Car looked after by local German Specialist (Scotts Performance)
New MOT in July 2015

Car is in fantastic condition inside and out (with the recent paint job).

has had very light track usage over its years. I done one half day at Bedford just after I got the car in may 2014 but none since then. has been used for road trips plus a jaunt to north wales for evo triangle. no ring usage in my possession either.

have all the original launch booklets, Porsche leather pouch for documents and MOT going back to first one in 2006.

car had some front end damage when fairly new in 2005/under warranty and was then repaired under Insurance. it had new bumper, bonnet and drivers side wing. damage was fairly light and was redone by Porsche. I have had this all checked and professionally certified last year and when it was painted to make sure there are no long term issues.

not a CAT car and no finance. on the HPI check it will come up as 'inspected' I think it says.

Price is £50,000. its a good car with loads spent on it recently and excellent paintwork and wants for nothing.

reason for sale is lack of use and looking to move home potentially in the next few months. if its goes then it goes if it does not will keep it.

Hi, is the vehicle a CAT C or D, or just damaged when nearly new?

Thanks.

Dan
 
nope not a CAT C or D car so not on the register.

it had the damage when it was nearly new as I said. it was 2005 so it was repaired through Porsche as you would have had to go through that route due to warranty.

hope that helps.
 
Seen this close up, nice motor! GLWS.
Surprised younare selling, must be a nice house!
