Nice one dude, I was looking at that one on Autotrader as well, seemed like a good one. Pedantic me would like to point out that it’s a spoiler not a wing, wings generate downforce whereas spoilers reduce lift. Also C2 has black calipers, C4 silver and turbo red. I was also going to repaint my calipers until I found out the caliper colour denotes the model, and now I’ll keep the black. Pedantry done, good luck with it, glad it’s gone to an enthusiast!
Thank you for the comment didn't know that about the calipers maybe they should stay black then, the car is a jem got another video coming this week 😊 Thanks for watching
Love it ... I have a October 97 Built arctic metallic silver / manual Carrera with Graphite interior and sunroof. They are seriously nice cars, very nimble and fast and becoming a genuine classic. Look after it and enjoy it!
@@Sgoasjdjasdkasd Hi there, mine is 601160, so yours is just a bit earlier than mine. I have sourced a set of original 408 option 18" hollow spokes that the car cam with new and am having them refurbished. I have ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 265/35 and 225/40 for the wheels, putting it back to the way it left the factory.
@@easydriver3117 I’ve owned a ‘73T , 944 & driven 356, 993,997Turbo , GT3 , GT3 RS , GT4 RS ….. and given the price which makes 996 more usable for regular folks , it’s just the most sensible car for me … I think the lights will be iconic as time goes on and the ims , rms , AOS issues dissapear as we just address whatever needs to be addressed like all the other cars ..
Bought mine in 1998 and still have it 26 years later.
Super cool interior. 😎
Well done, I have just bought a 996 and love it, they are great cars
@@rcclassicgarage fantastic enjoy 🤗

I've put amber indicators on my black 05 Turbo and now I have a 98 just like yours..Arena Red with beige interior./love them both.
Oh nice don't see many in the red, very nice
Amber lights on 17" wheels.. A Peach
@bangkokballer4103 thanks, absolutely in love with her
We called them egg faced when they first came out. Still a fantastic car that with proper maintenance can be given to your grandkids.
@@Teeveepicksures yh they gotta be looked after, still my favourite 911
Great car and even better interior!
@lucasfirmin7680 I know thank you it's perfect will do just a video on the interior
I don't mind the Nephrite green, nothing is as bad as Sahara beige 🤢
Nice original car!
Nice !!! Good choice :)
I own a 2000 c2 in silver with the red interior and aero kit. I think the 996.1 model is so iconic these days. I wouldn’t want anything else.
oh nice yes definitely the most iconic out of Porsches in my eyes
You said it best , 996 is iconic & is a usable 911 … great cars which seems to be the opinion of those who have/had them..
@ronp1524 they really are, currently on a roadtrip in it and usable on every road 😇

Great! I have a 99 exactly the same!
Looks like a nice clean example, enjoy 🙂
@@DansFlatSix thank you

Nephrite green trim ...
@bangkokballer4103 yes not everyday u see it in person, absolutely perfect
