Asked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: "This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before, completely converted after!" Traditionalists may have decried the 996's water-cooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer's use of a brand-new platform (the 911's first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996's 3.4-litre engine initially developed 296bhp and 258lb. ft. of torque (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS's 3.8-litre unit), which was later uprated to a 3.6-litre unit producing 320bhp and 273lb. ft. Allied to either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled the two-plus-two to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and on to 174mph.

This 996 Porsche has truly been cosseted all its life, having entered the present father-and-son family ownership when it was just three months old and covered a mere 29,000 miles from new. Finished in the beautiful colour scheme of Lapis Blue Metallic with Grey leather upholstery, it boasts a most impressive specification including a slide-and-tilt electric sunroof, 18in. Carrera alloy wheels (with new Pirelli P-Zero tyres), Porsche Stability Management, a top-tinted windscreen, rear parking sensors, a PCM system, a six-disc CD changer, Litronic headlights with a cleaning system, a three-spoke leather sports steering wheel and Porsche emblems embossed in the headrests.

Although in near-continuous use across its life, the Porsche had covered the majority of its mileage by 2009, when it stood at 20,000 miles. Since then, use has mainly been confined to high days and holidays, with maintenance as necessary. The most recent service was performed by the independent Porsche specialist Revolution of Birstall in July, 2024, at 28,311 miles, which included a drive belt change.

The current keeper received the 911 as a gift from his father in 2023, but since it has seen such little use in recent years, it is perhaps fitting that it should seek a new home where it will be enjoyed in the manner Porsche intended. It is in superb order throughout, even down to the air conditioning, which is said to “blow ice cold.” Having been MOTed in May, 2025, with no advisories, it should be ready to enjoy, and if we were presently planning a summer holiday, we would be looking at this Porsche and seriously considering a driving tour of France or Italy, or maybe the Rhineland and the Nürburgring. It is also now offered including the private registration number 'S321 MMM'.
