Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Here for sale is my well cherished and maintained Porsche 911 (996) I have owned the car for Just over two and a half years and at the young age of 75 years old I have decided to hang up my Porsche gloves. The car is finished in the extremely RARE VESUVIO CHARCOL, this is a special order color that has been available from Porsche since 1995 but very rarely seen on the roads today. The car has just completed a full health check and had a full service and new front brembo discs and pads fitted and the bill was just over £800, so piece of mind for the next owner. So many of these cars on the market today and if you have to replace brakes all round and have a service then you would expect to shell out around £1500. I would not sell a car that required that sort of work and I have owned many Porsche’s over the last 40 years and this car drives as tight as it did when it was new. The 6 speed manual box is smooth and the 3.4 litre engine pulls in every gear effortlessly as they all should do. The next owner of this 911 will have nothing to shell out until the next service I am confident of that. The car also comes with 19inch Sport Design Wheels fitted with Michelin pilot’s front and rear. The interior is in excellent order and everything works as it should do! The exterior is also very good and the pictures do not do the car justice. The car in my time is not allowed out in wet weather and is always garaged 24/7. The car has a service history fully stamped up and there are invoices for thousands and thousands of pounds, all receipts etc are in the large history file that could choke a horse.

Hello Neil,

Is this car still for sale?

Neil is one of the organisers for TIPEC in Scotland and he posted this car in the for sale section for one of the members up here. It would be best to try and phone the number and ask, or try the e-mail address.

Ok, thanks for that.
