Join me on collection day of my new (to me) special edition '40 Jahre' Porsche 911 from Paragon Porsche!

This special occasion was shared with members of the 9WERKS 'Driven Not Hidden Collective - if you'd like to join visit: / 9werks
A big thanks to members of the Collective for joining on collection day, and of course to Paragon Porsche for selling me the most exquisite 40th anniversary 911. First drive video coming soon!

I collected my 40th Anniversary Edition 996 yesterday.
Just brilliant. What a car.
My wife and I both love it.
Lots of thumbs up from other drivers and riders.
I cannot believe this is a 20 year old car with such low mileage . Paragon certainly do a thorough job to make the vehicle like brand new congratulations . I remember Sam from Seen through glass having one but he never used it hope you use yours and enjoy it
Lee, I can only echo your comments. I found my 911 via the 9werks marketplace last year; it was at Paragon - they were brilliant. As you pointed out the preparation work that they carry out exceeds that you would expect from a Porsche main dealer.
Welcome to the X51 family 😁 looking very much forward to hearing about your experiences of the differences between Little Irish and this…..what’s the name? Gandalf the Gray? 😂
Vk6ab- you could not be wrong more on every point. The car is the perfect proportions - and is still the King of Soorts cars -
Lee - your passion and excitement shines through. There’s a refreshing humility in there as well. Enjoy your new 996!
Wooohooop🎉🎉🎉🎉 You sneaky little..😂😂😂 Another 996, but the best of the best non-GT 996👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Congratulations Lee!!!
Nice one Lee - car looks great, the 996 gen cars are looking better with age.That grin on your face driving it off the forecourt says it all. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Congratulations Lee! It couldn’t have gone to a better home. I wish I lived in GB to be able
To purchase from Paragon. Clearly they go above and beyond making sure the cars are as perfect as can be. Wow!👍🏻
Oh my... From a big fan of your channel from NZ, all my best wishes with this gorgeous example of the 996 model. It could not be in better hands. Last time I wrote, I was still looking for my 996. I'm delighted to tell you I now have a beautiful '99 Carrera 4 in Paladio Metallic (Mirage)... purchased with only 64,000 kilometres on the clock. Your passion for the 996 was a big factor in my choice. I absolutely love my fried egg bastard child of the 911 family, there's no other model I would prefer. All the reasons others denigrate it, I embrace. Love ya work Lee, keep 'em coming.
I agree that the 40AE is truly special 911 that’s currently underappreciated.
And it looks like you found an excellent example. Congrats! 🎉
Around here they carry a hefty premium, especially for a 996. You can get a nice 997 for the same $, so you need to be a big fan of 996 to still want one at these prices.
I absolutely love mine. #1033 sitting in my garage right now and I can’t wait until the weekend to take it on a coffee run. Such a special car, one of my favorite details that most reviews miss is the special perforated leather on the steering wheel, shifter, and seats that is different from all other 996s.
Enjoy!
Great looking car! Health to Drive! Unreal finish from Mark and the Team, lots of nice cars in the showroom
Fantastic well deserved Lee. Superb car - great to see how excited you are - well done 👏
Sweet ride! Congrats! It’s nice to share a day like thy with friends, too.
Congratulations, it is so rare to see a car garage that does a proper job. Generally this is our second biggest purchase to our house, often it is such a poor experience. The standard of the car looks fantastic as is your enthusiasm. Enjoy the new car and look forward to see more.
Congratulations looks beautiful
Congratulations what an outstanding 996. Paragon have a very impressive set up!
What a stunning purchase Lee and well deserved. The car was presented to such an incredible standard, I can see why they set standard when it comes to a used Porsche purchase. Wishing you many happy motoring miles and further uploads can't wait👍
Well done Sir that is one stunning 911 I hope you and your wife enjoy driving all over the UK 🤩👍
Congratulations Lee!!! After years of wanting a Porsche 911, it was a friend who convinced to go with the 40 Jahre. (It was his 11th Porsche and he’s had quite the collection along with one that he didn’t want to part with) I haven’t regretted it one bit. Last of the narrowbody, RWD, naturally aspirated, 6-speed, GTS before GTS all in one awesome package. PCCM+ next!
