The ultimate non-GT derivative of Porsche’s ground-breaking 996-series of 911, the Carrera 4S (often shortened by enthusiasts to C4S) was introduced in 2002. Utilising the same widened bodyshell, brakes and suspension as its Turbo sibling, the newcomer also benefited from the enlarged 3.6 litre engine common to most 996-series Generation II models. Rated at 320bhp / 273lbft, the DOHC flat-six was allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission. Able to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.0 seconds and onto 174mph, the manual gearbox cars proved faster and more involving to drive but were not so adept in city traffic. Offering better grip and roadholding than the narrow-bodied Carreras and more refinement than the track-focused GT3 and GT2 variants, the Carrera 4S was deemed by many to be the ‘sweet spot’ in the 996 range. Only in production until 2005, just 17,298 C4S Coupes and 5,757 C4S Cabriolets were sold worldwide.

Finished in the fetching combination of Arctic Silver with Metropole Blue leather upholstery, ‘LY03 XEX’ is said to possess ‘an eleven-stamp service history’ not to mention ‘a big file of previous bills / invoices for works carried out’. Last treated to a major service by Porsche Centre Perth at 96,131 miles (less than 1,000 miles ago), the Coupe boasts a sports exhaust and rides on correct-type 18in alloy wheels. Equipped with the preferred six-speed manual gearbox, aluminium trim adorns its gear knob and handbrake. Electric memory front seats are complemented by a three-spoke, leather steering wheel, uprated BOSE stereo and Porsche mats to protect the carpets. Further benefiting from a rear wiper, air-conditioning, reverse parking sensors, PSM (Porsche Stability Management) and PCM (Porsche Communications Management incorporating sat-nav), ‘LY03 XEX’ seemingly represents great value for money. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, paperwork file and original bookpack.
