Description

As seen on TV! Immaculate, a high spec car. It appears during the boat vs car vs bicycle vs public transport race across London on 'Top Gear.' Believed to be Richard Hammonds support vehicle. I took a year to source this car! It has had 10k spent on it in the last 5000 miles. All extensive work essentially required and will cost you for simular cars if it hasn't had the work already done! Such work as: new coil packs, new clutch, gearbox oil change, balanced and re-faced mass flywheel, all condensor pipes; feed & return up and over coolant pipes done, brake pipe lines done and coated, lower suspension arms & lower near & off side track rod arms renewed, new exhaust heat shields, borescope & IMS inspection. The IMS bearing is the upgraded larger double row ball bearing, with seal removed. This car has had all the above work completed and other than the next service which is minor(spark plugs renewal and general service, oil change etc but not due for 18 months) of which I've been quoted from Porsche Horncastle 295 pounds. The next service is 2 more years after so nothing is due for years with trouble free use with no costly bills due to pop up like other cars advertised on here. This car has many extras you don't find together often, turbo short shift gear box/selector, carbon fibre 'round' steering wheel (not the less appealing triangular one) - titanium centre console, full length stainless steel Porsche embossed door sill guards, Porsche embossed headrests. PASM, suspension dampening control, 2 port exhaust pipe; valve operated to open to be a 4 port exhaust; sounds amazing. 19" turbo wheels, Cobalt black metallic paint which has been ceramic coated. 4 good tyres; 7mm's at the front 6mm's at the rear, immacculate wheels, no wear in the interior and leather, upgraded stereo, pioneer SPH-DA230DAB, admirably and tastefully upgraded Porsche rear badging. The original can go back on if required. Rear smoked lamps, also can be returned to original. Brake calipers have been re-coated. The more desirable 6 speed manual gear box, a much better driving experience than the tiptronic & semi automatic, PDK versions, with hugely less service costs as well. 2 Porsche keys. N/B the private registration is not sold with this vehicle. This car is a head turner but unfortnately a self-build project forces reluctant sale. The car immensly enjoyable to drive & I will be very sorry to see it go. Everything works & drives how it should, a very sharp and great car all round!