Congratulations Lee, that is stunning. Enjoy in good health 😊🙏🏼👍🏼
Congratulations lee lovely car I really do get appreciate the Porsche thing and wow I was always main dealer but paragon on another level one day I will get a Porsche my old mk5 r32 golf will just have to do happy for you great video as always cheers
Well happy 40th Edition Lee and can't wait on the details on it 😁.
Well deserved mate.
Congratulations on such a beautiful purchase Lee! Enjoy brother! Cheers from the USA
Thank you kind sir!
Congratulations. Beautiful and special 911. Enjoy….
Awesome Lee. Such a lovely car when I saw it in the showroom on collection day. Super well deserved 😊
A beauty. Enjoy it!
Hopefully you mean surpassed, not usurped your expectations, sounds like you're stoked, congrats.
It’s absolutely gorgeous and I’m super happy for you
Didn’t let the wife be seen or drive , naughty 😃
Many happy polishes and drives coming up
Will be at the far end of every car park with the rest of us 😂
Hahahaha, agreed on the car park scenario! As for Mrs Sibs, she's adamant she doesn't wish to be on screen, no matter how much I ask!
Congratulations Lee .. it’s a beaut. I took a mate to collect his 996 C4S a year ago from Paragon. The prep is definitely best I’ve seen . I think they could teach a few OPC a trick or two
Congratulations! The 40ae is stunning. It looks brand new inside and out! Outstanding!
This special edition is great value, narrow body, fantastic and underrated
The original ‘Carrera II’ wheels were a polished chrome finish on this particular model - personally I prefer the refurb yours has had, much like mine on my old 996. A great car, you are absolutely right to be chuffed to bits - enjoy it!
Congratulations what a car! What a lovely car. I bought a 996 Turbo S from Paragon- suffice to say the car was brilliant as was the after-sales service. Shame I eventually sold it.
Super happy for you Lee!
We'll let it slide that it's not red 😜
And how hard was it to get the video to 9:11 ?
Can't wait for the in-depth review.
Happy motoring mate!
Congratulations, now get some nice coilovers for it, Gundo mod, Retrofit labs upgraded HID headlight projectors and PS4S tires.
Congratulations Lee, a wonderful purchase. A fantastic insight into the incredible standards that Paragon ensure.
You could dive headfirst into that paint! Lovely! Congrats Lee!!
Congrats Lee, can't wait to see the coming adventures with the new car.
Love the excitement and even slightly trembling voice at times here Lee, wish you many miles of happiness and smiles in that absolutely cracking example of a peak 996!
Someone was chopping onions in that showroom, I am adamant! Cheers for the kind words mate.
Congrats, beautiful car!
Very nice car, the condition of it and the attention to detail that Paragon provide means it must be the nearest you're ever likely to get to experiencing what it must have been like to buy it new. You've got some responsibility there to keep it looking that way! 👍
Tell me about it, James - it's a slightly scary thought with the responsibility I have to say.
Happy days...well done mate
Congratulations. What a beauty!
Thank you!
What a gorgeous, special car & fantastic example. Congrats and enjoy!
Better than OPC! Can’t get better than that. Absolutely beautiful! 🎉👌🏽👍🏽
What happened to the 996 40 Jahre edition ?
Looking forward to it, great channel !
🎉🎉 congratulations mate!
Congrats. Just sold my 40AE, but it was a wonderful car. The wheels aren't the correct finish, but IMO yours look better.
Agreed, I had consdiered putting the wheels back to stock look but there;s no way the finish will be as good as currently, so I'll leave them.
Wow...what an amazing place to buy from..Nothing like that here in New Zealand!! Awesome...well done and congratulations.
Congratulations Lee. It's a beautiful car. Looking forward to seeing videos of the car. Happy Motoring!
Congratulations 👏
Wow - great service! That prep is spot on! I'm surprised at that level of prep they didn't go ahead and flush ALL the fluids. And BTW - Beautiful car! Congratulations!
Thank you! And I suppose they need to leave a margin in somewhere to earn a living!
Congrats on that immaculate special 996.
Can't wait for my CGT to arrive from them. oh I wish.
Glad to hear that Paragon take such pride in their predelivery. Even Porsche don't do that, my NEW GT3 took 2hours of cleaning when I got home. Disgusting!
Congratulations! No wonder you're chuffed - what a great looking car!
Congrats mate!
