2002 Porsche 911 C4S (996) Tiptronic S - Basalt Black - Extensive History I purchased this beautiful 996 in 2019 after a lengthy search for a well-maintained, honest example. Having viewed many cars, this one stood out for its condition, specification and comprehensive maintenance history. Finished in stunning Basalt Black with a rare Full Leather Package, the car benefits from a full service history and has been maintained during my ownership by Porsche specialists Copse Automotive. The original Porsche Certificate of Authenticity included. Factory options include Full Leather Package, Soft Ruffled Leather, Tiptronic S, Litronic Headlights, Heated Seats, Porsche Crest Headrests, Rear Parking Assist, PCM System, Auto-Dimming Mirrors with Rain Sensor, Aluminium Instrument Dials, Top-Tinted Windscreen and 6-Disc CD Changer. I have always believed cars should be driven and properly maintained rather than stored away. This 911 has been cherished and maintained regardless of cost, with significant work including: IMS bearing upgrade (July 2022) RMS replacement Gearbox mount replaced Brake pipes renewed Propshaft doughnuts replaced Front differential seals replaced Top Gear mild sports exhaust Air-conditioning pipe and condenser replaced Front top mounts and dampers replaced All four lower suspension arms replaced Michelin Pilot Sport 2 N-rated tyres all round The car recently received a minor service and passed its MOT with no advisories. In 2022 the paintwork underwent professional machine polishing, paint correction and a CarPro ceramic coating. The Basalt Black paint presents beautifully and still turns heads today. As expected for a car of this age, there are a few minor stone chips and age-related marks, but overall it is an exceptionally well-presented and honest example. The rare full leather interior is a particular highlight, extending even to the air vents. Everything works as it should and the cabin remains in excellent condition. On the road, the car feels tight, solid and confidence inspiring. Steering is precise, the brakes are strong and the four-wheel-drive system provides superb grip. The Tiptronic S gearbox offers relaxed cruising when required but remains engaging when driven enthusiastically. A substantial history file accompanies the car, documenting years of careful ownership and maintenance. This is not a garage queen, but a properly maintained and genuinely cherished 911, ready to be enjoyed. Private plate not inc.
