2002 Porsche 911 Targa, Registration no. T2 FUG Chassis no. WP0ZZZ99Z2S630966.
Odometer reading: 89,066
MOT: 08/01/2022
*Tiptronic model
*Presents well
*Sensibly priced and good value
*Low mileage example
*Full service history
Introduced in 1997, the Type 996 version of Porsche's evergreen 911 fully justified its maker's claims to be 'all new'. With the 996's introduction, Porsche finally adopted water cooling for the flat-six engine, which powered a car that shared no panels with its immediate predecessor and was longer, wider and higher than before. Despite the overall increase in size, Porsche's engineers managed to lower the 996's drag co-efficient by raking back the windscreen. Bonded-in front and rear screens contributed to a significant increase in the stiffness of the aluminium chassis, which was clad in galvanised steel body panels. Water radiators were mounted at the front: two for manual transmission cars, three for those with the Tiptronic semi-automatic 'box. The new 24-valve engine displaced 3.4-litres and produced 300bhp, which was good enough for a top speed of 174mph. Engine capacity increased to 3.6 litres in 2002 and maximum power to 316bhp.
This Tiptronic Targa was purchased by the enthusiast vendor in March 2020, since when it has been fitted with new tyres, serviced by Cotswold Porsche Specialists, and fitted with a new alarm/locking system - related bills total £1,600. A superb historied Porsche, it also comes with full service history, a V5C document, and MoT to January 2022. Currently displaying 76,000 miles on the odometer, the car has good bodywork and metallic silver paint, equally good grey leather interior, and very good mechanicals, and at the suggested estimate represents very good value for money. It should be noted that the Targa roof sometimes requires locking manually but otherwise operates correctly.
