1999 Porsche 911/996 Carrera Cabriolet
1999 Porsche 911/996 Carrera Cabriolet
The Porsche 996 represented a significant evolution of the 911, introducing a new generation of water-cooled flat-six engines whilst retaining the familiar rear-engined layout and unmistakable silhouette that had made the 911 such an enduring sportscar. Today, the 996 Carrera offers an increasingly attractive entry into modern classic Porsche ownership, combining genuine sporting credentials with everyday usability and the added appeal of open-top motoring.
This is a particularly appealing low-mileage example, having covered just 28,400 miles from new. Originally supplied to the UK, the car was subsequently taken to Guernsey, where it spent the majority of its life. The current owner acquired it in 2018 and is just the third registered keeper. Finished in an attractive colour combination, it is offered with its matching hardtop and benefits from a particularly generous specification, including Tiptronic transmission, 18-inch SportDesign alloy wheels, heated electric seats, aluminium interior detailing and a wind deflector.
Since 2020, the Porsche has seen relatively little use, although the owner has been careful to take it out every few weeks for a short drive to keep everything moving. Its overall condition is very good and certainly reflects the modest mileage. The bonnet has previously been repainted, although some reaction and micro-blistering has since appeared in the finish, meaning it may benefit from further attention.
Unfortunately, the vehicle's accompanying history and paperwork were misplaced during a house move, which is a great shame. Nevertheless, the car's overall presentation provides an encouraging indication of its mileage and careful ownership. The vendor also reports he had the soft-top changed a few years ago along with a glass rear window, the total cost was circa £7,000. Prospective purchasers should, however, allow for an element of recommissioning, given that it has not officially been on the road for several years. A very attractive, low-mileage 996 Cabriolet with the added practicality of a factory hardtop and excitingly offered without reserve. Consigned by Fraser Smith
