RA55 NKW First registered and pre delivery inspected by OPC in Stratford, London on 01.11.2005. A five previous owner example of what is rather an elusive model. Together with an outstanding specification (as detailed below) its complete with a fantastic service record with seventeen stamps and a wonderful paper spread of bills amounting to over £20K. A striking 997 and a textbook purchase having been serviced every year regardless of mileage covered (Porsche only recommends schedule every 2 years) using Millers nanotech oil as recommended by Hartech. In addition, the future proofing and preventative maintenance are commendable. The 3.6 C4 manual coupes are scarce. Coming direct from a nine-year tenure of ownership this has been a labour of love. It’s been thoughtfully fettled tuned & improved with driver focus and beautiful aesthetics. The result is a car that is fast road sharp and has the performance of a much newer higher end model. Its absolutely on point, looks just right, round of applause. No outstanding finance or recorded damage, HPI clear. Next MOT due 12-October-26,both keys present, all owner’s manuals. Fire extuingsher, toolkit. Lower pre 2006 road tax costs. A1 Service history - 20K + Of Receipts The service book is nearly full, sixteen engine services being the tip of the iceberg. Inclusive of brake fluid change records, long life guarantee report, airbag system checks totals thirty-two stamps recorded, which is worthy of comment. All stamps pictured for clarity. Massive paper spread going all the way back detailing the considerable investment. Last service carried out Aug 25 at 77368 miles, which was a major with new plugs and gearbox and diff oil change. A 4 wheel alignment was also carried out. Wheels & tyres Summer Currently on 19” Carrera classic’s in great condition with good tyres fitted all round. Watch on Youtube Summary You couldn’t find a better car in this price range, it’s been taken to a tasteful level exploiting all the best points and improving on them whilst looking ahead to heading any potential costly issues off at the pass. This level of reassurance matters if you want to enjoy it, we are very taken with it. It delivers on every level, spec, history, enhancements, reliability, price point etc. And it possesses its own visual appeal, you could spend double this money on a 911 and get half the car.
