Description

  • Just 13,000 km from new

  • Late-production 996.1 GT3 Comfort 

  • One of only 1,868 examples produced for RoW markets 

  • 3 owners from new

The Porsche 996.1 GT3 needs little introduction. Developed by Porsche Motorsport as a road-going homologation model, it brought genuine motorsport technology to the road, including the legendary 3.6-litre Mezger flat-six derived from Porsche's Le Mans-winning 911 GT1 programme.

Only 1,868 examples were produced for Rest of World markets between 1999 and 2001, making the 996.1 GT3 one of the most significant and desirable modern classics from Porsche's Motorsport era.

This 996.1 GT3

This left-hand-drive Comfort specification 996 GT3 was sold new on 3 May 2001 by Porsche Stuttgart to a Swiss gentleman through the Tourist Delivery Service (Werksabholung), who used the car sparingly before it sold to the UK. There it was acquired by its current Belgian owner in 2016.

At the time of its sale in 2016, the car had covered just 11,606 kilometres. Since then, only around 1,400 additional kilometres have been added, bringing the current mileage to just 13,000 km from new. The exceptionally limited use throughout its life is reflected in the remarkable condition in which the car has been preserved.

Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a black leather interior, the car retains its original factory appearance. The paintwork is original throughout, with the sole exception of the front bumper, which was repainted by a previous owner. The remaining original paint retains an excellent depth and shine, with the overall presentation entirely consistent with such exceptionally low mileage.

The factory specification is particularly appealing, combining the focused character of the GT3 with the more comfortable equipment of the comfort specification. Options include carbon-fibre centre console and instrument surrounds, electrically adjustable Sport seats, air conditioning, Becker CD radio and leather-covered dashboard and door panels.

The black leather interior remains in superb condition. The seats, dashboard, carpets and trim show remarkably little wear, confirming the limited use the car has seen throughout its life. Both the air conditioning and Becker radio/CD system remain fully functional.

The car comes with its original service book and original documentation, including the instruction manuals, original GT3 sales leaflet, two keys, soft car cover and battery tender. Given the exceptionally low mileage, the service book naturally does not contain a large number of entries, but the car has been properly maintained and has recently passed its technical inspection.

The condition of the car is particularly impressive when considered alongside its mileage. The Arctic Silver paintwork, wheels, interior and mechanical components have all been exceptionally well preserved, while the car retains the character and specification of a largely original early GT3.

Low-mileage 996.1 GT3s are rarely encountered, and examples combining just 13,000 km, largely original paint, documented ownership and complete accompanying documentation are particularly difficult to find. This is a late MK.1 which means it already has several technical improvements such as the electric trunk and engine buttons, alcantara headliner, improved cooling and more,...

The car is accompanied by its original service book, instruction manuals, original GT3 sales leaflet, two keys, soft car cover, battery tender and additional documentation.
