Magnus Walker review guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucVy4z0Qqmw&t=347s
This well-sorted 996.1 is ready for its next owner to enjoy. It has been sparingly used for trips, such as dropping the kids off at their grandmother’s house. With a change in routine, the car is now sitting in the garage, awaiting its next enthusiast.
It looks stunning in Schwarz Black – look no further than this 996 Carrera with a highly desirable Aero Cup Kit that is mechanically sound.
