Description
2002 Porsche 996 Carrera 4s - Hartech-rebuilt engine - £50K of work invoices on file
Desirable six-speed manual gearbox
Strong and consistent service history
Recent major works including new clutch, flywheel, and brakes (Jan 2025)
Well-specified example with heated/memory seats and BOSE stereo
This particular example was first supplied by Porsche Centre Belfast in April 2002 before coming to the UK in 2005. Crucially, it benefits from a Hartech engine rebuild, allowing peace of mind where many 996s cannot. Added to that is a long and detailed service record, significant recent investment, and a specification that makes it both enjoyable and practical to own.
Recently received extensive maintenance including a new clutch, flywheel, brake discs, and pads all round. In short, it's ready to be driven and enjoyed by its next custodian.
