This is a genuine UK supplied C16 car fitted with the desirable factory Cup Aerokit and benefiting from a comprehensive Hartech 3.7 engine rebuild. Being an early throttle cable car, it offers a more direct and analogue driving experience highly sought after by Porsche enthusiasts. Originally a 3.4 litre car, it now runs a fully rebuilt Hartech 3.7 closed-deck engine, transforming both reliability and performance. The Hartech rebuild was carried out in 2020 at 93,300 miles with no expense spared and included many preventative upgrades and "while you're in there" items, with invoices totalling approximately £18,800.
