Just a few weeks ago it was on e-Bay for £7,495 but the bidding only reached £6,300. I watched the auction end without a sale several times. I contacted him, went to see the bike and did the deal outside eBay. I have looked at a few, and this is the best example I have seen. It was also conveniently just 20 mins down the road from me!

996 SPS (Ohlins rear, Showa front)
W-reg
7,000 miles, FDSH
2 owners from new

I'm sure its very good, but I would be suspicious either about the year or the reason that Showa forks have been fitted.

All 2000 onward bikes had grey frame, if its bronze then its a 1999 model. All 2000 models were released with Ohlins front and rear. If its got Showa and its 2000, then they have been retro-fitted.
