New Addition - 996 C4S

[James B]

I have just added a (possibly temporary) new member of the fleet. I'll run it for the summer and see how I feel about keeping it.

I hadn't planned on buying but I've always liked the 4S and this one came from a good local gent and had a nice life with him so I knew it was a good car.

I needs nothing really but I'll be servicing and MOTing in Sept. The wheels also show signs of age so I'm thinking of refurbing in a different colour.

It got a good clean tonight and will get a full machine polish tomorrow. I'm off to Torridon in it next weekend so will see how it feels.

Only mod I think I'll do is the same one I did for my brother's 996 C4 which is the fitting of a proper short shift. It really does make the gearshift that much better.

Anyway here are some pics.

When I picked it up;


Cleaned;


Best angle;


Not too shabby from here either though;


No room at the Inn;


Found a willing garage for the old goldie for a short time!;

Looks great, the twin of my car!

Not quite identical twins though eh Mohitos? The OP's is in the much more masculine Arctic Silver.

Nice purchase. I'm sure you'll love it.

(Don't paint the wheels - you'll just ruin them, and the car)

Thanks for the comments folks.

Monthefish, your warning is heeded!
