The 996 Turbo and specifically the 'X50' Performance Pack cars are the most potent factory specification of that generation. This particular car is a six-speed manual Cabriolet finished in Polar Silver Metallic over a Metropole Blue interior and hood — a specification very few cars left the factory wearing. The accompanying Certificate of Production confirms the car's full specification and the 'X50' Performance Pack, as well as heated seats and ParkAssist. The factory supplied hardtop also accompanies the car.

The depth of history that defines this example has been individually assessed and compiled into a single digitalised provenance file. Turning two decades of paperwork into a clear and verifiable account of every owner, service and mile, all cross-referenced and documented to a level of detail you will not find on another example. The knowing of exactly how a modern classic has lived is a point of confidence that is rarely afforded to a buyer in this market.

Delivered new by Porsche Centre East London in October 2003, the car spent its first eleven years under Porsche main-dealer care — first with Porsche Centre Colchester through to 2009, then a long relationship with Porsche Centre Kendal through to 61,839 miles, before passing to established marque specialists including Jasmine Porschalink, Zuffenhaus, GCR Central and LAP 911 for its most recent service in 2025.

The service record is fully stamped and supported by corresponding invoices throughout. Most recently the car received a new starter motor in 2025 alongside the service, preceded by a replacement water pump, drive belt and a fresh Bosch battery in 2023. The turbo vacuum actuator and a complete set of ignition coils were renewed in the final year with Porsche Centre Kendal. What this car may carry in mileage over some alternatives, it more than answers for in the quality and evidence of its ownership — a level of due care and respect a 996 Turbo deserves and what some lower-mileage examples often cannot demonstrate.
