That's a "powerful" interior
Nice wee yellow 996 C4S:

, I can feel my wallet trembling at that one! If only it was local, I might accidentally buy that tbh. Beautiful spec and actually an OK price.

Really nice isn't it! I think there's a thread on 911uk about that one. £27k is on the higher side for a C4S with 70,000 miles, but you don't get many yellow ones!
Haha, that red interior is a bit of a bloodbath. Nice but a bit OTT. The crap wheel and older Nav system are really crap for what is an £86k car.
A Gen1 R8 V10+ is a far cooler prospect and an absolute animal compared to a 991 4s, plus cheaper!
Yup, found it originally on 911uk then saw the Ad. A bit spendy but the colour and spec really make it quite the car.
This is from someone who hated the fried egg look but has now grown to like it, more so that a 997.
The 996 4S is getting a real cult following. I sometimes wonder if it would have been a more interesting choice than a 997. Both cars are great to drive.
The R8 V10 is a serious piece of kit. An actual super car rather than a sports car. Depends on what you want I guess, but a manual mid engined V10 is a rare breed. Alternatives include a Gallardo or a Carrera GT.
Interesting. I've seen another on the 911uk classifieds, in blue, with 113k, but a full Hartech rebuild and owned by one of the Hartech owners previously. Looks ok for 17k, if there's been a suspension refresh somewhere in those later miles.
The R8 V10+ scared the hell out of me when I got a px ride ride in one, just such a visceral feeling. The 911 did not get close to that acceleration or noise, despite the cracking 6 engine.
Carrera GT would be the want of wants, but I'd also have wanted to invest my savings in crypto back in 2016 to be able to afford one now

We had a drive of this 991 last week when going for a browse at the OPC.
Lovely car with the sport exhaust and the red interior was great. Hated the old style wheel and silly dual sided push button paddle things and the fact it's quite expensive
It also didn't feel as fast as I thought it would. Cracking sound and a good pull, but it felt slower than the m50d even though it clearly isn't!

Wow see what you mean, I'd imagine for 500 quid they'd easily be refurbed but for the amount the car is they should be done already.Absolutely shocking they're presenting an £86k car with the wheels in that state!
You posted all of that and didn't include any photos? I am disappoint992 C4S arrived last week and finally had time to drive it a bit today, it handles great - better than the weight suggests it should - and the interior is a big step up, it feels more like a mini Panamera and will be a great GT car. Start stop is a complete pain and the first thing I did was turn it off when it (ok, me) almost put me in someone at a roundabout.
My Audi won't kick in start-stop until you're firm on the brakes and stopped, so I forgot these newer EU-friendly cars will kick off the engine JUST before you stop, which is also the point where you decide to go at a junction. Oops.
But it's still also a fast everyday sports car, I can hustle it down twisty roads with complete confidence. Staying below the 4k running in rev limit of course!
Ride quality is fine and quiet, and copes slightly better expected with our awful roads, except for the big bumps which only a large SUV can soak up.
I didn't spec PDCC or lowered suspension, but I'd guess that with the former it will cope slightly better with bumpy roads but otherwise don't see the point of either on a 911.
In terms of tech...
Not quite sold on all the driver displays behind the wheel, 911s have always had wide displays but now it's almost all LED it means things move around a bit and sometimes stuff hides behind the steering wheel.
I didn't spec surround cameras which I'm kinda regretting, but to be honest it just means actually being aware of surroundings which is no bad thing. I also didn't spec blind spot assist because I dislike these systems.
I did spec the lane assist and I've already turned it off, but the active cruise works well, better than the wife's merc.
Finally the sports exhaust is 'alright', not crazy loud of course - got to keep the EU happy - certainly friendly for everyday driving without everyone looking as happens when I start the RS6!
