The Big End of Year Auction at Bolesworth Castle, Cheshire

 
  Lot 31
 

1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 2
Attractive Aero-styled car with upgraded features and benefiting from a replacement engine

Registration – S388 TJX

Chassis No. – WP0ZZZ99ZXS603417

M.O.T. – June 2026

Odometer – 118,625

Presented in an attractive shade of blue, this example has been upgraded by a previous keeper to 997 Aero specification, featuring the later-style front and rear treatment which gives the car a more modern and sporting appearance. The vendor informs us that it runs and drives well, and the photographs show a tidy cabin with black leather upholstery, a Sony infotainment system and the traditional five-dial Porsche instrumentation.

Included in the sale are two keys, the V5C, previous MOT certificates and assorted invoices. The odometer currently displays 118,625 miles, though a mileage discrepancy was officially recorded on 11/06/2021 at 113,356 miles. The vendor also advises that the car benefits from a replacement engine imported from America, the engine itself rather than the vehicle.

Introduced as part of the 996 generation, the Carrera 2 offered rear-wheel-drive balance, a naturally aspirated flat-six and approachable performance, forming the backbone of Porsche’s range during the late 1990s and early 2000s. With many examples now enthusiast-owned, upgraded cars such as this one continue to appeal to those seeking distinctive styling and classic 911 dynamics at an accessible level.

  • Later 997 Aero visual specification applied

  • Mileage discrepancy recorded (113,356 miles noted June 2021)

  • M.O.T. to June 2026, offered with keys, V5C and supporting documents
