Description
Rare factory XAA Aerokit 996.1 Carrera 4, 6-speed manual, finished in Arctic Silver with black leather. Genuine factory Aerokit confirmed by the original Porsche option sticker - not a later conversion - with distinctive early "taco" rear wing, XRL 18" SportDesign wheels, factory sports seats and desirable non-sunroof body.
First registered 03/05/2001. I have owned the car since 25/07/2017, buying it at approx. 91,000 miles. Now 94,000 miles and garaged under cover throughout my ownership, used sparingly and mainly in dry conditions.
Excellent documented history: original Porsche service book with Porsche main-dealer/specialist stamps at 10k, 16k, 21k, 23k, 28k, 49k, 53k, 55k, 57k, 72k, 84k and 94k miles, plus a large folder of invoices/receipts.
Importantly, Zentrum Porsche Nottingham carried out a borescope inspection and DME/over-rev analysis at 91k miles in 06/2017. Cylinders were reported clear with no bore scoring and DME data showed no damaging over-rev activity. Report, receipt and inspection CD included.
Significant maintenance includes both front radiators, major service, brake discs/pads, brake lines, coil packs, suspension top mounts, refurbished wheels and alignment. Fitted with a Dansk stainless sports exhaust giving the 3.4 flat-six a superb deep Porsche sound.
Factory specification includes XAA Aerokit, XRL SportDesign wheels, 375/376 sports seats, 436 3-spoke steering wheel, 446 Porsche crest wheel centres, upgraded sound system and Porsche Exclusive/special-production code 09991. Original factory specification stickers remain in both the service book and beneath the bonnet.
Rear seats currently removed for a cleaner GT3-style appearance but original seats are included and easily refitted.
Drives extremely well, good clutch, no warning lights. Two keys, HPI clear, MOT until April 2027. 7 former keepers. Private sale after nearly 9 years of ownership.
