“Early” first generation of the 996 with cable throttle, minimal optional equipment and in the manual, coupe guise – a combination that deems this 911 a “driver’s spec”. Finished in Arctic Silver (colour code L92U) and with original amber indicator lights all round, the car has also had tasteful classic Porsche upgrades made to it including “duck tail” rear spoiler (including the correct body panel deleting high level brake light and rear wiper arm), Fuch style alloy wheels and “hounds tooth” upholstery material to seat centres. Black leather interior, boasting the aforementioned iconic “hounds tooth” seat centres, giving a retro feel to the interior, in keeping with the exterior upgrades. A classic-look Continental headunit has been installed, with phone connectivity and DAB radio. The GT3 centre console delete has been installed, simplifying the dashboard and enhancing the driver focused spec. The 996 is basic in terms of specification, with the only factory optional equipment being the Arctic Silver centre lower console, Tequipment handbrake lever with aluminium embodiment and three-prong steering wheel.
