Asked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: "This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before completely converted after!" Traditionalists may have decried the 996's water-cooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer's use of a brand-new platform (the 911's first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996's 3.4-litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS's 3.8-litre unit). Allied to either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled the 2+2-seater to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and onto 174mph. More ergonomically laid out and spacious than that of any previous 911, the 996's cabin also boasted a far better HVAC system. Early 3.4-litre 996 cars are increasingly sought after because of their stronger dual-row IMS bearings and mechanical throttles.

Supplied new via Lancaster Porsche of Cambridge being delivered to the first owner on the 1^st of October 1999, the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 offered was finished from the factory in Porsche Arctic Silver paintwork with complementary Black leather interior upholstery. An early 996 example, it features the 3.4-litre engine which is allied to the desirable six-speed manual transmission and it is a non-sunroof example. Optioned with Sports seats, leather interior upholstery throughout, the three-spoke leather steering wheel, Porsche CDR-22 with added CD compartment, rear windscreen wiper, green tinted windscreen top, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Offered now having covered a modest 110,800 miles from new, the 911 is supplied with cherished registration number ‘P3 EXH’.

Boasting strong service history, the Carrera 4 is accompanied by the original stamped service book containing fourteen servicing stamps, with them all having been completed by Official Porsche Centres or Porsche specialists. The most recent service was completed less than 1,000 miles ago at 110,110 miles by PIE Performance Porsche Specialists, with the 996 provided with new power steering lines at this time. Fitted with Remus exhaust back boxes at some stage of its life, that provide a throatier exhaust sound, the 911 is accompanied by a history file that contains the original book pack in the Porsche wallet (with service book and owner's handbook), a collection of previous invoices, a selection of previous MOTs, a current MOT certificate until August 2024, and current V5C document. A well-cared for, powerful, yet eminently practical Porsche that can be enjoyed all year round.
