Classic Motoring is pleased to offer this very attractive 2001 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 2 Cabriolet. This low mileage 911 looks great in Orient Red (L8A3) with Savannah Beige interior, black convertible top and highly desirable matching factory hard top. Original options include:

139/340 Heated Seats
413 18” Turbo Look Wheels
446 Colored Crest center caps
476 PSM Stability Management

This documented two-owner car was purchased by the 2nd owner from a Porsche dealer as a CPO car. Since he passed away the car remained within the same family. It has seen very light use in the last two years, the current keepers taking it on occasional light drives to keep everything working well. The car drives well with no issues - brakes and clutch are strong and the car performs exceptionally well. It is totally stock and has never been modified.

This 996 is in great cosmetic and mechanical condition with nice paint all around and a very clean interior. There has been no accident damage, though the front bumper was professionally resprayed (by a concours restoration shop) to correct some scuffs. The bumper, front decklid and mirrors are protected with clear laminate. Inside, the leather interior is in very good condition. Only a few scratches on the center console and a GPS mount on the dash detract from the otherwise tidy and well-kept cockpit. The convertible top is in excellent condition as is the factory hard top. Wheels, tires and trim are excellent and there are no leaks or drips from the engine. Books/Tools/Manuals included in the sale.

Pluses:

Beautiful Orient Red Paint
Desirable Factory Hard top
2-family owner car, previously purchased via Porsche CPO program
No Winters
Clean carfax
6-speed manual gearbox
Excellent Continental tires
Only 32,861 Miles

Minuses:

Light recent use, would benefit from a full fluid service
Touched up scratch on rear deck lid
Center console compartment latch needs repair
Some scuffs in the finish on the center console

Overall this is a very fine #2 condition car that is ready to find a new home. The addition of the hard top makes this a great all-weather GT car ready for you to stack on the miles as you wish. It is currently located in Vermont and will be sold with a current VT registration and title.

Father-son team grows close by building tuned Porsche

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

We've seen several heartwarming videos of kids bonding over cars with their parents, whether racing together or giving them as gifts. The story of Leh Keen and his father McGrath, though, is somewhat different. Not many dads are looking for a vehicle quite this mental.
As Leh tells it, his dad saw a video online of one of the wild Porsches from Japanese tuner Rauh-Welt Begriff and decided that he needed one of the creations in his own garage. Since Leh knows something about cars himself as a driver for Alex Job Racing in the United SportsCar Championship, McGrath put his son in charge of managing the build from the company.
When the car made it to the US for completion from Rauh's famed builder Nakai, father and son bonded over the red, widebody 993-platform 911. The final product is certainly eye-catching. Scroll down to watch the video that features not only an engrossing father-son tale but also a seriously wicked, tuned Porsche from one of Japan's finest.

The 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster only looks weirder with age

Tue, Mar 1 2016

The 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster is undoubtedly a rare car, and it's even rather quick by the standards of the era. However, the designers weren't at their best when they created the odd shape at this model's rear. MotorWeek remembers this classic Porsche's exciting performance and weird look in its latest Retro Review. The Speedster's design isn't all bad. The front end still looks fantastic thanks to the nose of the 964-generation 911 and a steeply raked windshield. We can even live with the body color wheels. However, things get much worse at the rear where the hard cover, which hides the roof, gives the convertible a hunchback. As MotorWeek shows, fitting the manual top is quite fiddly. Porsche might have been better off from a styling perspective by leaving the back smooth and completely ditching the complicated roof. You can't get a good look at the weird rear from the driver's seat, and MotorWeek says that the Speedster excels once you're behind the wheel. The handling and braking are reportedly especially good. Sport seats grip the driver closely, and even with 247 horsepower, the convertible gets to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. With the weather starting to warm up, it sounds like a great experience, and you can imagine taking a ride in MotorWeek's latest video. Related Video:
