This 996 Turbo was delivered new on 4 April 2003 through Centre Porsche Lorient, a genuine French-market car (C05) confirmed on the option sticker. It is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (L92U) over a factory Porsche Exclusive natural leather interior in brown (X99), ordered in a colour to sample with draped leather seats and the extended leather package. You will struggle to find another 996 Turbo ordered this way.
The Exclusive treatment runs through the whole cabin: leather on the loudspeaker covers, rear centre console, instrument surround, air vents, steering column and defroster panel (XKL, XMZ, XNG, XNN, XNS, XNU, XJ4, XN3, XV1), joined by the 3-spoke sports steering wheel in the interior colour (XPA) and the aluminium and leather gear lever and handbrake (X97, X98). It is also generously equipped for grand touring, with electric comfort seats, PCM2 navigation, BOSE sound, cruise control and xenon headlights, riding on 18-inch Turbo II wheels. And the cherry on the cake: it was ordered without a sunroof, keeping the clean roofline the purists want.
The stamped service book shows Porsche Centre maintenance throughout its life, with a fully traceable mileage from 8.799 km in 2004 to 73.695 km today. In December 2022 a renowned German Porsche specialist carried out an engine-out job with a new dual-mass flywheel and clutch, along with new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. Most recently it received a major service including fresh spark plugs and brake fluid in August 2026, and the French roadworthiness test (CT) is valid until May 2028. The car comes with the complete wallet, both keys and all manuals.
