Michael isn't your average bloke. He's loud, he's muscular, he's dressed in blue, and he's got absolutely no interest in blending into the crowd.
Under that long American bonnet beats a glorious **5.0-litre V8**. That's eight cylinders of freedom, thunder and questionable relationships with your neighbours. 🇺🇸
Michael doesn't wake up in the morning. He **ROARS INTO EXISTENCE**.
He's the kind of bloke who turns up to a barbecue wearing sunglasses, carrying a six-pack and somehow ends up being the centre of attention without saying a word.
💙 **What's Michael bringing to the party?**
🏎️ 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 — because there's no replacement for displacement!
⚡ 10-speed SelectShift automatic — smooth when you want it, savage when you need it.
🔥 Only 61,216 kilometres on the clock.
🎨 Gorgeous blue exterior with black interior.
🇦🇺 NSW registration until July 2027.
😎 Proper American muscle-car attitude.
Michael can be a gentleman when required. He'll happily cruise down the coast, take you out for dinner or behave himself on the way to work.
But give that accelerator a little encouragement, and suddenly you're starring in your own Hollywood action movie.
**Is Michael economical?** Depends how much you enjoy smiling.
**Is Michael practical?** He's got a boot, hasn't he?
**Will Michael make your neighbours jealous?** Almost certainly.
**Will you find yourself taking the long way home?** Every. Single. Time.
Michael isn't just a car. He's a midlife crisis with excellent taste, a soundtrack you never get tired of, and a very good reason to get out of bed on Sunday mornings.
And unlike most expensive hobbies, Michael actually comes with four wheels and a steering wheel.

2003 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 996 | 3.6L FLAT SIX | TIPTRONIC | 105,486KM | MIDNIGHT BLUE
Some gentlemen grow old gracefully. Others simply refuse to grow old at all.
Meet Piech, a distinguished German gentleman with impeccable manners, expensive tastes and a rather wonderful habit of making grown adults behave like excited children.
At 23 years of age, Piech is looking remarkably handsome. He's never been one for loud shirts, unnecessary jewellery or showing off at traffic lights. He prefers a tailored suit, a good watch and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly who he is.
And unlike many Porsches his age, Piech has led a remarkably sheltered existence.
While other 911s were being modified, lowered, fitted with enormous wings or passed between enthusiastic owners, Piech spent his life in the careful hands of just TWO elderly, fastidious custodians.
The sort of people who kept every important receipt, treated their possessions with respect and wouldn't dream of putting a wet umbrella on the leather seats.
And goodness, did they look after him.
A GENTLEMAN FROM STUTTGART
Finished in beautiful Midnight Blue with a wonderfully preserved black leather interior, Piech presents with the unmistakable honesty of a car that has been genuinely cherished.
His original dashboard, switches, leather, trim, Porsche PCM system and factory alloy wheels have all been preserved. No questionable modifications, no aftermarket body kits and certainly no attempts to turn him into something he isn't.
Piech would consider that terribly vulgar.
The only concession to modern life is a discreet MoBridge Bluetooth integration, providing contemporary connectivity without compromising his original appearance.
After all, even a traditional gentleman should be able to answer his telephone.
BUT DON'T LET THE GOOD MANNERS FOOL YOU
Behind those elegant curves sits Porsche's magnificent 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, paired with a five-speed Tiptronic transmission.
Civilised around town, beautifully balanced on a winding road and accompanied by that unmistakable flat-six soundtrack.
Piech may be a gentleman, but he still knows how to misbehave.
HIS CREDENTIALS
- 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 996 MY03 - 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six - Five-speed Tiptronic automatic - Just 105,486 kilometres - Only TWO elderly, fastidious owners - FULL stamped service logbooks - THREE keys - Stunning Midnight Blue exterior - Beautifully preserved black leather interior - Original factory specification - Original Porsche alloy wheels - Original Porsche PCM infotainment system - Discreet MoBridge Bluetooth integration - Australian-complied vehicle - NSW registration until December 2026
ORIGINALITY IS BECOMING A RARITY
Finding a 996 Carrera isn't particularly difficult. Finding one that hasn't been modified, neglected or passed through numerous hands is another story entirely.
As the 996 generation matures into a genuine modern classic, enthusiasts are increasingly appreciating the very things Piech has retained: originality, honest presentation, documented history and that wonderful analogue Porsche driving experience.
He's not a restored car trying to look original. He's an original car that has been lovingly preserved.
And there's a world of difference.
READY FOR HIS THIRD OWNER
After 23 years with just two careful custodians, Piech is ready for his next chapter.
Perhaps Sunday morning drives, weekends in the countryside or simply the pleasure of opening the garage and admiring one of the world's most recognisable sports car silhouettes.
Come and inspect him. Sit behind the wheel, examine the beautifully preserved interior and flick through those stamped service books.
You'll quickly understand why we're so enthusiastic about this particular Porsche.
Piech isn't the loudest gentleman in the room. He's the impeccably dressed fellow sitting quietly in the corner with a fascinating history and absolutely nothing to prove.
And somehow, that's what makes him so appealing.

Come and meet Piech. He's charming, sophisticated, beautifully preserved and looking for a long-term relationship.
Just remember one thing.
He may be a gentleman, but he's still a Porsche. And gentlemen, as we all know, occasionally misbehaves.
