We are delighted to get back into stock the nicest early 996 Carrera coupe we’ve ever seen. V749LYA is a manual 1999 Carrera coupe in Arctic Silver with Metropole Blue extended leather interior, and has covered just 71,655 miles over the last 25 years.

Flat Six Classics first bought the car in November 2023 from a local chap who, in addition to regular servicing, undertook a huge programme of refurbishment and improvement over the five years he had the car, covering all aspects: brakes, brake lines, IMS upgrade, clutch, exhaust system, cooling system, suspension, AC condensers, wheel refurbishment, Michelin tyres, modern hifi unit with DAB etc etc. The inch think history file contains all invoices from 2009 to present, along with old purchase invoices, MOT certificates, and a fully stamped service record with 18 stamps for scheduled maintenance.

V749LYA was first registered to a Dr Bates from Taunton, who collected his car from the Porsche [...]

A fabulous 4 owner 2006 Cayman 2.7 in Guards Red with gold wheels, ST56XBW also features what must be the shortest option list in modern Porsche history. I bet the salesman at Porsche Centre Edinburgh got a right ticking off from his manager for allowing such a thing to be ordered at all!

The original – and canny – long term owner deliberately specced his Cayman with just what he wanted and nothing else. Heated seats, cruise control and a top tinted windscreen, plus the no cost option of having the Cayman badge deleted from the rear boot lid. Total spend on options? £537.02 + VAT, which must be some kind of record. And he had the standard 17″ wheels repainted gold in 2010, well over a decade before they became de rigeur on the latest GT3 press cars from Porsche Cars GB.

What Mr Hunter unwittingly (…or intentionally) created is a lightweight, driver focussed [...]

Another car we’ve been fortunate to sell a couple of times before, LX56BZE is a fantastic example of the 987 Gen 1 Cayman 2.7 presented in Arctic Silver with black leather, with a great driver-focussed specification and the benefit of an upgraded suspension setup thanks to the Bilstein B6 dampers fitted by a previous owner in 2018.

Now showing 84,932 miles, the car has a full service history from Porsche and respected Porsche specialists, and features the following factory fitted options – sports seats, Sport Chrono with a black faced stopwatch, extended leather to the dashboard and door panels, ParkAssistant, 18″ Cayman S 987.1 5-spoke alloy wheels, grained leather steering wheel with round centre, and the car has been recently fitted with a double DIN touchscreen ATOTO head unit with DAB, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, plus uprated speakers.

On the road LX56BZE drives superbly, the 245bhp 2.7 litre flat-six providing ample performance and a [...]

Here we have a really nice, low mileage “facelift” Boxster 2.7 from the final year of production. First registered in March 2004 by Porsche Centre Exeter with the registration number WA04DCY, this lightweight “no frills” Boxster 2.7 was specified with just two factory options – metallic Atlas Grey paint, and 18″ 996.2 Carrera alloy wheels. The result is a gloriously simple Boxster, that drives superbly and benefits from it’s lightweight specification – the complete AC system alone in one of these cars probably weighs at least 25kgs!

The facelift 986 models were produced in 2003 and 2004 at the end of the production run, and featured a number of enhancements over the earlier models – slightly more power (up from 220bhp to 228bhp in the 2.7), a new hood design with a heated glass rear window, revised bumpers and air intakes, and a few additions to the interior, notably a glove box and cupholders (how [...]
