crsedge Posted 7January, 2023 Report Share Posted 7January, 2023 Have reluctantly listed my 1998 996.1 C2 on Carsales and fb Marketplace as my long term 914/6 GT project will soon be returning home- 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 996 Manual (carsales.com.au) This car being the first of the 996s had the more reliable dual row IMS and cable throttle accelerator, with the series 1 996s known as the last of the 911 analogue driving experience. This link provides further insight into the features that differentiate the early 996s from the series 2 996s- What makes the 1999 so special anyway?? - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums * Lapis Blue with black leather interior * Manual * 159,XXX kms * 18" Euromeister GT3 rims with near new tyres * New Bilstein suspension, bump stops and Vogtland lowering springs * Aftermarket ducktail and rear wiper delete (original parts to go with the car) * Porsche door subscript (removable) * Fire extinguisher and passenger seat extinguisher mount * Rennline mobile phone holder * New period-style Continental Bluetooth radio (hands free phone equipped) * Aftermarket coffee cup holder in centre console where ashtray sits (original ashtray to go with the car) * IMS (LN Engineering) / RMS/ Clutch replaced * Gundo exhaust * Comes with 2 keys, extensive service history and 996 car cover * Porsche floor mats * Originally UK delivered, been in Aus for 12 years * Excellent condition throughout Huge savings available on this car being the first of the 996s- now eligible for historic registration and exemption from payment of stamp duty in Victoria as now 25 yrs old in 2023 (other States may also have same eligibility?)

It blows apart the accepted narrative about Porsche and the 996 from that time. I don't know what to believe anymore! It's a great read and at times quite hilarious. Good luck with the sale! crsedge and Grimmy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crsedge Posted 18January, 2023 Author Report Share Posted 18January, 2023 Still available 😎 Lots of fb messenger messages and some from Carsales with repeat replies backwards and forwards, but no one has been able to view as yet due to being away. It really is a cracking car if there are any PFA-ers out there interested in the first series manual 996 coupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
