We teamed up with carphile.co.uk to bring you this video which discusses what we look for when buying a Porsche 996 (911), giving hints and tips about what you should look for when buying one of these cars. Our co-founder, Adam Caulfield, was tasked with the job of delivering our thoughts on this wonderful piece of engineering. The 996-series Porsche 911 was manufactured between 1997 and 2004. It was arguably the biggest change (to date) Porsche had made in the history for the Porsche 911, as well as the point at which the engine moved from air to water cooling.

We were commissioned to re-build the engine, fit a front oil-cooler and re-wire the car to run on the later engine whilst maintaining the original instrument clocks and dash controls. We also modified and setup the suspension to improve handling and aesthetics. A challenging but fun project. Needless to say that both the client [...]