Love it Lee. Great car. Glad you're keeping Little Irish too. You've got to come over to NI and we'll take a run around the Antrim Coast. I'm privileged to be able to drive it a few times every year in my C2.
Lovely car Lee...It looks absolutely immaculate..👍👍
Amazing car, congrats
Congrats Lee, overjoyed for you! Enjoy the blessing
What a lovely thing to say! Thank you.
Congratulations…. Very nice sample! Enjoy!!!
Congratulations Lee, what a car…. One day 🤞❤️
Congrats mate! Bought one brand new in the summer of 2004. Great ownership experience. Loved all the special bits on this model. I never understood why this model doesn’t get the love like the 50 AE? I kept the luggage & still use the wallet as my daily. Enjoy in good health. Cheers/B
The value discrepancy of the 30th & 50th compared to the 40th is a chasm. The fact that Lee has driven so many incredible Porsche cars over the years and chooses to buy a second 996 and this specific model speaks volumes.
Congratulation.
Agreed on your model choice. Amazing service at that dealer!
Congrats. I used to drive past Paragon every day and have always dreamed to get a car from there. One day!
Good to see you continuing to fly the 996 flag
Congrats Lee, now come over to Norway and do some mountain passes with us this summer :-D
Congratulations 🎉 what a beautiful 996 40th.
I love the silver front grill, might see if I can paint mine silver!
Congratulations Lee, hope you enjoy your new toy. Looks splendid.
Could you send me a link to become a patron please?
Thank you James. Here's the link for you: www.patreon.com/9WERKS
@@9WERKSTV cheers Lee, you have an ex pat / new patron signing up from New Hampshire USA, been listening to the podcast for 2 years and will be good to support the strong work you and the team are doing.
This is awesome, thanks James. Your support and kindness is much appreciated.
I share your happiness as the owner of 0348. Look forward to your driving impressions video . I think they had a more than generous dose of Porsche magic - weight less than 1400 kg and ‘only’ 345PS (plus the secret weapon of a LSD). Hope to see you out and about at 996 or 40 Jahre meets. Andrew
Jubi40, congratulations!! Enjoy it!
Well done I remember this dealership from 20 years ago…
Congratulations mate!! Enjoy the motor!
Wow 😍❤️ congratulations 🎈 what an awesome 911 ❤️ besides the 930 turbo, my favorite is the 996 turbo or the 996 gt2 ❤️
Congrats Lee! It would be cool to do a video one day with someone at Porsche on the myths about the 40 jahre :) (for example, did they really make 1963 of them)
I agree! Leave it with me…
Congratulations! It’s a stunner. Looks totally mint. Just needs a duck tail! :)
Thanks for the kind words, Julian!
Congrats and well bought!
Wow,congratulations!!!
Wow! Congrats !
Congratulations on a gogorgeous 911
Lovely car - very happy for you
The car looks fantastic. Health to drive!
Congratulations well deserved too 👍👍
Hello Lee, why don't we see more content about your beautifull "new" 996, I would really like to know how you like and enjoy your last purchase!
Hi Frank, I am swamped for content currently so will come back to this in due course.
😊🎉🎉
Extremely nice example , looks stunning !
These are 350 bhp with the x51 power kit ?
Thanks, they are 345bhp, with X51 Powerkit.
I just watched video again , you mentioned it in video , I must of missed that bit when I answered my front door 😂
Congratulations. Lovely example for sure. I’m searching for a 996 also but undecided between the beautiful C4S and the 40 Jahre …..thoughts?
Thank you! The 40 Jahre is a genuine special edition, the C4S is a nice car but not a numbered production run… plus they made many thousands of 'em!
Cool enjoy my friend
Happy New car lee and a great video.
Thank you kindly.
GT Silver is best silver
Agreed, and I’m not biased at all, opening a 996 40th AE as well 😊
Nice choice..enjoy !!
Thank you.
Correction… people NEED Porsches. BTW I wondered who bought that car, I was so close to getting it but I dithered…Doh!
Congratulation!🎉😃 it looks awesome👌🏽🤍
Congratulations bro 😎
I didn’t realise non turbo cars could have a power pack from factory, what power upgrade does an x51 have ?
Also, the 911 badge on the back, is that just on the anniversary editions ?
Didn’t realise paragon were so good !!! Could they source me a 944 S2 ?
Sorry for all the questions, congratulations on the car 👍
Yesssssssss!!
