For sale is my cherished and truly stunning Porsche 911 996 C4S Coupe Manual, finished in the elegant Polar Silver with a contrasting Black Leather interior.
Since my purchase in August 2021, I have meticulously cared for it, spending over £25k on preventative repairs, upgrades, and maintenance.

The standard exhaust manifolds were removed, and all broken studs were extracted. A pair of RPM's CSR Performance Manifolds was then fitted. Additionally, a brand-new exhaust system was imported from FVD Brombacher in Germany, consisting of the Brombacher Edition Sport Muffler Set, married with 200 Cell X-Design Sport Catalytic (for PSE). To complement this install, all four oxygen sensors were replaced.
The FVD Brombacher exhaust setup sounds completely civilised while cruising, providing a GT3 Cup-like tonal quality under full load and effortless modulation in between. The silencers produce low, deep RSR-like tones at idle and in the lower RPMs. However, once in the mid-range, you will experience a higher pitch, motorsport-like rasp reminiscent of a GT3 Cup Car. Best of all, there is no drone in the cabin when cruising. Manufactured in Germany, FVD Brombacher exhausts are comprehensively tested for flow rate, thermal stress, resistance to cracking, and longevity.
Extensive work on the suspension was also carried out by RPM Technik, where all coffin arms, drop links, and other worn bushes were replaced. This was followed by a Fast Road Geo set-up on Manthey Racing equipment. The car is also fitted with a Bilstein B16 PSS10 Coilover Kit, which is perfectly suited for performance driving on the road or track days, allowing adjustable ride height front and rear with 10 damping adjustments.
Additionally, a Numeric Racing Short Shifter Kit has been installed to provide a perfect bolt-action gear change, further enhancing the driving experience. Numeric Racing makes the one and only ball-bearing adjustable short throw shifter for Porsche, now used by almost every Porsche race team in America.
Additionally, the windscreen, rear lights, and battery were all replaced with new parts, enhancing visibility, appearance, and electrical reliability.
This 996 C4S is a perfect blend of luxury and performance, ready for both road and track days. The extensive work carried out ensures reliability and an exhilarating driving experience.
All modifications and maintenance have been documented, and the car comes with a full-service history. All original invoices for the works are available to view and will accompany the car's extensive folder.

Don't miss the opportunity to own this beautifully maintained and upgraded Porsche 911. It is a true driver's car that stands out in both looks and performance. I bought this Porsche 911 because of its iconic status and exceptional driving experience. The 996 C4S stands out with its distinctive wide body, Turbo-style front and rear bumpers, and the signature red reflector strip connecting the rear lights. Its timeless design, combined with the raw and engaging manual gearbox, now enhanced by the aforementioned Numeric Racing Competition Shifter, offers an unparalleled driving experience that modern cars often lack.
