Rarer than hen's teeth - we present the Porsche 911 40-Year Anniversary Edition.
Launched in 1997, the Porsche Carrera 996 was designed as a grand tourer, but it was also comfortable and reliable enough to be used as a daily driver. Upon its launch, the 996 received quite a lot of criticism from diehard Porsche fans worldwide. This was mainly due to the new design of the headlights and the smooth sides without the more prominent wheel arches like people were used to with a 911. Not to mention the move to a 3.4 litre, water-cooled engine replacing the previously used for many years air-cooled engine.
Just four years later, the new model 996 was released. The newly designed headlights, which were more similar to the turbo version car as opposed to the entry-level Boxster, kept the die-hard Porsche owners happy, and more importantly, a larger 3.6 litre engine, powering the new model from 0-62mph in just ~5 seconds.
But it’s this model, which is the very desirable 40-Year Anniversary Edition which is very special. Launched to celebrate 40 years of the Porsche 911, there were just 1,963 units produced, and approximately ~125 were only available for the UK market.
This rare example comes from a private collection having been owned for nearly ten years and done very few miles in that time - it now presents itself as a fantastic opportunity for any Porsche enthusiast to own such a sought-after modern classic.
This listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Paul the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
