EXTERIOR: Finished in special GT Silver Metallic, this low mileage example is one of only 1,693 40th Anniversary 911s produced. Based on the already desirable manual Carrera 2, the '40 Jahre' was highly spec'd from the factory with a number upgrades including the X51 Power Kit, Turbo front bumper, Aero Kit sill extensions, lower sports suspension, unique badging, and exclusive silver paint from the Carrera GT. Having clearly been cherished and maintained by enthusiast owners since new, the paintwork of this example is deeply glossy with a uniform shine and no scuffs, scrapes, or scratches to report. The overall condition of the car is excellent and the correct 18-inch wheels are also immaculate having just been fully refurbished by Lepsons in a striking dark chrome finish. INTERIOR: Inside, the cabin is equally impressive. This particular car was also spec'd with the desirable sports seat option with the backs painted in GT Silver, complementing not only the exterior of the car but also the centre console and subtle aluminium touches. The Anniversary-specific natural leather trim presents extremely well throughout with minimal signs of wear to the seat centre panels and bolsters. The dark grey carpets are spotless and are protected in the footwells by a set of genuine Porsche overmats. An individually numbered plaque on the centre console adds to the sense of exclusivity, and everything works as it should including the electric sunroof and air conditioning. The leather steering wheel and gear knob are both pristine and we've been unable to find any notable wear in any of the common areas. To summarise - excellent mileage-defying condition and still feeling every bit as special as a limited-edition 911 should. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION: Powering the 40 Jahre is a 3.6-litre flat-six, specially tuned to 345hp (25hp more than the standard Carrera) thanks to the factory-fitted X51 Power Kit. Paired with a slick 6-speed manual gearbox, this 996 delivers both immediacy and refinement in equal measure. The car has been very well maintained throughout its life, with a fully documented Porsche specialist service history stamped in the original booklet. Further testament to its careful ownership and low mileage, it's as tight as a drum to drive. For the new keeper's peace of mind, a full mechanical inspection was carried out on arrival with us, and the technicians were pleased to report a clean bill of health with no leaks or issues. HISTORY FILE: First registered in April 2004 and now showing just 63k miles, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly collectible 911. As one of only 200 UK-supplied examples it's a special car, and with the low mileage, full history, and generally outstanding condition, it ticks every box for the enthusiast, investor, and weekend driver alike. It has seen only 4 registered keepers and has been with the current owner for the last 10 years. During his custodianship the car has been serviced by Charles Ivey Porsche specialists who have also carried out plenty of additional maintenance to keep it in tip-top shape.
