5th Millennium 996 RHD UK spec found

Whoever damaged it, appears to have signed it too...

Great thread - well done for saving a rare 996. Not many millennium 996s with an aero kit I'd wager, specially with that mileage? The Aero Kit was a (£4995) factory option, code XAA. However many cars (mine included) had the Aero Kit factory fitted but with no XAA option code, but the Porsche Exclusive option code instead: 09981. This code seemed to cover quite a few other options that were factory fitted but not specified.

Good luck - although it looks like you know what you are doing.

:worship:
 
Good luck restoring it!!
 
Well done that man for saving what is a rare car in the UK. There were 123 Uk registered 40th Anniversary cars - we're common as muck compared to yours! Good luck with the restoration - might be cheaper to change your name to Massiv Winker than pay for a respray and a private plate though - just a thought.

Cheers.Ian

I really like the colour. It'll be a very nice car once it's all fixed up.
 
i properly love this, taking something that once was a bit of rare jewel, but now a bit desheveled and bringing back it's shine!
Getting hold of a "fixer-upper" is common enough with houses, but seems rarer with cars - something "best left to the experts"
Ok, you have to be a bit handy with the spanners or have a fat wallet to let someone else do the dirty work, i guess?
But like a house, do as much as you can yourself and get a huge dollop of satisfaction of a job well done!

Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing the updates
 
I only have the spanners :mrgreen:

Not done much to Mr Winker.
Tried our best to weather proof it as its outside during the day time. I need get round to finding a front screen and fitting the rear I have

I have found a 10pin RHS wing mirror. Much fun was had straightening the pins. Its now fitted, tested and works which im very happy about. Having a Porsche with all the options is ok till you need to find that rare bit.

I wonder if that's the aerokit spoiler and side-skirts but normal bumper? That seems to happen quite a lot (was the case with my car).

Could be although my car has the front bumper too.
 
Hey Joe

Looks like there's another on AutoTrader!

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classi...Nearly New&onesearchad=New&radius=1500&page=1

No. 041 according to the pics of the plaque, although seller seems confused whether it's 094 or 041 :roll:

So is that 6 UK RHDs known about now?

Maybe someone needs to tell the seller that his "of which only 3 were made in right hand drive" might not be an entirely accurate statement and maybe his asking price is a little strong as a result!

Being discussed here

=> 041 or 094?
 
Is the country code on that bonnet sticker C18 :?:

If it is, that's Japan so would explain a lot.
 
Hi All,

haha 3 RHD in the UK...I do not think so unfortunately...Chalk another one up...I have one. Automatic (Tip) with 87k miles.

Worth holding onto to or getting rid?? Also, what could I look to get for it? Good condition.

Thoughts welcome.

Cheers,
John
