I bought this car from a friend in November 2014, however I am just not using it as much as I should. I have two other cars and myself and the girlfriend commute to work together in her car. The car has always been garaged since I owned it and not used in the rain at all. This is also pretty much true of the previous owner who kept it off the road over the winter months meaning it is in exceptional condition underneath.

For me it ticked all the boxes I wanted at the time, easy maintenance exterior colour, dark interior, manual gearbox, 2wd tin top coupe and most of the desirable factory options.

Spec is as follows:

Porsche Sports Exhaust
Porsche Stability Management
Bose
CD changer
Aerokit (GT3 style)
Koni shocks with H&R springs (improves the looks massively but still comfortable for daily use)
PCM1
Hard back sport seats with colour coded backs
Stainless door step trims
Silver dials
997 shifter
Low temp thermostat (considered a must on a 3.6)
Parrot 9200 handsfree kit
Recent coffin arms and top mounts

Since purchase I have done the following to bring it up to scratch:

Genuine GT3 alloy wheels (cost me £2k)
Four new Continental N2 rated tyres (less than 300 miles ago)
New oil pressure switch
New spark plugs and coilpacks
New exhaust system gaskets and sleeves
New Bosch S5 battery

The car is currently sat on 75,300 miles and had a minor service at Revolution Porsche Leeds last month. MOT expires in October 2016.

Service history is as follows:

8/5/03 5,855 miles (AFN Porsche) supplying dealership
23/2/04 21,871 miles (Porsche Guildford)
8/10/04 32,445 miles (Paragon)
31/8/05 35,745 miles (Porsche West London)
12/12/06 39,754 miles (Porsche West London)
14/12/07 44,449 miles (Autostrasse)
4/8/09 50,939 miles (Autostrasse)
13/9/10 51,710 miles (Autostrasse)
7/9/11 55,851 miles (JZM)
9/4/13 66,260 miles (Car & Rally Service Ireland)
21/6/14 70,527 miles (Car & Rally Service Ireland)
27/5/15 74,624 miles (Revolution Porsche)
15/7/16 75,257 miles (Revolution Porsche)

When I brought the car back to England I kept it on its Irish plates in order to disguise its age, its ex UK reg is RO02 PYA.

The car is HPI clear, V5 in my name along with quite a lot of old invoices and 3 keys (rare!)

The bad points worth mentioning are:

Stone chips on the front bumper, bonnet and wing tops (expected on this sort of car and not major, just being honest)
Few stone chips and scuffs on the leading edge of the skirts
Aircon condensors don't look great but aircon is ice cold and works fine
Few stone chips and scratches on the wheels (hardly noticeable)

The car is based in Oldham, Greater Manchester.

I'm looking for £18.5k given the excellent factory spec and modifications.
