cruise control. Being a rear-wheel drive Carrera with a manual gearbox and no traction control, this Porsche not only looks great, it also offers the pure 996 driving experience, too. In other words, it’s a lot of fun! This Porsche is in superb condition. It has a well-documented history with just four owners from new; the last for 13 years. There is paperwork, including old MoT certificates and receipts for servicing and other work. It is very apparent that this Porsche that has been properly maintained, regardless of cost. The most recent invoice is for a major service in June 2025, when the plugs were changed, new heat shields and exhaust clamps fitted, and a full four-wheel alignment undertaken. Other recent work includes new air-con condensers, new clutch and steering rack, and uprated ceramic IMS bearing. Philip Raby Specialist Cars is refreshingly different.
