The 996 model represents the fifth generation of Porsche’s iconic 911 sports car. ‘OCZ 996’ is a highly desirable exemplar of the breed ticking all the aficionado’s boxes along the way. ‘OCZ 996’ is blessed with the purists’ choice of six-speed Getrag manual gearbox. In this Carrera 4 full time four wheel drive configuration, ‘OCZ 996’ can better deploy its 296 bhp in a full range of road conditions. With a sensible 79,097 miles to date, ‘OCZ 996’ is offered with much recent work undertaken ensuring that it is ready to enjoy immediately. ‘OCZ 996’ includes a body coloured hard top and the model specific private registration number (previously valued at £1500) will also comprise part of the sale. The current MOT is valid until September 2025.

The 996 iteration of the 911 is notable for being the first water-cooled version. The Carrera 4 is fitted with the 3.4-litre, flat six “boxer” engine which was originally rated at a shade under 300bhp. Power is transferred to all four wheels in this example via a Getrag six speed manual transmission. This combination was sufficient for a 170 mph top speed and a 0-60 mph time is around 5.5 seconds. In the current ownership ‘OCZ 996’ has been diligently cared for. Work has included the fitting of new front tyres, new nearside window regulator and a full specialist service at 78,886 miles undertaken by Ninemeister. New discs, callipers and pads were fitted at 73,248 miles and the callipers were refinished in yellow at that time. At 78,969 miles the rear suspension arms were replaced and a reconditioned steering rack fitted by Revolution Porsche specialists. A four wheel alignment was also undertaken at this time. The vendor rates the mechanical aspects of ‘OCZ 996’ as “good.”

‘OCZ 996’ presents in the great looking Zenith Blue hue with a matching and desirable hard top, five spoke Porsche alloy wheels and the 996’s distinctive “fried egg” headlamps. The sports orientated cabin is finished in black leather and exhibits the usual and iconic VDO Porsche instruments with the big tachometer taking centre stage in the binnacle. Bodywork, paintwork and interior are rated as “average.”

In summary:

• Highly desirable six speed manual Carrera 4 Cabriolet configuration
• Complete with hardtop and model specific registration number
• Subject to a god deal of recent professional care and attention
