“Right now you can get a 911 for the price of a brand new, very nippy, small hatch. A flat-six-engined, 300bhp-plus, great-handling, loads-of-life-left, unfeasibly practical, bona fide Porsche 911 – for the cost of, say, a Vauxhall Corsa VXR. The catch? It’s the 996 model, the one lots of people ignore because it’s not a ‘proper’ 911; because it’s not air-cooled; because it shares too much with the Boxster including those funny headlights; or because it’s got an engine that will blow up.

“I’m so thankful there’s still a 911 that many enthusiasts hate. Often knocked for its looks, unreliability and pragmatic engineering, the 996 chassis 911 — produced from 1998 to 2005 — is the lone 911 that most can still afford. Even though my first round with the 996 didn’t have a happy ending, it was still good enough to earn a sequel…”
