The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
Full service history and just 48,000 miles from new
Registration – W832 VLC
Chassis No. – WP0ZZZ99ZYS605943
M.O.T. – May 2024
Odometer – 48,600
Presented in Basalt Black metallic paint with black Nappa leather interior, this beautiful example of Porsche’s 996-generation 911 Carrera 4 comes exquisitely specified, and with low mileage for its age. Owned by the present vendor for the last 12 years, it has completed only 17,000 miles in that time, and has an indicated 48,600 miles on the odometer in total. Used as a weekend toy for the past dozen years, noe expense has been spared in maintenance, with a full service history and folder filled with receipts, documents, and full Porsche book pack. Fitted with 18-inch Turbo alloys, this 911 Carrera 4 features Porsche’s 3.4-litre flat-six engine and Tiptronic automatic transmission. Factory fitted options include an electric sunroof, Alcantara roof-lining, half-electric heated seats, and two keys. A previous owner cherished ‘W832 VLC’ so much that the Swiss gentleman brought the car with him when he moved to the UK.
The fifth generation of Porsche’s iconic 911, the 996 was manufactured from 1997 in all three body styles – coupe, convertible, and targa. The two most significant new features were the ‘fried egg’ headlight clusters, rather than rounder units found in 911s before and since, and, more importantly, the change to a water-cooled engine from the traditional air-cooled units. Offered initially in coupe and cabriolet forms, the 996 came with rear-wheel drive and the 3.4-litre six cylinder engine, before seeing that expanded to offering four-wheel drive in the Carrera 4 later on. In 2000, Porsche introduced the Turbo version, with four-wheel drive and a larger 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged engine, before focused GT variants – GT2, GT3, and GT3 RS – were presented to the public before its replacement in 2006.
· Beautifully presented example of the 996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
· Well-appointed inside and out with factory-fitted parts
· Relatively low mileage for its age, showing fewer than 49,000 miles
