Rarer than hen's teeth - we present the Porsche 911 40-Year Anniversary Edition.
Launched in 1997, the Porsche Carrera 996 was designed as a grand tourer, but it was also comfortable and reliable enough to be used as a daily driver. Upon its launch, the 996 received quite a lot of criticism from diehard Porsche fans worldwide. This was mainly due to the new design of the headlights and the smooth sides without the more prominent wheel arches like people were used to with a 911. Not to mention the move to a 3.4 litre, water-cooled engine replacing the previously used for many years air-cooled engine.
Just four years later, the new model 996 was released. The newly designed headlights, which were more similar to the turbo version car as opposed to the entry-level Boxster, kept the die-hard Porsche owners happy, and more importantly, a larger 3.6 litre engine, powering the new model from 0-62mph in just ~5 seconds.
But it’s this model, which is the very desirable 40-Year Anniversary Edition which is very special. Launched to celebrate 40 years of the Porsche 911, there were just 1,963 units produced, and approximately ~125 were only available for the UK market.
This rare example comes from a private collection having been owned for over ten years and done very few miles in that time - it now presents itself as a fantastic opportunity for any Porsche enthusiast to own such a sought-after modern classic.
This listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Paul the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi, had the IMS bearing been sorted & is there an invoice for this work?
Hi
Last service stamp was in 2012? Could you give further detail as to why there is a 12 year gap please. Also has the car had any work carried out to it of note eg repairs, consumables like tyres brakes etc
Many thanks
Hi
As you can see I’ve only done over 2000 miles In It in the 10 year ownership
It’s been in a air conditioned glass garage as an ornament, I’ve put tyres on it years ag but not really driven it much
No it’s had no major works done as I haven’t done any major miles,
I’d say a service and front valance and bonet paint and it’s a tip top car
Thanks for coming back, so it’s not had an oil change in 12 years? Please confirm. Also I’m guessing the tyres will need replacing due to age now.
Appreciate you haven’t done very many miles but with no work done in the last 12 years it would need full recommissioning as many items will perish over time.
Call it a barn find then,
These cars fetch 35k plus
It’s been in a glass garage ind I’ve had my enjoyment looking at it
