Morning Neil,

Wow, looks great.

I have a feeling that it's going to go for a bit more than I'm.wanting to pay though.

Thanks Bob,
If you submit a viewing request we can exchange contact details that way rather than posting numbers publicly.
Thanks
Neil

Is there any history of engine rebuild work please? Apologies if I have missed that.

Hi Grant,
No history of any engine rebuild works. Being specialist owned and maintained gave me peace of mind in that regard.
Additionally, the early 996 cars didn't suffer from the same IMS failure and bore score issues which plagued cars produced from 2000 onwards.
The 1998/1999 cars were fitted with a dual row IMS bearing rather than the small single row bearings fitted from 2000 onwards, and iron piston coatings making bore score a non-issue.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Neil.
