Spring Into Auction – The Bolesworth Castle Classic, Performance & Supercar Auction

 
Lot 58
 

2001 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
Well documented example with comprehensive history file, manuals, invoices and two keys

Registration – FJ51 BBK

Chassis No. – WP0ZZZ99Z15644344

M.O.T. – September 2026

Odometer – 88,000

Few sports cars have enjoyed the longevity or engineering pedigree of the Porsche 911, and the 996 generation marked a significant chapter in that evolution. Introducing water cooled power and a thoroughly modernised chassis, yet retaining the unmistakable silhouette and rear engine layout, the Carrera 4 combined everyday usability with genuine all weather capability. This well presented 2001 example offers four wheel drive security, iconic styling and 88,000 miles of considered use, making it an appealing entry point into modern classic Porsche ownership.

Finished in a subtle dark metallic hue with complementing hardtop roof and black leather interior, the car presents as a purposeful and understated example. The cabin features the familiar five dial instrument cluster, supportive leather seats and driver focused centre console. The odometer records 88,000 miles and the car is offered with M.O.T. valid until September 2026. The history file includes driver’s manuals, maintenance literature, invoices and two keys, evidencing consistent upkeep. Alloy wheels, red brake calipers and the distinctive full width rear reflector complete the classic Carrera 4 aesthetic.

Powered by Porsche’s 3.4 litre flat six engine, developing circa 300bhp, the Carrera 4 channels its output through a five speed Tiptronic transmission and all wheel drive system, delivering assured traction in varied conditions. The 996 generation was produced from 1997 to 2004 and represented the first major re engineering of the 911 since its inception, bringing improved refinement, safety and performance. Today these cars are increasingly appreciated for their analogue driving feel combined with modern reliability and comfort.

In summary

Desirable Carrera 4 with four wheel drive security
88,000 miles with M.O.T. until September 2026 and accompanying history file
Supplied with manuals, invoices and two keys
